"Of course the mantra lyrics are full of spirit and life but the accompanying music is fantastic! There is just about every perfect sound I could think of on here and the arrangements are striking. It sings to my heart. Definitely check out this album and that song in particular."
Mellow and Meditative Album

"Jaya Lakshmi's 4th solo album "Radiance" is her most gentle, mellow and meditative, similar to Goldfrapp's "Seventh Tree" album. The electronic and uptempo beats from her previous albums and her work with Lost At Last/One At Last are mostly absent (with the exception of the opening track "Om Purnam", which starts off quietly, but builds up into a crescendo of drumbeats), but the warmth, sincerity and soulful passion still remain. The arrangements are thoughtful, and Jaya Lakshmi's distinctive voice remains elegant. Standout tracks include: "Om Purnam", "Sita Ram", "Mukunda Madhava", "Jai Ambe" and "Om Tara"."
