Samsara

What is more important? Satisfying one thousand desires or conquering just one? Samsara has the answer...

"Samsara is a beautiful, moving soundtrack that deserves thoughtful attention and appreciation."
- New Age Retailer magazine

Rasa Music exists to explore that magical place where sensuality, spirituality and style converge. The label dares you to think and live differently and embrace a new paradigm where one's inner Buddha can chillout, do yoga and continue to work, play and flourish.

A spiritual love-story set in the majestic landscape of Ladakh in the Himalayas, India. "Samsara" in Sanskrit translates as "the world within" or, as the Buddha says, "the cycle of life, delusion and suffering which all sentient beings are part of."

Originally the soundtrack to Pan Nalin's film, 'Samsara' is the story of Tashi, the Buddhist monk's quest and journey toward self-knowledge. 'Samsara' echoes the struggle of every person to find spiritual enlightenment.

French composer Cyril Morin has produced an extraordinary, soothing sonic journey that includes the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra, chants from the Lamas and Nuns of Ladakh, Tibetan bowls, Bansuri, Indian flute, Duduk, Ney, Sarangi, Lyre, Mongolian and Tibetan violins, guitar, sanza and more. The palette of sounds of these instruments and haunting vibrations have a mesmerizing and powerful effect that speak of the profound spiritual quest and longing that exists in all of us, on our own paths.

"The soft, Asian-themed pieces provide a quiet atmosphere that can be easily enjoyed apart from the film, especially within the context of healing and meditation practices."
