The term Various Artists is used in the record industry when numerous singers and musicians collaborate on a song or collection of songs. Most often on Last.fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.
Compilation albums, for example.
Sometimes, single releases may be credited to Various Artists when their profits are going to charity and, usually in high-profile cases, are sometimes known by a group name. Examples include Band Aid with their releases of Do They Know It's Christmas? and USA for Africa with We Are The World.
Various Artists is also an actual performance name for Torsten Pröfrock, who runs the German DIN label. Torsten performs also as Dynamo, Erosion, Resilent, Traktor besides some others. He's a good friend of Robert Henke and since the Fall of 2004, he is a member of Monolake.
Various Artists was also a short-lived Bristol punk band formed by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key (originally from Birmingham). Other members were also simultaneously in Art Objects who went on to become The Blue Aeroplanes, the latter the Key brothers also co-wrote some songs and were involved in. When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.
Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.

गुरूर्साक्षात परब्रह्म तस्मै श्री गुरवे नमः ।।
गुरूर्ब्रह्मा गुरूर्विष्णुः गुरूर्देवो महेश्वरः ।
गुरूर्साक्षात परब्रह्म तस्मै श्री गुरवे नमः ।।
गुरूर्ब्रह्मा गुरूर्विष्णुः गुरूर्देवो महेश्वरः ।
गुरूर्साक्षात परब्रह्म तस्मै श्री गुरवे नमः ।।
तस्मै श्री गुरवे नमः ।।
The above lyrics are from the song "Mantra" by Various Artists. This mantra is a tribute to the Guru, a revered figure in Hinduism who is considered the guide and teacher on the path of spiritual enlightenment. The lyrics repeat the phrase "Gurur Brahma Gurur Vishnu, Gurur Devo Maheshvaraha" which translates to "The Guru is Brahma, the Guru is Vishnu, the Guru is Maheshvara (Shiva)".
The repetition of these lines in the song emphasizes the importance of the Guru in the journey of self-realization. The Guru is seen as the embodiment of the divine trinity: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. This suggests that the Guru possesses the qualities and wisdom of these deities and is thus capable of leading individuals towards discovering their own divinity.
The next line "Gurur Sakshat Para Brahma Tasmai Shri Guruve Namah" translates to "The Guru is the Supreme Reality, I bow to that Guru." This line acknowledges that the Guru is not just a human being but a manifestation of the ultimate truth, the Supreme Consciousness. It expresses reverence and gratitude to the Guru for guiding and enlightening the seeker.
The repeated chanting of these verses in the song creates a meditative and devotional atmosphere. By chanting and paying homage to the Guru, the listener is encouraged to develop a deep connection with their own spiritual teacher and the divine wisdom they offer. The mantra acts as a reminder to honor and respect the Guru, who plays a crucial role in the spiritual journey of the seeker.
Overall, the lyrics of "Mantra" celebrate the significance of the Guru and acknowledge their role as a guiding force in the search for enlightenment. They convey a sense of devotion, surrender, and gratitude towards the Guru, emphasizing the importance of seeking their guidance to attain spiritual growth and realization.
