 A Definite Recommendation for Mantra Lovers May 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This mantra CD is "orthodox" mantra and well produced. The accompanying music is very basic--and that's one of the reasons that makes it orthodox.
For people new to this type of music (mantra), the term "orthodox" applies to Hindu music just as the term "purist" applies to folk music. Both terms apply to the original source & performance of the music.
When applied to mantra, "orthodox" implies the subject matter & performance is replicated exactly, or at least very closely, as it has been handed down from its origin--although with mantra, the origin probably goes beyond recorded history.
This CD is that it goes back to the source without any Western fusion elements at all.
I like all mantra music--provided it is well produced.
This CD is very well produced.
Jitendra Abhisheki was born into a family of hindu priests, and the tabla plyer, Hari Rao, is a close associate of the great Ravi Shankar.
This is music for deep meditation, but it is also pleasant background for people drawn to Hindu music.
This music is excellant for moring hatha yoga.
"Just curious" people would probably not be interested; but people drawn to the spirituality of mantra--and/or archivists--should find the CD a welcome addition to their library.

A great recording May 6, 2006

I've had this CD for years, and I never tire of it. I have also heard many other renditions of vedic chant, Gita Govinda, etc, and have yet to hear anything that holds a candle to Jitendra Abhisheki's renditions. A very special recording!
This is THE music for relaxation November 10, 1999

Abhishekhi lived and sang as the quintessential scholar of Sanskrit and the Bhagavad Gita. One need not be either to be enthralled by the highest quality of musicianship on display on this CD. This should be required listening in advanced musicology classes everywhere.
Vedic peace chants exquisitely executed w/tanpura August 23, 1998
25 out of 26 found this review helpful
I am not an expert in music of India, but have listened to many CD's and attended many performances. Jitendra Abhisheki's voice is simply exquisite. His pronunciation is so clear that even without a text to follow you can pick up words to most of the peace chants. His rendering of the Siva Mahimnastotram (Hymn on the Greatness of Shiva) sets a mood of reverence and absorption. Also included are a poem by Jayadeva of Radha's great love for Krishna. This isn't something you want to have playing in the background during a fourth-of-july celebration, it really deserves dedicated listening. I am looking for more by him.
