Pavamana Mantra

"[4][5] In the interpretation of Swami Krishnananda (1977), "From the nonexistent, from the unreal, from the apparent, lead me to the other side of it, the Existent, the Real, the Noumenon."

According to this interpretation and in keeping with the philosophy of Vedanta, the text rejects the material world as "unreal", "dark" and "dead" and invokes a concept of the transcendental reality.

[11] The quote has been used as an opening statement for the Economic Survey 2021[12] by Krishnamurthy Subramanian, who reports to the finance minister under the Narendra Modi Government.

In 2003, the mantra was worked into two pieces of the score for The Matrix Revolutions, Neodämmerung by Don Davis and Navras by Juno Reactor and used in the final battle scene and end credits of the film, respectively.

[14] The text of the mantra (albeit with some typography issues and/or typos) is quoted in the beginning of the official music video for Light of Transcendence,[15] the first track on the 2018 album Ømni by the Brazilian power metal band Angra.
