Listen to the latest release from the musical phenomenon Antarma, ‘You Are Loved’’, calling on everyone to remember that “You are Loved” and “You are Enough”.
The song is a calming message for anyone’s journey that holds grief and pain; as Antarma explains, “It was written for a very dear family member who was going through a very tough time and feeling unloved.”
Thanks to her, it is now dedicated to everyone to be able to feel comfort and relief from this message “You are Loved and You are Enough” especially when going through difficulties and dark moments.
When listening to the song, it is an opportunity for us to take the names of those we want to send love to – those who have passed on, those still with us, and ourselves as well.
In Antarma’s words, “You are Loved is dedicated to anyone going through tough times, struggling with mental health, emotional health, feeling suicidal, grieving the loss of loved ones and grieving any difficulties and traumas. It is also dedicated to all our loved ones who are no longer with us physically so we can still say from our hearts that they are loved. Even if we may feel that we didn’t make them feel loved when they were with us, it’s a chance to send that love to them wherever they are now. We also send love to the parts of ourselves, to our inner child, who feels unloved, unsupported and isolated. You are loved and you are enough. If everyone truly felt loved then all the greed, corruption, abuse of people and the planet would not happen.”
The song was recorded in Chennai, India at Unique Studios. Initial mix and engineering by Vykunth and Ramji Soma who works with the greats in Indian music and film including the legendary AR Rahman. Featuring Violin by Kumar Raghunathan. Final Mix and Mastering finished by Niraj Chag and Antarma.
Growing up in London, Antarma’s influences and collaborations are truly multicultural – from Ancient Sanskrit Mantras of the Sanatan Dharma Indian Tradition as well as the Amazonian, Sufi and African Brazilian Sacred Traditions. He took these teachings into his music, honed skills as a rapper and percussionist, then made his name busking on the London streets, immersing hundreds with a single drum and vocal.
Antarma took this same vibrancy into powerful events that fuse meditation, chanting, song and dance into a fully interactive journey, bringing audiences into deep connection and ecstatic joy – an experience to celebrate life’s ups and downs. Whether playing solo for thousands at festivals or intimate groups at retreats / events, his upbeat Djembe Drumming can make any crowd go wild and come together in joyful celebration!
Often you will find him dancing among the crowd and getting everyone involved. Antarma aims to be an instrument to spread joy and peace thanks to the Blessings of his Shri Guru Mata Vijnanamba Paramahamsa Parivrajika of Devipuram Sampradaya, Shree Maa and Swamiji of Devimandir, Mata Amritananda Mayi Amma, and Babaji Jaswansingh.
He offers a full spectrum of Deeply Relaxing Mantras Slokas, guided meditations and specially adapted English mantra translations, which make the meaning of the ancient slokas of Sanatan Dharma feel relevant to the minds and hearts of today.
All the music mantras and practices Antarma shares are intended to bring the highest and deepest Peace.
Honouring and giving Gratitude to the Sacred Traditions and for life Herself!
‘You Are Loved’ is out now.
