"Critics always comment on the clarity and precision of Laskhmi Shankar's melodious voice, with it's three octave range. She is one of the few great classical singers, whose voice is lovely and accessible to the Western ear. The Mira Bhajan is absolutely astounding. You feel every word, as Lakhsmi Shankar sings, "i have made a funeral pyre with sandalwood and incense. Come, ignite it with your own hand. And when it has become a pile of ash, smear it on your body. Light my light with yours, make my sould merge in yours.""
