The Devis and Devatas (goddesses and deities) of Hinduism only represent the different functions and powers of the one Supreme God. The deities are shown as male and female because the existence of the manifested universe depends upon the primary differentiation of the Supreme Reality into two opposite aspects. one positive and the other negative. This is the secret behind Lord Krishna's assertion in the Bhagavad Gita that prayers addressed to all gods reach only the Supreme Being. In this album 'Mantras of Gods and Goddesses' we first address our prayers to Ganapati the elephant- faced lord of good beginnings. When we begin our endeavours with his blessings they are bound to be successful. Adoration of Ganapati brings victory wealth and yogic realization. The Lakshmi Ashtottaram and Ashtalakshmi Stotram bring the positive vibrations of Lakshmi the goddess of wealth auspiciousness and compassion. Authentic versions of Subramanya Gayatri (removal of bad effects of Mars). Dhanvantri Gayatri (freedom from diseases of every kind) and Hanuman Gayatri (intellectual might strength courage) follow. The prayer to the twelve jyoti lingas (aspects of light) of Shiva and chanting of Om Arunachaleswaraya Namaha is another aspect of this important album.
