Originally from the Kali-Santaraṇa Upaniṣad, this mantra was popularized Chaitanya Mahaprabhu as part of the Bhakti movement he led ~1500 CE. The Mahā Mantra entered the West in the mid-1960s when Abhay Charanaravinda Bhaktivedanta Swami, often referred to as Srila Prabhupada, traveled from India around the world to share Chaitanya's teachings.

Heart Centered Kirtan's interpretation of the popular Peace Prayer (aka Lord Make Me An Instrument of Thy Peace) from the Christian tradition. Often associated with the Italian Saint Francis of Assisi, the text is entirely absent from his writings, but the second half of the prayer is very similar to a text by Giles of Assisi, one of St. Francis’ original companions. While the complete prayer in its present form has not been traced back further than 1912, we feel that the sentiments expressed throughout it are both timely and timeless.
A rousing collection of Sanskrit mantras invoking the Divine Masculine.
