My name is Michael Paumgarten. I´m an Austrian musician. I´m very glad that I succeeded (with the help of a musician from Napoli/Italy – Guglielmo Rubino) in composing a song about the 5 pyramids of Visoko, called “Viosoko, Tal der Pyramiden”.
We published it on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v_0ZY94F0U&ab_channel=MichaelPaumgarten
This song was written during a magical journey into the valley of the Bosnian pyramids of Visoko, together with my companion Aranda.
While four of the five pyramids symbolize the fundamental aspects of life – earth, moon, sun, love – the dragon pyramid holds a secret for the new world …
Thanks to light science, the music here is made visible in a unique way by means of water oscillation and water crystal images. In this way, the sound in all its aspects can be perceived not only through the ears but also through the eyes as colour, structure, shape and essence. The fascination and beauty of this fusion can unfold here in its full sensual dimension.
The song is embedded in two important Vedic mantras, the Vyahruti and the Om Tryambakam.
The fire ritual is the Vedic Agnihotra fire.
I´m very happy that Wolfgang Puschnig, the most famous Austrian jazz musician, is featuring the song with his reed flute!
It would be a great honour for me and Aranda if we could contribute with this song to enrich the fantastic work at Visoko!

Visoko – “Valley of the Pyramids”
Vyahruti Mantra
I honor the earth that is under Agni (the lord of the sacred fire). I surrender to Him.
I honor the space that is under Vayu (the lord of the cosmic breath). I surrender to Him.
I honor heaven, which is under Surya (the lord of the highest light who created everything).
I surrender to Him.
I honor the earth, space and heaven which are all subject to Prajapati (the creator of all living beings). I surrender to Him.
German text
- Oh you, great dragon, we want to say thank you,
That you guarded and protected the other four,
Now spread your wings, develop your strength,
Spit fire into the water, now you create the new!
- I thank you from the bottom of my heart, my dear little mother,
For everything you give me, day in and day out,
How wonderful it is when I feel the earth again
When I notice what I’ve missed, don’t lose myself anymore.
- Oh moon, how shall I withdraw myself
Soft are you, deep and mystical, mysteriously beautiful,
Oh, help all people to discover the space within themselves,
by looking deep in quietness …
- Oh sun, you cover the whole world with peace,
Through you, everyone now feels what has weight, what matters,
You are my door to the source, you bring me to my father,
Oh sun, you my center, my eternal light!
- Oh goddess of love, you most powerful dream,
Only you teach us to respect the sacred space!
Tryambakam Mantra
O Lord, I worship you through the sacred fire, whose sweet scent permeates all three spheres of the universe (earth, space and sky) and nourishes everything to create abundance and well-being. Let me be connected to the almighty power through Agni, through whose grace alone I can be released from the chains of my own actions (karma). Like the fruit from the vine, deliver me from death and grant me the nectar of immortality.
