According to journalist and writer Neil Strauss , Shelter presented the spiritual principles of the Hare Krishnas in the form of a “universal, common message of unity, respect and faith” on this album. [2] Music critic Jenny Elisku notes that Mantra reflected Shelter’s commitment to straight edge philosophy and Gaudiya Vaishnavism . [1] The group created a melodic hardcore punk album, somewhat stepping aside from pop punk style. The song “Here We Go” even became a hardcore anthem. The lyrics of the album are devoted mainly to the theme of Hare Krishna philosophy and the problems created by Western civilization. [one]
