Tell Us About:

Your favourite lyric in this new song: 

The entire lyric of the mantra “Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha” is very short and powerful. If I had to choose my favourite part, it would be “Ture Soha.”

Ture represents liberation from all forms of suffering — physical, mental, and emotional — and Soha means “may this come true.” There is so much healing needed in this world, and if we can access this power within through mantra, it becomes a true blessing and a real path to healing.

Your favourite song that you have created that is an album track:

This is such a hard question — probably for every artist. After recording each song, I thought this is my favourite. But once the album was complete, I realised how different each mantra is and how uniquely each one affects the listener.

All seven mantras became favourites for different purposes: healing, compassion, courage, transformation, awakening. There were days when I listened to “Teyata Om Bekanze” on repeat, and other days when “Lokah Samastah” stayed with me from morning to night.

If I truly had to choose one, it would be “Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu.”

It is a powerful and beautiful prayer for peace and freedom, and recording it was deeply transformational for me.

The track that was the longest to write and why?

The longest to compose was “Lokah Samastah.”
I wanted to create something soft, flowing, and emotional, while allowing silence to remain deeply present in the sound.

The original track is about 11 minutes long. At the end, there is a spoken passage that didn’t make it into the edited release:

“May this sound take you into silence, and may silence become this sound.
So you can come in and out of silence as you wish.
May the sound of you be here.”

The intention from the beginning was to bring calm and spaciousness into the heart through sound. This track also weaves together the Sanskrit mantra, its English translation, the Hawaiian prayer Hoʻoponopono (“I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you”), and the Sanskrit mantra “Om Shanti” — a prayer for peace. Bringing all of these elements into harmony made the process more complex, but it was worth every effort.

One of your previous tracks you would recommend for first time listeners of your music and why? 

I currently have two tracks released, and I would strongly recommend starting with “Lokah Samastah.” It is a powerful prayer for compassion and universal freedom from suffering.

Dream collaboration:

I would love to collaborate with many artists if and when the opportunity arises. A true dream collaboration would be Deva Premal and Miten, if the stars ever align.

Describe your fans in three words: 

Loving. Compassionate. Explorers.

From my interactions so far, many listeners are seeking inner calm, peace, and relief from daily stress. I believe those qualities already live within all of us — and whenever we drift away, there are always gentle paths that guide us back.

A track released in the last few years by an artist or band you wish you had written:

I wish I had written “The Ordinary” by Alex Warren.
It has beautiful, devotional lyrics in the name of love, full of emotion and musical depth.

What we can look forward to in 2026: 

I am very excited about 2026.

In March, I will be releasing my full album “Whispers of Rain.” I will also be launching a guided meditation album, “Journey to Self,” featuring 10 guided journeys into relaxation, healing, and emotional release.

I am planning a live retreat called “Sound to Silence,” where participants can explore the inner world through gentle sound and deeper immersion into silence.

My website www.rinarain.com launches this month, where all information will be available. I already have several tracks in progress for my second album.
