4.0 out of 5 stars chant & be happy for george, December 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Chant and be Happy! (Audio CD)

after hearing today that someone stabbed george, I felt compelled to put this on and listen again. I was a fan of "Wonderwall Music" thirty years ago, and it has definitely grown on me over the years. This takes up where "Wonderwall Music" left off. Everyone mentions the beautiful "Govinda" but I also love "Bhaja Bhakata-Arati" and the "Hare Krishna Mantra." I really think this music is where George's heart is, he's not the same cat that played the intro to "Roll over Beethoven" as a teenager. As he was being stabbed, he probably was chanting "Hare Krishna." If you even mildly enjoyed Ravi Shankar's side on "Bengla Desh", you should love this.

5.0 out of 5 stars LISTEN TO THE NECTAR, January 11, 2002

By 

Stephen R. Perry (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chant and be Happy! (Audio CD)

It was during the summer break from college, over thirty years ago, when I first heard Prayers to the Spiritual Master. I discovered it on the B side of the Hare Krishna Mantra single and I am pleased to see it included in this album re-release. Listening to it then produced the most profound effect. It brought tears to my eyes and seemed to fill me up from the depths of my being. I was literally struck with wonder and felt as though I was being given a glimpse of something infinitely precious, some core thing I had lost and long forgotten about, yet which just lay waiting to be discovered when I opened the door within. And this sacred sound vibration was the key. No, I wasn't on anything. All I can say is "Hear it for yourself." Because this is just one of the remarkable tracks on this truly beautiful album that celebrates the devotional tradition. To this day, it stands out as a beacon to those who would record or listen to consciousness changing music.
Thanks George, to you and your devotee friends at the temple, for such an offering of love. Yeah man, you can really HEAR the love shining through...

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the earlier CD version, February 16, 2003

I'd be happy to recommend this highly, except for two things:

1) The price is high for such a small amount of music, and

2) The earlier CD version had as its bonus track, "Prayer to the Spiritual Masters."

With all due respect to the late John Lennon and his widow, listening to them talk isn't why I would buy a CD of bhakti yoga chanting.
