Ever since she discovered the world of mantra in 2004, Director Georgia Wyss began developing her ideas on how to make a film recognising the importance of the practice of chanting mantras as a means of healing, a practice which she felt could benefit the lives of many.

In 2012 she arranged to meet Deva Premal and Miten during their first visit to Barcelona, and shared her ideas with them for a film about mantra chanting. They loved the idea and wanted to contribute, so the first filming started with them in 2013. That same year opportunities also arose to film and interview Krishna Das and Snatam Kaur in Barcelona, followed by the peace festival in Paris with a concert given by Lama Gyurme and Jean Philippe Rykiel. By now the project was officially born.

Georgia discovered the beauty of people from a diversity of spiritual paths, coming together all over the planet to chant mantras in a variety of musical styles, and the potential this has for creating a more peaceful and loving world.

Most of the music on the album is called Kirtan. Kirtan styled Mantra is a participatory, call and response form of singing that is becoming increasingly popular throughout the world as westerners discover its uplifting and healing effects. Kirtan is not in any way religious but many do describe it as spiritual.

At a Kirtan event, the lines between musician and audience are blurred: the audience members play a vital role in the music through their singing in response to the “call“ of the artist. It is now so popular that several artists, have been nominated and won Grammies.

The full album, “Mantra: Sounds Into Silence (Original Soundtrack)” in available now as well as the lead single by MC Yogi, Only Love Is Real new single,  is available for immediate download.

“A beautiful film which captures the spirit of a music movement that is now spreading across the world. MANTRA is a must-see for anyone who wants to pause and take a look within.”
