    This is ok but it’s not very relaxing… I would classify this music as a bollywood soundtrack.

  2. I have other Jai Uttal releases, but this has a twist, and is well worth adding to you collection.

    Jai is wonderful. Ganesha Shanaram plays in my head all day and I feel happy. Even my granddaughter dances with me when it plays. Very cool.

    Beautiful CD and inspiring. Heard it first at a Yoga training and it felt like arriving back at home.

    For Yoga or just chill, this is a must have!

    I’m very new to Kirtan. But I stumbled onto this CD here at Amazon and just fell in love instantly with Jai’s soft, tender voice.

    I don’t even understand any of the words or know why they are sung…but I DO know is I felt instantly wrapped in a silky, fluffy cloud of serenity, joy, and sweet mesmerizing serenity.

    My favorite is Shri Krishna Govinda. It is a soothing lullaby-like song and really transports the listener to a relaxed, blissful state. Especially the last minute of it.

    Beautiful, mind-expanding album!
