Mantra beat single, "Love Holds Everything", released as New Year Tribute to the Buddha

Dec. 29, 2010 - PRLog -- Love Holds Everything is the first of Ragani’s forthcoming mantra beat collection, and is released as a tribute to and celebration of the Buddha. The lyrics feature the words of the Buddha to his monks as he was preparing to leave the body, instructing them to live: "bahu jana sukhaya, bahu jana hitaya” (“for the bliss of the many, for the welfare of the many”). Sunandanaya suggests that we consider “delightful wise conduct” in our lives, as our offering to the greater humanity. The vocals feature Ragani’s world-class leads and textures, with layers of tasty ear candies. The song also features the Saz, a Middle Eastern stringed musical instrument, as recorded by Shriek Music Productions in London, U.K.

Love Holds Everything hit #24 in US iTunes World Music Charts is its first week of release, and it hit #3 in Top World Songs and #4 in Top Vocal Songs on CDBaby, the largest online distributor of independent music.
