Mantra - Sounds into Silence[1][2][3][4][5] is a film exploring the musical and social phenomenon of chant and response meditation directed by Georgia Wyss.

Overview

[edit]

This film was produced from an original idea[6][7] by its director Georgia Wyss, the editor of the award-winning Peak oil awareness film A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash. In 2004, she began to develop her ideas on how to make a film recognising the importance of the practice of chanting mantras as a means of healing, a practice which she felt could benefit the lives of many. It features interviews and music by Deva Premal & Miten with Manose, Krishna Das, Snatam Kaur, Lama Gyurme & Jean-Philippe Rykiel, Jai Uttal,[8] MC Yogi, C.C. White, Mirabai Ceiba, Gaura Vani, Nina Rao and Charlie Braun.
