Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0801898005524 Label: Spirit Voyage Music Manufacturer: Spirit Voyage Music Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Spirit Voyage Music Release Date: October 01, 2004 Studio: Spirit Voyage Music Editorial Review: Album Description: This is Snatam Kaur's latest release and it is a joy to behold. Snatam has woven a magnificent tapestry of Gurmukhi, English, violin, guitar and flute and produced an album that is both spiritually moving and foot tapping at the same time. Like every Kundalini Yoga class, the album begins with the chant Ong Namo and unfolds with Snatam's flawless voice dancing over gentle flute, Indian violin, nylon string guitar and subtle keyboard. She weaves in devotional English lyrics such that one experiences the essence of the Gurmukhi chant with simple clarity. With deeply-moving music composed jointly by Thomas Barquee and Snatam Kaur, the second track, Ray Man, seduces listeners into a state of sublime meditation. The lyrics translate to "Oh my mind, practice yoga in this way." The third track, Hari Har, is the liveliest song Snatam has ever recorded. A fast-paced, drum-filled mantra that gets you up on your feet, this track introduces us to a much stronger side of Snatam's vocals. The next track, a simple and beautiful version of the healing meditation Ra Ma Da Sa, is accompanied by slow and soft classical guitar and keyboards with the flavor of a lazy river, gently flowing by on a summer afternoon. The final two tracks reveal the true cross-over nature of this album. Both in English, they are two songs very near to Snatam's heart. The first, By Thy Grace, has been a favorite at her live performances over the last year. This track sheds light on the title of the album, opening with the line "It is by the Grace that I sing Your Holy Name." Closing with an original composition of the Irish blessing, May the Long Time Sun Shine Upon You … a sweet and grace-filled farewell prayer. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Amazing GraceSnatum Kaur's voice is hauntingly beautiful, and this CD is divine from the first note to the last. If you are a student of yoga, you may recognize some of the songs from your yoga classes. It's great for yoga, journaling, contemplation, meditation or just being. Rating:  - Soothing to the spiritAfter hearing part of this at a Yogi class I had to have it and was not disappointed. Ms Kaur has a pure voice that is well used on each track. I listen to it while out walking, it fits well with nature. Rating: - A Sound Healing BestAttended Snatam's concert which was life changing for me. Her energy felt like Mother Mary to me. She is at the top of my favorites. Rating: - The right vibration for meditation, and for healing, and moreI have been inspired by the vibration of the music and song and chant in this CD from the moment my friend introduced me to it. I had to buy it! I use this often, I use it for meditations and for focusing and especially for healing meditations. Rating: - Regardless of your beliefsthis CD is an absolutely perfect addition to your life when you are looking for something to listen to while you work or do yoga or meditate. Snatam Kaur's voice is caramelly-sweet and not overpowered by the instruments in the background. My five and eight-year-old daughters love to listen to her while they do crafts and I find that listening to it in the car on our way to school cuts down on the fighting. Even though they don't understand the language all the time, they both love the soothing ... Read More |
