The nomination came as a surprise and I feel lucky.

I'm hopeful of winning the Grammy, but not tense.

Vibrating my vocal chords and producing multiple overtones with deep sounds while chanting the mantras is my specialty in the album. We did some over-dubbing so as to give the feel that the mantras are being chanted by a huge group of people.

Computers make me totally blank out.

I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted.

A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity.
