Lalita sings the mantra Asato Ma Sat Gamaya on a Saturday evening Satsang at Yoga Vidya in Bad Meinberg, Germany.

"Asato Ma Sat Gamaya" is a mantra from the Upanishad, it is a mantra that comes from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, 1.3.28, it is a mantra, which therefore also belongs to the Shanti Mantras, thus to the mantras of peace, and it is also a prayer, where we ask to experience the highest. "Asato Ma Sat Gamaya" means: "Guide me and lead us from Asat, from untruth, to Sat, to truth."

Here is the text to sing along:

Asato Ma Sat Gamaya

Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya

Mrityor Manritan Gamaya //

The whole text of Asato Ma means: Guide us from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light, from mortality to immortality.
