A WONDERFUL, SENSUAL, SPIRITUAL AND ECSTATIC JOURNEY!!!
Thank you thank you thank you to Deepak Chopra, Adam Plack and the artists on the Oceans of Ecstasy. What's wonderful is that despite what some other rather soul-less and infantile people may think, I didn't have to read the Koran,Bible, Lao Tzu, or the Dhammapadma to be moved by this music and poetry. One just has to be a lover - a lover of peace, a lover of humanity, a lover of knowledge and ultimately perhaps a lover of oneself!! The words of the Indian poet Tagore are modern, enchanting and transforming in so many ways!!! The marriage of poetry and the sensual music took me to places within myself and with my lover that I and we had not visited before...
Thank you for introducing me to this sweet poetry and for a night with my lover that I will not forget!!!

STUNNING AND BEAUTIFUL...ALL LOVERS SHOULD READ THIS TO ONE ANOTHER.
A SIMPLY GORGEOUS AND A SEXY TRIP WAS HAD BY ME AND MY LOVER!!!

At last, a mixture of sexy and spiritual music and words!! I loved this album and use it to relax to and to get busy (in the bedroom of course!)too when the mood takes me!!!
A must for lovers and lovers of cool music

I heard this once and then played it 100 times. Doubtlessly the most sensuous album ever. With incredible lyrics, the unmistakable deep and sensual voice of Deepak, and stunning music by Mr. Plack, you can't go wrong. If you are not in love now...you will be.

"Those who met Tagore described him as one of the great souls of our age; Einstein considered him a sage. From what we learn in these poems, he certainly lived his own words. He kissed the infinite; he was not afraid to lose everything for love. In these poems he allows us to experience love with words and music that wash our souls." ~ Deepak Chopra

Poetry weaves itself through Adam Plack's sensual music in passionate whispers and fantasy worlds of past lives and future invitations. Unrequited love becomes rain with pattering feet and smiles of autumn. The lover, while mortal, becomes the world in her absence.

Visions of beauty, romance and passion create an world of mystery and exotic moods. Poetry escapes from pages and breathes through sweet vocal interpretations. Ancient echoes, jazzy escapes and electronic tribal fusion awakens a soul intoxication in "When I Kiss."

Deepak read many translations of Rabindranath Tagore's poems and then translated the poetry for our generation. The results are stunning in beauty. Deepak Chopra, Sinead O'Connor, Angelica Houston, Antonio Banderas, Marisa Tomei, Lisa Bonet, Milla Jovovich, Shekhar Kapur, Gina Gershon, Melanie Griffith, Jared Harris and Claued Challe mingle their voices with music.

If you have read Rabindranath Tagore's poems I think you will be impressed with these new translations. I remember the first time I read one of his poems and the experience was an awakening to poetic wonder.

Within these poems, you may find yourself wandering in India, Africa or Spain. You may become lost walking across clouds or seduced into the pleasures of the invisible.

"...we are drifting in different streams of the world
our lives would be carried apart
and our love forgotten
but I'm not so foolish that I would hope
to buy your heart with gifts"
~My Gift to You

If you are a hopeless romantic, this musical journey with poetry will make you heady. If you love creating moods, this is perfect while taking a bath by candlelight. I'd highly recommend something like "Dream On" from Lush and perhaps the Flying Fox shower gel and an application of Flying Fox Jasmine temple balm. This CD whispers: "Play me in the dark with the flicker of at least 4 beautifully scented champaca candles." I can recommend the Ergo Champa candle or the Ergo Passion Rose de Mai.

The poems presented here seduce with soul longings and entangle you in magical stories of love. The entire CD is breathlessly beautiful and a true gift of love to anyone willing to spend the time diving deep into this mystery. I can also highly recommend Deepak's book: "The Soul In Love."

"Say your last words in silence..."
~Flight to Freedom

~The Rebecca Review

This CD is for anyone who is love or wishes to be. I found the content of this music very sexy, although quite clean in delivery. It evokes the feeling of romance in it's purest form.

Fabulous production, with groovy, sexy music and poetry that elevates your mind and opens your heart.
Consistently good throughout, even better than " A Gift of Love 1 " in that respect ( No offense to Rumi, whose poetry I adore also.)
All in all a masterpiece!
What a wonderful time we live in when precious ancient mystical poetry like this reaches out to so many fresh minds in such entrancing and enticing ways.

Everyone who is ever planning on marriage should be given a copy of this. it is the best witness to love that was ever written , besides Corinthians 13. i have given away at least 14 of these. I wish Deepak woould make another sequel.

A powerful audio history of our people. This CD has stunning audio pictures and is nicely bound. I would recommend it to everyone in the tribe.

Love this CD. It sends me into a meditative state. Very free and loving feeling, this music enters my soul.
