Sacred Chants Of Gayatri - Sanjeev Abhyankar & Devaki Pandit/Ashit Desai/Hema Desa

Advantages: HIS sitar can control your heart and soul, lovely music
Disadvantages: comprises of only four tracks

...SITAR SOUL is like foreever kind of a music which really opens the hidden truth of life by bringing mental peace to your mind. I think Ravi shankar is capable and even famous for Composing Music which is not composed by rules.No doubt his music is inexpressible Im a DIE HARD fan of Pandit Ravi Shankar ,after silence the next thing which comes to my mind is his SITAR.I feel this is one of his best creations.Raga Mishra Kafi and Raga Mian Ki Malhar are my favourites among all tracks.

God bless you Pandit ji.... Read review

I know the North American Indians had other homes but the tipi is one of my small havens – all imagination of course. So to write this review I shall give the basics of the C.D and my personal thoughts on the music. You may find this rather odd or revealing as it is an inner journey for me and one that I hope you will enjoy. I would like to describe the tracks, in doing so I shall record what word or sentence comes to my mind when I listen to it. SACRED SPIRIT – Chants and dances of the Native Americans.
