“In general, mantras are all names of God. To sing the names of God is a way of coming back to God. Mantras are words of power that act on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies through the process of sound resonance. This allows for an adjustment of the currents of power to take place, which activates core energy points in our systems. But what truly makes the mantra efficient, and what allows it to vibrate in its full potential, is the intention that you put into the chant.

- God, awaken. God awaken in me, awaken in everyone and everywhere. -
When we sing this mantra truthfully, then wherever people may be they will hear the call and receive the command to wake up, to get up and to move themselves. The mantra in itself already performs the transition from egoism to authentic altruism, for you make this request on your behalf but also on the other's behalf. That's why I always encourage you to sing the various names of God. The mantras are vehicles that allow you to travel the path of the heart, which is the path of love.”
