    Pros: Relaxes your mind, body and Soul!

    Cons: Addictive

    While surfing through the CD collection at the temple library in the US, I came across this album. I decided to give it a try as it was produced by Pt.Ravi Shanker. The listing of the tracks is as follows 1. Vandanaa Trayee 2. Omkaaraaya Namaha 3. V...edic Chanting 4. Asato Maa 5. Sahanaa Vavatu 6. Poornamadah 7. Gaayatri8. Mahaa Mrityunjaya 9. Veenaa-Murali 10. Geeta 11. Mangalam 12. Hari Om 13. Svara Mantra 14. VedicChanting 15. Prabhujee 16. Sarve Shaam From the 16 tracks on this album, about 4 of them are individual compositions like tracks 9, 13, 15 etc. The CD leaflet gives a detailed descriptionof the album and also the chants are listed there wherea the cassette doesn’t give all the details. All the chants are rendered beautifully especially the Gayatri mantra which is considered as the mother of all mantras. theGayatri mantra rendition on this album is really good. The tracks from 3 to 8 are the ones that really stand out in this album. This album scores on the quality of the recording and the tone of the album. Read more Less

    Pros: Thoroughly Relaxing

    Cons: Totally Addictive

    I can listen to this CD for hours on end.

    Prabhujee is my favorite chant and I have totally memorized it, making it part of my daily chanting ritual.

    Kudos to Ravi Shankar and God bless George Harrison.

Pro Reviews: Mantram: Chant of India

  • All Music Guide

    Chants of India is a very smooth and delicate recording of sacred Sanskrit and Vedic prayers. George Harrison produced this set for Ravi Shankar. In the liner notes, Shankar states his intention to preserve the intense spirituality of the chants and to give them universal appeal. Shankar's style and diversity allow him to open doors that are closed to other musicians. The instrumental accompaniment adds depth and soul to this recording. Shankar's compositional and sound design styles add atmosphere. Harrison's deft touch allows the music to develop and maintain its own integrity. Among records of this nature, this one is special. It will appeal to fans of Nawang Khechog, Jonathan Goldman and Sheila Chandra.
