From the recording YolandaNanda 1
"This is a classic rock n roll song with a positive vibe. Rahkay Rakhanhaar is a mantra against all negativity, which is in line with the song's message. Yolanda's voice is smooth and the bass line is very catchy. I never imagined this mantra used in such an unexpected way-but it totally works". -Rock At night Magazine, review by Shuvam DasGupta

Rakhe Rakhanhar. This is the most powerful Mantra that can be practically applied for protection. I have used it many times in my life. The beautiful thing is that it is a Mantra for protection that not only surrounds you with protection but your entire community. The level of protection that I am talking about strikes down any negativity coming your way.
It is essentially a very sweet and beautiful Mantra. Many musicians will choose beautiful and lovely tunes naturally because of the energy that this Mantra vibrates. However, the effect is like a steel sword as used by the fiercest warrior you can imagine. This combination of sweet and fierce actually protects our innocence. For this reason I chose a rock and roll version based on Rocky Horror's “Time Warp”. Rocky Horror Show came into my life in high school, when I needed protection from the world around me. I used the song “Time Warp” as a touchstone to my own authenticity. The dance and song was like a ritual of protection for me.
