Sat Atma,

 

What are the best Mantra CD's that you have found work good in a class as

background music. I've often wanted to use something, but was concerned it

might not be appropriate as Yogi Bhajan advised that it is better not to use

anything other than 3HO music.

Sat Nam Krishan Shiva,

To be honest with you the music that I use during my classes is always 3ho

music. I believe the reason why Yogi Bhajan is saying that, is because it is

really essential during the kundalini class to work with the Naad. And you

basicaly find that in the mantra cd's of 3ho. Now, the cd's that I use,

depend on the kriyas. Sometimes when there's physical workout that requires

stamina I use the "Power Mantras, Ra ma da sa" by spirit voyage. In more

subtle kriyas I use the "Ardas Bahee" from Crimson Collection vol 6&7. Also

the rythmic "Ivory Coast" track from Gurunam's Heaven's Touch and all of his

cd's work well enough! And lately I keep using the "Shanti" cd by Snatam

Kaur because I fell in love with it in France in the Yoga Festival!

Love and Light

Sat Atma

Dear Krishan Shiva Kaur

 

To avoid confusion on this issue you need to look at the deeper meaning. Yogi

Bhajan was not referring to music produced by 3HO - rather he was referring to

mantras he has introduced specifically to enrich and deepen the practice of

Kundalini Yoga.

 

These mantras are recorded to different melodies by a large number of artists.

Nearly all of the music available from Yoga Technology -

- falls into this category.

 

Sat Nam!
