Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0619088307828 Label: Rasa Music Manufacturer: Rasa Music MPN: 83078 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Rasa Music Release Date: August 25, 1998 Studio: Rasa Music Editorial Review: Amazon.com: "The innocence of my life releases the God I love everywhere." These are the words of Rumi, 13th-century poet and founder of the Whirling Dervishes of Sufism, as spoken by the mature and melodious voice of Rosa Parks. Her voice, American history, those words, intense longing: Power. In celebration of the human spirit, The Gift of Love is a recitation of the love poems of Rumi by Dr. Chopra and celebrity friends, including Madonna, Goldie Hawn, and Robert A.F. Thurman. Sensual Middle Eastern-influenced music backs the reading and provides breaks between sections such as "Love Drunk" and "The Light of Love." The Gift of Love is sincere and potent stuff, unafraid of the deep physical, spiritual, and mental hunger that Rumi's words not only taste, but roll about the tongue and swallow whole. --Paige La Grone Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 5 stars? Are you guys high?Let me start by saying that this is the best album ever.....to get your enemies. They will be dead by the end of the album, guaranteed. In fact, I had to have the Kiss of Life administered by my ugly co-workers multiple times while listening to this travesty while at work. However, I will say that I listen to this album a lot when I am upset, or angry. It makes me laugh, and instantly lightens my mood. I feel no matter how bleak the outlook, I am not Martin Sheen speaking with a hoarse earnestness ...

From all directions the seeker will be attacked by the power of Love and will not be able to resist being touched by this Love on the deepest level of its Heart. I would recommend this CD to every spiritual seeker on the path of return. Thank you to all for their efforts on making this CD as professionally as they did. It was a jewel, truly heartfelt, inspiring, "a silent love in the spark of life"... Thank ...

I listen to it on headphones at night in bed and I am totally transported by it. It moves me to the same place my meditation does, it is fabulous, do not hesitate to buy it. If I could give it 10 stars I would.It will give you chills! Rating:  - It's about the presentationRumi's poetry is supreme. That said, the question becomes how is it being presented? Dr. Chopra and friends are respectful of the material. I find, however, especially upon repeat listenings, that Dr. Chopra's English is difficult to listen to and at times can sound strained- like lisping in English. I would suggest Coleman Barks for spoken Rumi recordings and Daniel Ladinsky's CD of spoken Hafiz poetry before this recording by Dr. Chopra. Rating: - The best poetry with music I've heardThis became a favorite as soon as I heard it when it first came out. Something about the words and music touch deep unexplained emotions. Deepak's voice is so soothing. This is a replacement for a copy I lost. |
