Hi, I'm Radhika Das and you're listening to Life Minute.

We recently caught up with him to talk about his music, mindfulness, and the power of mantra.

[sings] Om Namah Shivaya.

So the EP was a collection of songs, mantras, that was done in the spirit of trying to condense what was traditionally 45 minutes to one hour long into three-minute mantra sound bites, if you will.

And the idea behind all of the tracks was to try and bring the essence, but in a accessible and relevant format to, to people who ordinarily wouldn't listen to spiritual music, to try and bring that format to the masses.

And, uh, yeah, I feel like it's done a beautiful job of doing that.

The entire EP was produced by a incredible fellow called Ryan Hadlock.

He felt very drawn to it.

It's almost as though it was meant to be, 'cause he'd just got into Eastern spirituality, and so it was a real joy to work with him.

but more.

Yeah.

Kirtan, it comes from the root word kirt, which means to praise or to glorify.

And the idea is that you're praising and glorifying something higher than yourself.

Nowadays, we only glorify people when they get a promotion at work.

You only glorify and pro- you know, praise people when they've done something good for the world.

Um, maybe you sing their praises on their birthday.

but this is different 'cause you're really going into uncharted territory.
