This beautiful chant was taught to Mirabai by her dear friend Jody "Jyoti" Kessler, who left her body in August of 2024. This chant was recorded as a tribute to Jyoti, who was an incredibly talented singer/songwriter, and an inspiring yoga teacher and interfaith minister,. She truly was and is a light unto this world. Mirabai is grateful to have known her and is honored to release this chant in her name.

This recording features Mirabai Moon on harmonium and lead vocals, Nina Rao on response vocals, Noah Hoffeld on cello, Karttikeya Arul on response vocals and all percussion, and Ganesh Michail Fiber on bass.

Sutra 1.33, one of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, offers practical Yogic wisdom for these times. Swami Satchidananda calls it the 4 locks and keys to interpersonal relationships. It teaches us how to respond to situations in ways that help to foster peace within ourselves and the world around us. This new composition, released on Winter Solstice, features Noah Hoffeld on cello, Karttikeya Arul on percussion, Matt Fass on guitar, Michael Fiber on bass, Angela Hassan on response and harmony vocals, and Mirabai Moon on harmonium, lead and harmony vocals.

Channeled to her in a dream, Mirabai Moon believes this rendition of OM Mani Padme Hum is the most beautiful thing she has ever written. With the addition of folk duo The Levins on harmony vocals, Sara Milonovich of Daisycutter on violin, Karttikeya Arul on percussion, and engineer Mark Dann on bass, this track is pure magic. The way the melody weaves through light and darkness and always returns to the light is reflective of the spiritual journey. Just as the caterpillar becomes the butterfly, and the lotus transcends the muddy water to blossom into the most beautiful flower, so too do we transcend if we persevere and keep reaching for the light. This mantra and the musical delivery of this track will inspire you to do so.
