The Aleph releases LOVE IS RISING SINGLE: 'Gayatri Mantra'

"Gayatri Mantra" 

The Gayatri Mantra marks the second official release for the LOVE IS RISING project.

It features vocalist Calm Intuition, originally from Venezuela and now living in Spain, Sascha Kid from Switzerland on Cello, and J•C. Produced by The Aleph, this track represents an eclectic mix of world music, electronic elements, and traditional Mantra.

The Gayatri Mantra is associated with new beginnings and the concept of sunrise metaphorically. The mantra is dedicated to the Sun deity, Savitr, who represents the source of life, energy, and enlightenment. Just as the sunrise marks the beginning of a new day, chanting the Gayatri Mantra symbolizes the awakening of one's inner self, seeking spiritual illumination, and embracing fresh starts, renewal, and the awakening of consciousness. It is often recited at dawn, connecting its symbolism with the rising sun and the start of a new day to invoke clarity, positivity, and divine guidance for a fresh beginning. 

A heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped bring this project to reality: Karen (Venezuela), who lends her voice & Sascha Kid, for adding his Cello-Magic; long-time collaborator Matty Harris, for mastering the track; and to the many others who supported us along the way.

This marks the second official single release by The Aleph, part of a series of collaborative songs dedicated to the cause. A new song will be released each month. #loveisrising
