Mantra Sounds into Silence

Mantra: Sounds into Silence is an eye-opening documentary that explores the growing musical and social phenomenon of chanting, and shares the stories of people who are finding healing and a sense of inner peace by singing mantras together. Its a film about spirituality not religion, about people reconnecting with their true selves and with others. Mantra shows that chanting can have beneficial effects on the brain and in turn, on practitioners well-being. As the stories from people from all walks of life and from all over the world unfold, we meet the musicians who have inspired them and brought them together. Through these encounters, we will discover how the artists themselves came to this music and to the practice of Kirtan, and how, over the years, it transformed their lives too.
