Om choir - The voice that chants to the creator Fire, the symbolized OM, the great assenting Word. Narad experienced in 1961 that the Mother gave the adesh to bring down a new music. She said that one must go far above words and bring down the pure Music. Mother told us to sit in a circle and have no preconceptions as to what we would sing but to be silent and let the music descend in us.
