CD Reviews

Gayatri Mantra

D. Blish | Rochester NY | 02/19/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This Cd is very enlightening for those who want to know more about what the Gayatri Mantra is. A very detailed summary. The Actual Chanting of the Gayatri Mantra (the short version is on the 5th track) and is somewhere between 30 to 45 minutes long and is exactly 108 repetitions. This is my favorite version of this chant for deep meditation. The Long version is chanted once on the 1st or 2nd track. (Om Bhuh Om Bhuvah Om Svaha Om Maha Om Jhana Om Tapa Om Satyam Om Tat Savitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi Dhiyonah Prachodayat Om)."

Truly the Mother of All Mantras

"Rattan Sharma

I generally don't like it when little "dialogues" (as in talking rather than music) or "explanations" and fabulous claims are inserted in Mantra CD. After all, the whole point of mantra is transcendence, going higher than the mundane, talky-talk plane. However, I don't mind it at all on this Gayatri CD. Rattan Sharma's remarks are brief and to the point--and only occur at the beginning. The rest of the CD explores various musical interpretations of the chant. At the risk of getting too wordy myself, let me just suggest that if you like mantra, you'll love this--and get it at this price before it goes up or the CD gets discontinued."

One of my favorites
