Unveiling the Divine Symphony: Weaving Myth into Modernity
Sangita Lakhanpal’s practice is a unique form of artistry which gives voice to universal wisdoms through the language of myth and mantra music.
Sangita takes us on a compelling journey, between the British Isles of her birth, and the sacred mother India of her heritage.
Guided by ancient story-telling traditions, she weaves the mysteries of Vedic myth with the colours of western modernity. The resulting work re-visions these tales, so that they might continue to sing to our times.
Sangita uses the medium of song to convey these timeless truths. Inspired by the resonant language of Sanskrit, she works with the transcendent power of this Indo-European tongue to unfurl the rhythms and melodies of the sacred mantras.
Her work reinterprets the poetic verses which have been uttered from lips since ancient times inspiring ecstatic rapture. These sounds have resonated across the ages.
These mantras become a celestial symphony, orchestrating sounds that harmonise the spirit with the very essence of existence. A mantra like "Sat cid ananda" resonates with the universal truth that consciousness itself embodies boundless bliss.
Sangita composes each work in close relation to nature, inspired by her time spent living in the wild and sacred lands of India and Britain. Within each song is a call and response to the life force that animates the world. Through attuning to nature, we awaken her melodies and rekindle that ardent love affair with Mother Earth.
“If you make love with the divine now, in the next life you will have the face of satisfied desire.
So plunge into the truth, find out who the teacher is, believe in the Great Sound!
Kabir says this: When the Guest is being searched for, it is the intensity of the longing for the Guest that does all the work.
Look at me, and you will see a slave of that intensity.”
Kabir, mystic poet, 14th century, India
