Dedication

This collection of chants is a labor of love in honor my Guru, Sri Swami Satchidananda, on the auspicious occasion of his 100th birth anniversary on December 22nd 2014. Some of the chants chosen are original and some are rearranged from traditional chants to honor Sri Gurudev. I offer this recording with deepest gratitude, love, and humility at the feet of my beloved spiritual master.
~Reverend Manjula Spears, Satchidananda Mission, Athens, Georgia
