Sometimes ignorance is an invitation. If I had known what I learned in the making of this hymnal prior to making it, I might not have undertaken it. The original impetus was that we wanted to talk about how to practice some of the mantrās we had recorded and were releasing as the album, Naad Your Heart. The booklets that fit in compact discs are really awkward so we thought we’d just do a separate document. This document ended up being ninety pages, and at every turn revealed gaps in my understanding of it’s content as well as implementation. It has been an insightful process.
