About
Adi Shakti is Vidya’s third album. It’s a continuum of her second album The Papillon, released in 2022 and based on the experience of having searched for, finding and then losing her Indian biological mother. In June 2022 Vidya’s Swedish mother unexpectedly, also past away. To lose a mother means that a strong bound suddenly ceases to exist. With this, a possibility opened up for Vidya to find pieces inside, never yet discovered.
During this time she found comfort in a poem by Rumi and the hindu mantra Adi Shakti.
”Out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing there is a field, I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down on that grass the world is too full to talk about” - Rumi
Adi Shakti means ”Primal Power” and connects us to the vast and infinite divine source inside. The mantra is feminin to its aspect and when chanting the words, it merges us into the life giving motherly-energy, that creates all things.
Vidya feels the mantra and the poem harmonize well together, as they are both implying there’s a place beyond all our knowing, where a new world is available. Her new music came to be inspired from this.
