Sacred Rainbow Nation Songs of Light, Peace and Love · Core 100
The Asato Ma mantra from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad — “lead us from the unreal to the real, from darkness into light, from death to immortality” — sung in circles with the Sanskrit and the English verse woven together. The songbooks print it from Rainbow Caravan to the Canciones, and the melody here follows the dedicated gathering recording in Mettaben's Rainbow Chant Collection (CC BY-NC-SA).
