Vedic Sound for Wellbeing: A Simple Pathway to Mantra

Season 1 · Episode 40

Saturday, October 17, 2026 • Duration 35:12

An inspiring conversation with Vivek Verma, a Mantra and sacred sound healer from Mumbai, in which he shares some of his own experiences with himself as well as his students, in context with the application of Mantras for wellbeing in all planes of our life.

Vivek Verma, is a Mantra practitioner since childhood, a singer and Vedic voice master from Mumbai, helps people overcome stress, burnout, and lack of focus through the transformative power of Vedic mantras and ancient sound practices.

It is possible to use timeless Vedic Sound to address modern mental and physical distress, soothe the mind and work on one's inner needs.

Vivek was born into a family deeply rooted in music; trained in Indian classical music by his father, a music lecturer at the faculty of music, University of Delhi, and later by Shri L. K. Pandit, he developed a strong foundation in the art of vocal music; and also shares it for the benefit of others who feel a connection with this path.

Vivek points out the importance of proper learning of pronunciations of mantras and minimal aspects of Sanskrit language. Being also a musician, he explains the strength and power of Indian music applied in Mantras.

It was a pleasure to interview him and gain so much insight from his experience and knowledge.

"Recently one of my students told me she was suffering from severe anxiety and I taught her a mantra, combined with a few meditation techniques, which I asked her to practice before sleeping at night. A mantra that connects you directly to God. Within a week, she felt that her anxiety was gone."

A great contribution from the hidden Voices of Mantra from India, cradle of this ancient powerful science.

India Provides Great Resources when Seeking for a Positive Upliftment

Season 1 · Episode 39

Wednesday, September 17, 2025 • Duration 53:36

Everything around us is vibration. Then, it is our choice to come in contact with higher quality of vibrations which can help and uplift our overall way of life.

From the very beginning of my childhood, I was around an atmosphere where spiritual dimension was already adopted in all the generations – from my great-grandmother to my youngest cousin living in the family. So, born and brought up in India, one is always surrounded by this culture of Sanatan Dharma (Hindu Dharma) – surrounded by these sounds of Mantras, Aartis, chanting, Kirtan, various ceremonies all the time happening in the family or community. If one is a little sensitive, one starts embracing it and enjoying it also.

Since always it was clear to me that I wanted to get involved with that kind of music which can uplift a person’s state of being, music which can uplift a person beyond the level of the mind. Because we already live at the level of the mind, so if thru the music one is only supported to the level of the mind, then there is no upliftment. So, this has always been my inspiration, and for that there’s no other better source of Sound than Mantra.

Divine energies are present all the time, but they are waiting for us to invoke them, to invite them, to access them – then they can help where it’s needed.

Where Medicine Cannot Reach, Sound May Reach

Season 1 · Episode 38

Tuesday, September 9, 2025 • Duration 22:55

We live in the world of vibration. Everything which exists around us is vibration, and those vibrations are affecting us - even when we can't perceive it, a particular vibration can affect a person's physiology and psychology.

Sound is vibration and we are surrounded by various different sounds - and knowingly or unknowingly they have a certain effect on us. Some sounds have a positive effect and some not so much. So it is the sound itself which is creating a positive, less positive, or negative effect on us. This is the principle behind Mantra science and how Mantra (= a certain sattvic sound) can go so much deeper in our system and help us at different levels.

Our cells are able to listen; then, if we subject our cells to a sound of a certain quality, definitely the cells' health will be enhanced, keeping the body/mind mechanism in tune.

Ayurveda is also connected to this aspect of Sound, as it is one of the first and only medical practices which went all the way down to the roots, as a lot of issues that appear in the body, have the roots in the mind. So ayurveda would treat the problem at the level of the mind, if the root was found there, and then consequently heal the physical plane. And one of the key tools used in Ayurveda is sound, because where the medicine cannot reach, the Sound can reach.

Authentic Voices Unleashed: Alok Verma, about Indian Music and its Expansion Worldwide

Episode 37

Thursday, August 21, 2025 • Duration 44:28

A clever, perceptive, inspiring conversation, for those interested in India and its performing arts: for Indian music lovers, for Tabla lovers, for classical music lovers and Bhakti music lovers, Alok Verma delivers a master talk about different aspects to consider in Indian music and how to connect to it with authenticity, respect, love, enjoyment, understanding.

Manish Vyas interviews Alok Verma about key aspects along the path of learning, presenting and developing Indian music. Below we share some of the most significative thoughts expressed by Alok during this talk:

"This musical journey begins but never ends: any step we take is a learning curve"

"My teacher (Guru) had shown so much love towards my playing, and so was my love for the teacher - that's when the Guru Shishya Parampara (Guru discipline tradition) started"

"I have my Indian Tabla classical roots which has been kept intact - and anywhere I play I incorporate those elements into the music: the grooves may change but in the end, the foundation and the authenticity of the material is kept intact"

"I have seen some musicians who took a couple of lessons and perform... I admire their confidence, but having a couple of lessons, these musicians have not even surfaced, have not even touched down the authenticity of what is required to learn from a Guru"

“A Raga has a feel, which is needed to deliver that Raga”

"Whether it's a bhajan, a folk song or a Bollywood song, if you compose something in raga Bhairavi and you have that foundation (of Indian classical music,) it's going to sound absolutely brilliant"

"You have to learn from the person who belongs to the country or place of the tradition"

"The student-teacher relationship as a silent-communication ("silent presence and observation") is a must"

"Kirtan cannot be taught, just like I cannot teach you how to feel sadness, because it's an emotion -- it can only be felt"

"There is a fine line between holding an instrument and really knowing how to play it"

I Still Remember my First Conversation with Osho...

Season 1 · Episode 36

Wednesday, May 28, 2025 • Duration 28:47

As a kid, it was like a very natural process to grow into the atmosphere of Osho. It's like, I did not know anything else except that. It was quite a commitment in some way but really, as a kid, I did not know anything else, it was just like growing up in this... and it was perfect. And slowly-slowly everybody in the family became Sannyasin, but everybody had their voluntary decision.

Whatever it is in my life, it is thanks to Osho basically.

Musically, with Osho, it was a very good place to experiment many things and how to use the beauty and depth of Indian music into creating something different, something which has a purpose, something which has a utility, not just entertainment - and Indian music has that capacity.

Osho's teachings and his blessings and his guidance - everything shaped this life, not only for me, but for many.

Kirtan is a very-very simple but very profound way of connecting with the divine. In Kirtan you dissolve, your ego dissolves. There is no “I”, there is only “Divinity.”

It's a little bit like you are a statue of salt, and what happens when you enter the ocean? You become the ocean.

What I saw in the West in the people singing mantras is that actual element of India was missing there. It is very clear that when somebody is trying to represent a certain cultural element from a certain place, it must carry its authenticity - it must carry its authentic flavour, sound, taste, fragrance... because behind that there is a long tradition and a history, and a lot of thought put behind it.

It is about preserving this fire which has been burning since thousands of years.

An interview about the documentary-film project "True World of Mantra"

Season 1 · Episode 35

Sunday, March 2, 2025 • Duration 20:05

"It is important to bring an understanding that Mantra is not just limited to a musical format which brings you to a 'nice space,' since this format does not release its full potential. Mantra is not only what makes you come into a nice space, but it is something which can also work practically on various dimensions of one's life."

"The documentary will open up on how much more Mantras have to give to people, provided that they have the right access to the information, proper understanding, proper guidance, proper practice."

Mantra Listening Meditation

Season 1 · Episode 33

Sunday, March 10, 2024 • Duration 19:29

The tradition of Mantra is Mantra-Chanting, what is known as Mantra Japa, and Manish explains how to use it in "listening-meditation," which can be a very powerful technique to soothe the mind, remain attentive and integrate the energy within.

Mostly, as we know, we live on the level of 'body and mind' and most of the energy goes into dealing with issues on these fields. So if Mantra is used in the right way, it has the capacity to take us beyond the physicality and the mental planes, to come in contact with the real being. Here is where the potential of 'mantra listening' comes in.

If we observe ourselves, we can see that our whole struggle in our outer life is to 'become something' and that is very, very exhausting. A meditation technique using Mantra can simply bring us into a space of "just-being" and that's the highest outcome of Mantra meditation technique, involving energy awakening, energy rising and energy settling.

Sufi Music, The Pulse of Love

Season 1 · Episode 32

Thursday, January 18, 2024 • Duration 20:11

Sufi music provides a space to experience closeness with divinity and love, and Sufis have always been inclined towards the musical expressions of their poetries.

A warmhearted talk, where Manish describes his latest album, Salaam E Sufi, explaining how the Sufi path has inspired the seven tracks on his new CD along many years on his musical journey as composer: "Sufi songs have this flavor of Love, Ishq Haqiqi: the love affair with the Truth."

Sufism is a path of love, devotion and surrender. And when surrender happens, one journey ends and another journey begins: a journey of total trust, peace and freedom.

Sufi mystics wrote some amazing poetries down the centuries and down the ages, where they expressed their longing for dissolving into nothingness (dissolving of the ego) and these songs in "Salaam E Sufi" reflect the ideas inspired by the Sufis in a musical interpretation. These Sufi poetries are drenched with this kind of love and longing for the Supreme, that which is eternal.

"The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart." Rumi

Music at the beginning and end of the podcast, from the album "Salaam E Sufi".

What Every Yoga Teacher Should Aim For

Season 1 · Episode 31

Sunday, June 4, 2023 • Duration 19:24

“The highest goal of a Yoga practitioner should be to come to a level where one is maintaining one’s balance perfectly all the time. Ups and downs are part of life, situations are never in our hands, but how to deal with them is in our hands.”

These are the words of Dr. Hansaji Yogendra, director of the Yoga Institute in Mumbai. She’s a mentor and role model to millions of lives and has conducted more than fifty thousand powerful sessions on yog, wellness and mental health.

We were fortunate enough to meet her in person whole working on the ongoing documentary project about Mantra. In this podcast, we present a talk where we discussed subjects related to Yoga and Mantra, and the aspects involved in both practices. We present here part of this short but powerful conversation, and the clear vision of a great wise referent who is highly experienced and is able to express the key aspects involved along the path of yoga, answering questions such as what should be the highest goal of a yoga practitioner.

Some quotes of Hansaji:

“Every yoga teacher should aim at having mastery over their minds.”

“What we are teaching, every human should learn, because it’s the foundation of life, on which then you build whatever you want to build; but the life formation has to be strong.”

“In the west, yoga has become very commercial, having as aim to earn money. Technology of yoga (asana, pranayama, etc.) has become very popular, but they are not yogis, because they are dealing only with their bodies.”

“For inner peace, for spirituality, the world is looking at India; people come to India due to soul-pain.”

“When the student is ready, the whole nature will help to move ahead in life.”

Short Reference: Hansa Yogendra (born 1947) is an Indian yoga guru, author, researcher and media personality. She is director of The Yoga Institute in Mumbai, founded by her father-in-law Shri Yogendra. It is a government recognized non-profit organization and the oldest organized yoga center in the world, founded in 1918. She was presenter of the television series Yoga for Better Living, aired in 1980s. She is the chair of the Yoga Certification Committee and President of the International Board of Yoga, and Vice President of the Indian Yoga Association.
