" Grant us knowledge from above
The knowledge hidden in the chants "
The Oli (chant) "E Ho Mai" is recited to move the mind
from the mundane space to the sacred,
to synchronise and channel the collective energy
towards a common Kuleana (responsibility).
Used for personal purpose or before entering into ceremony,
this Oli is often recited at the opening of events and gatherings,
It is recommended that haumana (students) use this chant to help them seek knowledge and clear their minds of any negativity.
The language used is ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, the official language of Hawaii.
