Song Synopsis
This ancient mantra is known as the Great Victory Over Fear and Death.
It invites us to release what binds us — not by fighting it, but by surrendering into something larger.
Chanted softly or aloud, it creates a sonic sanctuary where fear cannot live.
The mantra reminds us that we are more than our temporary experiences.
Just as a ripe cucumber gently separates from the vine with a small twist and pull, we too can release the grip of suffering and return to the sweetness of our essence.
This is the practice of Īśvara Praṇidhāna — surrendering into the divine flow and remembering:
Not me. Not mine. I am not this fear.
Use it to calm the nervous system, to transmute anxiety into reverence, and to remember your immortal nature — whole, radiant, and free.

Backstory and Info
We bow to the three-eyed one — the inner light of awareness —whose fragrance nourishes and restores life.
May we be released from the grip of fear and attachment, as the ripe fruit naturally separates from the vine, and rest in the nectar of immortality — the unshaken Self.
