Navras
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Navras is a mantra found in the Hindu sacred text the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad, section I.iii.28. A rather popular mantra in sectarian and non-sectarian Hinduism, it has in recent years been used by several Western artists for use in soundtracks. Most notable are Don Davis for The Matrix, and Bear McCreary for several uses in Battlestar Galactica.[citation needed]
asato ma sad gamaya
tamaso ma jyotir gamaya
mrutyor ma amritam gamaya
From ignorance lead me to truth
From darkness lead me to light
From death lead me to immortality— Brhadaranyaka Upanisad, I.iii.28, [1]
