Mantras are Sanskrit prayers that millions have used daily for over three thousand years. The Shaivite Hindu tradition holds that everything we do involves energy, and that energy is nothing other than vibration. Our words, actions, and emotions contribute to a larger energetic field known as prana, or life force. We emit a wave of energy into the world whenever we think or do something. When we repeat a mantra, we direct our energy inward, allowing us to connect with our deeper selves and gain greater control over our minds. It has helped millions of people improve their lives and effect positive change.

​

The Bija Mantras Are The Sounds Of The Chakras. Bija (pronounced BEEJ) means seed. The Bija Mantras are one syllable sounds that are meant to activate the chakras along the center line of the body, or the 7 main chakras. Sounds or vibrations can help to leverage or activate qi or energy.

personal message from J2

I've had the privilege of participating in a spiritually-inspired mediation group led by the London-based medium, Bernard Isley. This journey has been profoundly transformative. About 18 months ago, a significant event unfolded during one of these meditations - I was visited by Indian deities, goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesh. This divine encounter introduced me to a roadmap, an inspired blueprint for a creation intended to be shared with the world - a fusion of ancient Indian Mantras and my signature Indian Trap sound.
 

Guided by these celestial insights, I wholeheartedly embarked on this unique mission. The outcome was an ethereal mantra album, born from my interactions with these deities. This creation process has been an enlightening transformation for me, especially considering that just 18 months ago, my understanding of Mantras was limited.

It is my honor to share this divine musical gift with you today, may you enjoy it in good health and peace.  – J2

Pivotal to the creation of the Mantra Album is S. J. Jananiy, who came onboard to write the Topline melody for the enthralling J2’s music, and has sung all the chants with her robust and enchanting voice, during J2’s journey into weaving power from Mantras.

Personal Message from S. J. Jananiy

“It got me thinking about how these Mantras, encased in Trap music and Indian raga-based music, could be performed live, and that got me curious about those possibilities. Every mantra has at least 32 different vocal layers, along with a unique collage of taans, aalaaps, swaras, and improvisations that blend beautifully with harmonies for Jay’s track!”. Working along with Jay for this very special album was highly explorative by fusing the Vedic Mantras, and his Indian Trap music.

Not only that, but the 7 Bija Mantras, such as Vam, Lam, Yam, Rum, Aum voices, layered with J2’s sublime music, I've interpreted several improvisational phrases.

In this unique album “Mantras”, I’ve collaborated with the renowned LA-based producer Indian Trap aka J2, to create a new sound that combines the ancient Sanskrit mantras and Beej Mantras with Indian-Western classical vocal and ethereal vocal techniques. The vocals are wonderfully merged with the terrific contemporary music by J2. Now, Trap music fans and yogis everywhere can tap into this energy in a modern, exciting and accessible new way” - S. J.
