The joy and love that
grammy nominated chant master Jai Uttal has been bringing
to the art and practice of ecstatic chant for more than
30 years has really been captured on this beautiful 2 CD
set. The varied and interesting instrumentation that mixes
traditional Indian music with electronic, rock, jazz and
even hill billy influences all work together in Jai's work
to pay homage to the supreme energy that pervades the universe.
His beautiful introductory explanation of Bhakti yoga illuminates
the chanting and lets us hear directly from Jai what Kirtan
means to him and can mean to us. Kirtan is generally practiced
as call and response and this offering is an invitation
to join in and feel the ocean of divine feelings deep inside
each of us.
Chants included on
this CD are:
• Ganesha Sharanam
• Radhe Govinda
• Sita Ram
• Nataraj
• Durga
Pahimam
• Hara Hara Mahadev/Om Namah Shivaya
• Jaya Radha
• Radha Rani
• Sri Krishna Govinda
• Kali Bolo
An
accompanying 8 page booklet has translations and explanations
of all the chants, plus more guidance from Jai on the essence
of Kirtan and Bhakti yoga. The 2 CDs contain over
2 hours of chants and music.
For those who have not yet experienced Kirtan,
this is a lovely introduction to the music and the practice. For those who practice
chanting the names of the Lord in group settings, this is a great way to re-experience
the ecstasy, whenever the mood strikes.
