Guru Stotram

The Guru Stotram is a 14-verse excerpt from a sacred text known as the Guru Gita (which comes from a larger scripture called the Skanda Purana). The word "guru" has many translations. One is "remover of darkness"; another is “heavy” - because a guru is "heavy" with wisdom. And while a guru may take the form of a body, it's far more than that. Ultimately, the guru is a principle. It's the mystery of existence—the awareness that looks out through our eyes. It's the silent presence in our heart, and the inner light that calls us home. This beautiful chant is a prayer to the Guru—the one who takes us from darkness to light. This piece can be used as a meditation, or for relaxation and deep rest. Let the vibrations of the chant and the soothing flute sounds (played by bansuri master Steve Gorn) settle your mind and awaken the teacher within.

Chants for addressing darkness are so needed. Deeply appreciate this track to do shadow work

It’s not her I was searching for—it was the sound. That chant, that flute, that ancient thread that winds through my chest and hums like memory. I didn’t know her name. I didn’t need to. What I felt was beyond names—a resonance, a recognition.

When the app changed and my bookmarks vanished, I panicked—not because I lost a person, but because I lost a piece of myself. But the sound lingered within me, a quiet thread I never lost—
and I found my way back.

Now that I know her name, I can look to see if there’s more she’s created that resonates—with my heart, with the presence behind the sound. So to her—thank you. For creating something that speaks to a part of me I didn’t know was listening.
