For centuries people have been chanting the names of the divine in order to uplift the spirit and bring peace to the mind. Now we have begun to feel their presence here in the West, and receive the blessings of their beauty. Singers/ instrumentalists, Tina Malia and Shimshai, bring their angelic vocals and acoustic instruments to these ancient melodies and mantras. Including guitars, 12 string, percussion from Africa and the Middle East, dulcimer, sitara, kalimba and more. The CD includes a talented array of musicians, including Sasha Butterfly, Al Torre, Vir McCoy and MJ Greenmountain from Hamsa Lila, Lakshmi Ma, and special honored guests Jai Uttal on vocals and dotar, Omar Faruk Tekbilek on vocals, ney and baglama saz, and Yair Dalal on violin and oud. Simple and deeply moving, there are tastes of India, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas The presence that lies within these ancient mantras move and heal in remarkable ways, and the CD captures that very essence. Making this project has truly been a labor of love for Tina, Shimshai and all involved. Best of all, it comes in 100% recycled packaging with no plastic (except the CD of course)!

5 out of 5 stars Addictive music.......2007-06-27

I love all the chants. The last song in English is a little boring. My partner and I listen to the chants so much we dream about them. It's addicting. I love Tina Malia. The harmonies blend very well. I would like to see more of the Sanskrit songs.

5 out of 5 stars A Favourite.......2007-02-07

Exhilarating arrangements of some great Sanskrit mantras. The last track is rather an anticlimax but this is still a very enjoyable CD!

5 out of 5 stars Mercy, what an ocean........2007-02-16

Innocence, purity, exuberance and sweetness is Jaya Lakshmi...the album is a musical Lotus Blossom that celebrates harmony and devotion.

4 out of 5 stars Ocean Of Mercy, Jaya Lakshmi's first Album..........2006-10-01

I enjoy this album immensely.
However I like her newer album, Jewel of Hari much much better. and the funny thing is that these albums both grew on me, kind of crept up over a period of time. In fact when I first bought Jewel of Hari I actually hated it. No I really hated it. I don't know why, it was just one of those strong first impressions. But what is weird is that I listed it to sell on Amazon, and by the time I had a buyer, I popped it back into the CD player for a listen, and lo and behold, i loved it. So of course I had to ship it out. But I copied some of the songs to my computer. I ended up loving the songs soooo much over time, that I had to go out and get the album again, and this one as well.
This is her first album. What a spirited Woman musician. She went against all odds, traveling with her young daughter, a single parent, singing to her guru, and totally emersing herself in Divine Bliss, in the Ocean of Mercy. Smiles to this album.

5 out of 5 stars Sweet voice.......2006-08-13

If you enjoy chanting and Kirtan, then this is a great CD to purchase. Jaya Lakshmi has a sweet voice, a voice like and angel. This is a great CD for yoga,(I'm a yoga instructor), even massage, or just plain relaxing.

5 out of 5 stars Not Just For A Devotee.......2005-03-21

I would like to think that if something similar to this was first chanted thousands of years ago, it was done with the same soul-filled passion that Jaya Lakshmi does it with. Her beautiful voice and spiritual fervor blend together for a truly unique musical and mystical experience. The music is performed flawlessly, as English mixes with what I think is Sanskrit, in this lovely and moving piece.

Your sweet face
is like a million suns
flooding my mind

Oh You have captured me
with your beauty
now this heart
is no longer mine

~from Ocean Of Mercy

Fans of music from India are sure to love this. The often upbeat melody, that at times seems almost modern, will also appeal to anyone that is interested in hearing well played music from another culture. The sublime voice of Jaya Lakshmi becomes almost ethereal as she reminds me of a beautiful gopi dancing the Rasa.

5 out of 5 stars It's about devotion.......2005-02-12

Mr. Anderberg obviously doesn't realize that the single focus of this album is the love and adoration of Krishna, not the prattling of "subjects in any way related to eastern religion" that he seems to think it is about. If he wants to call adoration of God "drivel, pure and simple", well, that's his business. I think he totally missed the point. The whole record is devotional--pure, loving, and sexy.

5 out of 5 stars Jewel of Hari is a convoluted Surprise of Joy and Freedom~.......2006-10-01

This is my favorite of her two Albums and one of my favorite CDs in my entire collection. I love devitional music, and this album is totally upbeat with tastefully interwoven Flamenco guitar, Indian Percussion, Tablas, among more modern sounding back-beats, and dance grooves. Perfect for meditation, Yoga, and even Just Getting Inspired. To me this Album has a whole lot of Aries/Libra Balance about it. It has a very FREEDOM LOVE feeling about it and yet it is very clear, balanced and awake. This album, I hated the first time I listened to it! So I sold it. The second time I listened to it, I was absoluetly shocked to Love it, and It is now one of my most favorite albums, and more frequently listened to, without ever getting sick of it. Maybe that is how I love it so much. Somehow this album merged with me in a non-conscious way, and totally snuck up on me! Wow, A very magical abum of peace and freedom in Devotional Modern Style~ very Very Highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Good, but dose not have the energy of "Ocean of mercy".......2005-05-09

This is a good CD, but her previous CD, Ocean of mercy was much better.

To summaries in one sentence, this CD simply dose not have the energies of Ocean of mercy, and in this regard it is very disappointing!

5 out of 5 stars A totally relaxing experience.......2004-07-25

I'm not really into music that has a lot of chanting in it except maybe for early Enigma music. Then I heard Jaya Lakshmi on "Buddha Lounge 2" last year with the beautifully hypnotic "Sundara". I found myself playing that particular song over and over. Today I was listening to samples of Jaya's second album "Jewel of Hari" (which also contains "Sundara") at a major bookstore chain. I found myself enchanted by the Asian-influenced melodies and Jaya's hypnotic chants. Jaya Lakshmi has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. Her vocals do not overwhelm the lush melodies throughout the cd. All the songs took my breathe away. I loved the title track "Jewel of Hari" which is a gentle, lush acoustic folk/new age song. It was so light and gentle it could literally float on air. The second I heard the first song "Radha Pranam", I knew my ears were in for a treat. I was hooked on Jaya's music right then and there. Picking a favorite song off this enchanting cd is so difficult for me because I love all of them in their own unique way. "Ramachandra" is ridiculously catchy, I found myself humming along to the song. Most of the songs are written by Jaya herself but there are a few traditional chant songs like "Bhaja Hure Mana" and "Bolo Sri Krsna". The arrangements on all of the songs is nothing short of stunning. All the instruments on the cd ranges from modern acoustic guitars to more traditional Indian instruments like the tabla and sarod. I almost wanted to started dancing to this cd or practice yoga when I was listening to this cd in the bookstore. The music captivated me the same way that I was captivated by the Buddha Bar series. I never imagined that chanting in music would sound as lovely as what I heard on "Jewel of Hari". It is the ideal cd to relax, dance, or to meditate to. Truly one of the best cds to be released in 2004.

5 out of 5 stars A gift from heaven.......2004-06-07

"Jewel Of Hari" is a gift from heaven. Delivered by an angel or in this case Goddess Lakshmi to celebrate a way to connect to our divine source without the need to meditate on a mountain top for twenty years in order to discover it. Turn off the lights, take a deep breath and flow with the music. It takes you to a different world. One of love, beauty and peace. We can all use more of that in our lives. Thank you Jaya Lakshmi for your beautiful voice and for your music from the heavens. Your CD is a gift to mankind.

5 out of 5 stars Devotional Music to Inspire your Life.......2004-06-07

Jaya Lakshmi's "Jewel of Hari" is a pure transmission of love, grace and devotion, uplifting and heart opening. This music will set your spirit soaring, with dancing rhythms and joyful lyrics. This CD is perfect for dancing, chanting, meditation, yoga, or just pure relaxing. This divine music and transformative lyrics will send you into ecstatic states of PURE BLISS. This is my all-time favorite CD of devotional chanting!

    5 out of 5 stars traditional, and yet more.......2001-07-24

    Frequently, Western composers who choose to work in non-Western musical traditions are demonized as "culural rapists" who simply use these traditions as gimmicks or "hooks" to create interest in their work. Unfortunately, some of these composers _do_ run roughshod over the cultures they claim to be celebrating. This collection of works, however, is another story. Rarely have I found a group of new pieces that are so solidly rooted in a non-Western tradition (here, the Balinese gamelan gong kebyar) and yet so fresh and contemporary. All the pieces here are well-crafted and represent the work of composers who are literate in multiple musical traditions. My personal favorites are Evan Ziporyn's two contributions, especially his collaboration with noted Balinese composer I Nyoman Windha, "Kekembangan." Every piece merits repeated listenings, though. This disc is a rich tapestry of compositions that can be enjoyed by lovers of gamelan and contemporary music alike. A welcome addition to any CD library.

      Krishna Vallabha's deep spiritual connection is reflected in her beautiful voice and lovely musical compositions. As a yoga instructor I use Krishna's music to set a sacred and loving space for practice. My Goddess Circle is currently learning the music on the Jaya cd so that we may join in the celebration of these Divine love songs. This is a wonderfully inspirational presentation and we look forward to future releases by this talented, devoted artist. Mani Manis, Rome, GA

      5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous vocals!.......2005-04-08

      I listen to her music all day in my home, in my car and at work (i'm a massage therapist / yoga teacher). Krishna has a special purity in her voice, a natural devotion that I have not heard in any other kirtan / chanting cd. She is a rising star. I highly recommend her cd.
