Today many people live in fear. These are powerful high-vibrational Mantras for Protection. Durga is the protecting aspect of the Divine Mother - the invincible power of Consciousness, which saves us from all dangers and negativity! Once when Ananda was in great danger, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar recorded a “Special Mantra for Protection” for her, which should be played at home: the Kartikeya Mantra included in this CD. Soon after that she was saved. Since then it has helped many people. In the last soundtrack “Blessing of the Goddess” first thunder is rising, followed by conches, announcing the Goddess - then her voice sounds from heaven: “Lokah Samastha Sukhino Bhavantu” - “May all beings in all worlds be happy !” You may use these powerful “Mantras for Protection” for yourself and your dear ones, for their high vibration of love & peace or for relaxation & meditation. Just close your eyes, relax and enjoy. This album was recorded Sept. 2011 to April 2012 in Bard Audio Studio Koprivnica, Croatia. Vocals by Ananda Vdovic Instruments & sound design by Davor Vdovic.
