Mantra Cafe 12/23/15

Welcome to the first episode of "Mantra Cafe", recorded at my weekly mantra offering at The Recovery Cafe in Seattle, Washington. As this is the first episode it's just a little rough around the edges and I look forward to refining and fine tuning as my learning curve progresses.

This week we are exploring two mantras: the Deepa Jyotir Stotram (the verses to the Light of the Lamp) and the Ya Devi Stotram, a mantra to the Divine Mother, in celebration of the Winter Solstice and our Earth at the epihelion of her orbit around our Sun.

If there are comments you'd like to offer or even additional information or corrections I would be delighted if you would post them!

I hope you enjoy!
