Isha Chants
Vairagya
Vairagya consists of five chants, each with its own unique hue.
First, the Nirvana Shatakam is an outstanding composition by Adi Shankara, embodying the essence of vairagya. This chant is regarded as synonymous with the path of brahmacharya.
The Guru Paduka Stotram is a devotional tribute in gratitude and praise of the sandals of the Guru.
Brahmananda Swarupa (“the image of the Creator’s ecstasy”) is a consecrated mantra which one can chant throughout the day to connect to Sadhguru’s energy and Grace.
Aum Namah Shivaya, known as the “Maha Mantra” is a very powerful arrangement of sounds which forms an integral part of a Brahmachari’s sadhana. It is also the highlight of the Mahashivratri meditations at Isha Yoga Center.
Shambho (“the auspicious one”) is a very gentle and beautiful manifestation of Shiva who readily responds to those who call upon Him.
A series of posts that explain the significance of these chants are available in the Isha Blog:

Making Use of Vairagya
Here are Sadhguru’s guidelines on finding which of the 5 Vairagya chants will suit you best.
Listen to each of the mantras a few times. Don't try to like or dislike them in terms of their musical quality or whatever – just listen to them. When you feel one of them really draws you, keep that mantra going all the time – at home, in your car, on your phone – everywhere. After some time, it will become so much a part of your system and will set a certain ambience for you.
These sounds should become like your breath. After some time, without even listening you will be reverberating with the chant. It'll do wonderful things to you.
Sadhguru
Ye Devi
These sublimely powerful chants were especially selected by Sadhguru, and adapted by Sounds of Isha, to be played at the consecration of Linga Bhairavi. Ethereal vocals, resounding with the stark intensity of the mantras, and subtle soundscapes of traditional instruments evoke a warmly serene, meditative ambience. A mystical space to connect and resound with the creative and nurturing aspects of the universe.
Linga Bhairavi is the most exuberant expression of the Divine Feminine, unique in her manifestation in the form of a linga. Her triangular-shaped abode is adjacent to the Isha Yoga Center. Powerful, earthy and humane, Linga Bhairavi is the ultimate manifestation of the Mother Goddess – all-powerful and all-encompassing.
Linga Bhairavi Arati
This collection brings three powerful Sanskrit mantras sung by Sadhguru for the Devi.
1. Linga Bhairavi Arati – An appeal for Devi’s Grace and an offering of oneself.
2. Linga Bhairavi Stuti – The 33 auspicious names of the Devi are a key to imbibing Her form.
3. Linga Bhairavi Stuti with Chorus – In this version, you can learn the Stuti by repeating after Sadhguru.
4. Linga Bhairavi Mantra (“Lum Vum”) – Devi is a manifestation of the three-and-a-half chakras in the human system which correlate to one’s health, wellbeing, stability and prosperity.
Consecrated by Sadhguru, these devotional chants describe the manifold qualities of the Devi.
She is the one who is Mother to all, who protects her devotees, who is beyond fear, who is the giver of ecstasy and who grants ultimate liberation.

Superb app to play great chants for long durations. Doesn't need window open like YouTube. Am so happy to have discovered it. It's becoming my go-to place when I decide to play some music...
Simply superb. Easily, one of the best app in playstore. It is very easy to navigate the app, but the amount of effort they have put in each song, is truly marvelous. Huge thanks and gratitude for all the people who have poured their love into creating these songs and the app.
i am very thankful to isha foundation music team and sadhguru. being a nonfollower of sadhguru then too the app changed my way of life. i hear the music all the time everywhere were it's possible. universe's best music app. sadhguru changed way of my living through the app. if any wants to be tension free,want to feel exuberant please please download the app. You will never find a better way to meditate like this app. It's fully offline and easy to use don't miss the chance to be a shivanga.
Very useful app. Just one thing. It would help to have a permanent notification while this app is running so that we can quickly go to this app to stop it when we have to. I think it used to be there in some older version long ago. But it's not there in the current version.
Very grateful for this app. I meditate listening to some of the chants. Some feedback: There's an issue with the timer. For the Yogeshwaraya chant, if I set the timer for 5, it runs for 10+minutes. It works for the Bhairavi stuti though. Also can you provide a functionality to set the number of cycles for the chant. For example if I set 12 for the Yogeshwaraya chant, it'll stop playing automatically after 12 cycles of the chant. This will help people who meditate using the chants.
The app content and everything is amazing. But the problem is the chanting would stop abruptly. Kindly solve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you for the app.
Namaskaram, Thank you for adding new chants. Hope to find more in the coming days. If you could make the songs come one after the other, that would help me while driving. Repetation in that case may be kept as an option. If the lyrics are made available, an as option, it will help me to learn the chants better. Pranam.
Just one more thing. The option of a particular song getting repeated is already there, so why don't you make it like this that when one song is over automatically next will play. Thanks!
Chants are wonderful. If theses feautures provided app will be even user friendly, there is no option for pause, forward, backword the audio play. If chants are displayed it will be even more helpful.
Great app and collection of mantras. Also if written mantra are also visible on screen it would be more convenient. Please see if this can be added. Rest is all good
It lists out all the chants for different purposes at one place in an easy to use and highly functional interface. It also gives Sadhguru's insights on how to use the Vairagya Chants which is a simple and yet powerful way towards our ultimate well-being.
Never bored of any of the chants. Awesome with its sound. One thing would make it a bit more convenient if the timer works for number of cycles of mantras. Thank you.
The best thing is, the chants keep running in the background, even when you back off from the app, or lock your screen. We can manually start and stop the chants, which makes it very easy for me. Thank you thank you thank you!
App runs in the background even when closed. Chants keep playing even when the app is closed from the background apps section. Please check it and make required correction.
Please add a pause button to resume too and to stop playing from the notification section. No notification section arrives when the app is playing in the background. Please do add the kabir songs as well.
In some songs, the audio quality is noticeably less. The sound quality is better on YouTube.
The chants are awesome but the song goes on speaker when the earphones are unplugged....it would be great to have a auto pause when unplugged from the phone.
Indescribable gratitude to Isha. There is some problem with the timer as it is not working. Song does not stop at the scheduled time and keeps on repeating.. especially Lum Vum chant, It would be great if someone resolves this. Thanks and regards
App is working properly, no complaints. Just one update request is that add lyrics with its meaning. Because we are chanting without knowing its meaning. Only chanting isn't important, but meaning and implementing it in life is infinitely most important.
Best app for meditation. Simultaneously from these chants i am learning the sanskrit slokas and Mantras. I would say the best app for self discovery.
Wish the MB's took up less phone memory, could have been compressed like in cloud form. Even the battery is used up soon. Thank you so much for the heartful App!
Thank you to isha. I never close this app a day. really helping me to save my battery because I can't close the screen in YouTube version. A week now feel more vibrant with all the mantras.
Please include manual auto-repeat control for songs. We'll never know when song ends and when it's again starting.
Great app 2 problems seen App doesn't pause music when switching from. Earphone to speaker and vice versa Once music is played in loop, even if you cancel app out (close all windows) music plays, only way to stop music is stop button
