Biography
The Mantras’ music is a high-energy collaborative of funk-rock, electronica, metal, and fusion that will shake your knees and rattle your toes. Comprised of guitarist Keith Allen, drummer Justin Loew, keyboard player Justin W. Powell, bassist Brian Tyndall and percussionist Brent Vaughn; the band unified their musical vision in 2005 and has continued to hone their sonic direction and precision show by show. The Mantras continue to impress their peers and win over new fans at every turn with their instrumental prowess, solid lyrics, and unending drive to put on an amazing show every night!
Hailing from Greensboro, North Carolina, the band has been playing to ever-increasing sold out crowds in their home state during 2011, and are experiencing rapid growth into new markets throughout the South, Midwest and North East. In 2011 alone, The Mantras and their members have shared the stage in double-bills and direct support with Umphrey's McGee, Eoto, George Clinton and P-Funk, Kyle Hollingsworth Band, Papadosio, The Werks, Perpetual Groove, Zoogma, Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band, Count M'Butu, and many more.
The Mantras now have the ability to make HQ mutli-track recordings of their live shows available to the public. In 2011 The Mantras began compiling a large archive of HQ live recordings via their new mobile tracking unit, lovingly named R2. Sound engineer Matt Gordon set out to build this archive so that all Mantras Live recordings can be made available to the fans in early 2012. When launched fans will be able to purchase every show recorded by the band from Livedownloads.com. Copies of the night’s show are now available to fans in attendance and for now all recordings are being made available to the fans on the night for FREE.
The Mantras, together with Stanlee Ventures of the famous Camp Barefoot Music and Arts Festival, are proud to present MANTRABASH 2012 June 21st-23rd, at the breathtaking High Country Motorcycle Camp in Ferguson, NC. This festival will include 3 nights of The Mantras, two huge stages, and no overlapping sets! Other acts include Robert Walter Trio, Particle, The Werks, Brothers Past, Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band, Josh Phillips Folk Festival, and many others!

The Sun
The Mantras Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shine upon you
All Love surround you
And the pure light
Within you
Guide Your way on
the sky is blue
it´s beautiful
and so are you
The lyrics of The Mantras' song "The Sun" convey messages of positivity, love, and self-empowerment. The repetition of the phrase "May the long time sun shine upon you" suggests a desire for lasting happiness and positivity in one's life. It serves as a blessing or well-wish for the listener, hoping that they will be showered with the warm and nurturing energy of the sun.
The line "All Love surround you" further emphasizes the theme of love and compassion. It implies a wish that the listener is constantly surrounded by love from others, creating a supportive and harmonious environment. This line promotes the idea that love is an essential element for personal growth and happiness.
Moving onto the next verse, "And the pure light within you, guide your way on," the lyrics emphasize the importance of self-discovery and inner strength. Here, the songwriter encourages the listener to recognize the inherent light within themselves, symbolizing their unique abilities and potential. This pure light acts as a guiding force, helping them navigate through life's challenges and make choices that align with their true selves.
Finally, the lyrics "The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful, and so are you" bring attention to the beauty of the present moment and the listener's own worth. The songwriter acknowledges the natural beauty that surrounds us through imagery of a sunny sky, inspiring a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the world around us. Additionally, these words serve as a gentle reminder that each listener holds their own unique beauty and worth, encouraging them to embrace their individuality and value.
Overall, "The Sun" by The Mantras offers uplifting and empowering lyrics that promote love, self-discovery, and appreciation for the beauty in life. It encourages listeners to connect with the positive energy of the sun, bask in the love surrounding them, trust their inner light, and acknowledge their own inherent beauty.

WORD TO WORD MEANING (Translation from Sanskrit to English):
"Om Japaakusuma Sankaasham
Kaashyapeyam Mahaadhyuthim
Thamorim Sarvapaapaghnam
Pranathosmi Dhivaakaram"
Japaakusuma = the hibiscus flower
Sankaasham = resembling
Kaashyapeyam = son of sage Kashyap
Mahaadhyuthim = one with immense brightness/brilliance
Thamorim = enemy of darkness (lethargy, inertia, sadness etc)
Sarvapaapaghnam = destroyer of all sins
Pranathosmi = I bow
Dhivaakaram = another Vedic name of Sun (maker of day / giver of daylight)
So put together, here is my approximate translation:
OM, I humbly bow and salute Him whose color resembles the pollen grains of the hibiscus flower, the brilliantly shining son of Sage Kashyap, who is the destroyer of all evil darkness, ignorance and sins, Sun the life and daylight giver.
=============================================
“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter … to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring—these are some of the rewards of the simple life."
Raagini Vishnubhotla
Lyrics:
Om Japa Kusuma Sankaasham
Kaashya Peyam Mahaa Dyutim |
Tamorim Sarva Papaghnam
Pranathosmi Divakaram ||
Meaning:
Oh Divine One, who is as magnificent as the Hibiscus flower
To you, the blessed son of Kashyapa, how powerfully radiant.
To you, the fierce enemy of darkness, and the One who washes away all sins,
To your brilliant infinite light, I humbly bow.
