“When the Self is realized the name of God repeats itself effortlessly and continuously in the heart.”
Sri Ramana Maharshi
Evolving into the most noble human beings we are called to be during these challenging times requires all the resources we can find. Sages of the worlds’ wisdom traditions discovered that precise syllables, intoned with sincere devotion, induce profoundly positive effects throughout our body-heart and mind, infusing our practice with a radiant inner peace and joy.
Offering so much more than the power to calm our preoccupied minds, each mantra and prayer on this album is a living Stream of Grace, transmitting a precise medicine that can uplift, nourish and heal you, dissolve dense obstacles on your path, and carry you home to the Supreme Reality where all things are resolved.
Featuring Miranda’s voice and harmonium, STREAMS OF GRACE is a sumptuous collection of multi-denominational chants and prayers designed to inspire and awaken you.
Produced and arranged by Emmy award-winning composer/producer Gary Malkin, together with iconic kirtan producer/engineer Ben Leinbach, STREAMS OF GRACE also features the aesthetic artistry of musicians such as Paul McCandless (soprano sax), Benji Wertheimer (esraj), Manose (bansuri flute), David Balakrishnan (violin) and other musical luminaries who collaborated on this album designed to transport you into the pure realms where we all belong.
Within the Special Edition which is exclusively available to download here, Miranda leads you in a short meditative introduction into the essence of each mantra, supporting you to engage fully with its medicine.
We invite you to sing along or simply listen and bathe not only the musical beauty of each track, but also receive the blessings of all the beings who have immersed themselves in these mantras and prayers throughout the ages. Feel the Presence that flows through the music and the silence it leads you. Most of all, let each track on this album amplify your deepest prayers for yourself, your loved ones and our world.
