"Navras" is a composition and a song from The Matrix Revolutions soundtrack by goa trance band Juno Reactor, whose remix version is composed by Don Davis and Juno Reactor featuring vocal elements by Lakshmi Shankar and Azam Ali.[1] The song contains an adaption of the Pavamana Mantra found in the Hindu sacred text the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, section I.iii.28, used in the soundtrack of the movie The Matrix Revolutions. The song was also a remix of an earlier track called Neodammerung (German for "the twilight of Neo"). The name Navras might refer to the notion of nine rasas (nava rasa) in Sanskrit aesthetics.[citation needed]
