Prolific & Versatile Singer Lalitya Munshaw paid a tribute to all the Gurus by presenting her latest spiritual album ?Guru Om? (comprising of Shlokas, Mantras and Dhuns on GURU with Lyrics) to Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji. Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji then formally released the album ?Guru Om? in presence of the members of the fourth estate. On this occasion Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji averred, ?This devotional album is an apt gift for all the Gurus, Teachers & Students as well as all the music lovers on the eve of the forthcoming Guru Purnima festival. I give all my heartfelt blessings to my favorite disciple Singer Lalitya Munshaw for her adorable gift of this spiritual album ?Guru Om?.?

On 15th July, on the eve of Guru Purnima Festival, Pujya Swami Adhyatmanand will also release ?Guru Om? in Sivananda Ashram in Ahmedabad after which Singer Lalitya Munshaw will give a brief performance from ?Guru Om?.

Singer Lalitya Munshaw opined at this juncture ?To light a candle, we need a lit candle. Gurus are like guides of mankind, who leads us to the path of spiritualism which takes us beyond pain, sorrow and this phenomenal existence, into a realm of perennial felicity, infinite bliss and immortal life. Gurus awaken the dormant spiritual consciousness of the individual and take them towards realization of the eternal union with divinity and the universal Spirit. The musical initiation of Shlokas, Mantras and Dhuns has been used through the ages to connect the disciple to the Divine. The underlying power of divine music becomes visible through its repetition. The continuous chanting and singing of spiritual music transforms the very life of the aspirant, transforms a non - qualified person into a qualified person, the impure into the pure, and a sinner into a sage. The Guru - Disciple relationship is a unique tradition. It is the link that connects man with God. The indescribable & unknowable spiritual journey and the destination can be best treaded and attained with the guidance and help of the GURU. This is the sole reason for my bringing out the album ?Guru Om? and I hope that it is liked by one and all. If so, then I shall feel that my spiritual mission has been accomplished.?
