​
This album is the 3rd in the line of the Classic Naam series. Naam ascending is dedicated to the music the ascending 7 note scale. The seven note scale includes all seven tones plus the repetition of the first (tonic) tone an octave higher. Naam Ascending features 7 fully produced tracks, 6 of which are meditations on the scale.
The ascending nature of the major scale brings renewed vitality, a harmonization of energies and a natural resolution of duality and disharmony. The 7 notes of the scale represents the 7 plants, the 7 colors, the 7 chakras, the 7 archangels and even the 7 great beings that sit before the throne of God. 7 is a mighty number.
By combining Naam Meditation with the 7 note scale the efficacy of the mediation is increased dramatically.
A POSITIVE WORD OF WARNING:
The mantras on this album bring energy and vitality, amplified by the rhythms and increased by the ascending scale. Because of the way they are recorded they permeate the psyche of the listener/practitioner very easily. Practicing a track or even listening too many times in a day may make it difficult to sleep. The mantra may stay in your head. We recommend taking it easy, and not practicing or listening more than once a day.
NAAM ASCENDING

To Be Released on May 2, 2025
TRACK 1: Gobinday Ascending
​
Words:
Gobinday, Mukhanday, Udaaray, Apaaray,
Hariang, Kariang, Nirnaamay, Akaamay
This track uses the gurmukhi mantra Gobinday, Mukanday, Udaaray, Apaaray, Hariang, Kariang, Nirnamay, Akamay. Known as the Guru Gaitri Mantra, this 8 word mantra (Ashtang) names the 8 aspects of the Divine and is taken directly from the extastatic and brilliant poetry of Jaap Sahib by Guru Gobinday Singh, the last of the 10 famous Sikh Gurus. Unknown to most Jaap Sahib is a brilliant word play of rhythm and poetry. It is a masterpiece. And all of that masterpiece, the power, the effect, the mastery can be distilled down to its seeds: The Guru Gaitri Mantra.
To the best of our knowledge this is the only recording of this mantra that is put to the 8 note scale, which amplifies its power and is an eloquent and elegant solution for its beauty and effect? Why? Each person has an individual tone that when chanted unlocks the keys to blessings for them. While most people don’t know and will never know that key, By chanting this manta up the 8 tone scale, one is guaranteed to unlock that personal access key, helping them access higher consciousness. When combined with the Guru Gaitri Mantra, which burns karma, one can open the door for the accelerated dissolution of their karmic burden.
TRACK 2: Aum Ascending
Aum Ascending uses the 7 note scale combined with the Mantra Aum. Aum, which stimulates the pineal gland to perceive light. Thos who chant Aum shall perceive the light of the Divine within and feel the connection and wonder with the Divine. This sacred and timeless kabbalistic formula contains connections to the three worlds, the creation of the universe and the Divine Trinity contained in every sacred religion and spiritual practice. It is a key that heals and uplifts.
This track contains 3 sections. A basic melody with classical musical accompaniment , variations on that melody and finally the revisitation of that melody in modern electronic music form. This piece should be enough to end any debate that modern electronic music and techno is any different than classical music. If you love one, you can find it in the other.
TRACK 3: Ramei Rama Ascending Long 11x (5 Mins)
Words: Aung Rama Ramei Rama Zo Zo Rama Ramei Rama.
This is the first version of the mantra I learned, as taught by Dr. Joseph Michael Levry in Germany in 2015 or 2016. The recording here uses a “triplet” meter within the traditional 4/4 meter to create grace, flow and make the mantra work in a certain way. This is a very unusual way to practice Mantra, and brings the benefits of Jupiter into the mantra. With Jupiter and Saturn balanced, healing and renewal are sure to come next.
This version requires one to use their full breath support to get through a complete round up the scale, as it has 36 words for a full ascending repetition.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For a complete version of this recording please see the single Ramei Rama by Chris Merrill
TRACK 4: Har Har I am a Manifestation
Words: Har Har, I am a manifestation of infinite Truth, which frees me from all Karma now, Wahe Guru!
This track was inspired in 2018 by a phrase I overheard in the album Divine Mind by Dr. Levry. The line was “I am a manifestation of infinite truth which frees me from all karma.” As soon as I heard this mantra I understood the its power and this mantra was unlocked within minutes.
There is nothing that can bring change like truth. It is truth that sets us free. By aligning one’s self with Truth, by understanding the wisdom and speaking with love, the results is freedom from the bondage of our mind, our senses and our past traumas and karma. On top of that the mantra as its recorded (how it came to me) uses affirmation technology to guarantee you are creating a new reality to manifest, freeing you from the old. While the recording seems happy and light (deliberately), this mantra can liberate you from any problem, from any challenge. It is not one to take lightly :-)
This is an affirmation track that one can use in various ways. Below is a list of ways you can use this track.
#1. Long Deep Breathing
#2. You can do Segmented Breath + Chanting
#3. Square Breath
#4. 1 Minute breath /3 Part Breath
#5. Passive Listening when going through challenges.

Words:
Hari Om, Hari Om, Hari, Hari Hari Om
Hari Om, Hari Om, Hari, Hari Om
This mantra is a mantra of sustenance and mitigation of circumstances. It helps you get out of problem situations and into good circumstances. It is a mantra of blessing, brings wealth and can be used in many ways. This is the only known ascending scale version of the mantra that I know of.
