Vedic peace chants exquisitely executed w/tanpura,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hymns from the Vedas and Upanishads, Vedic Chants (Audio CD)
I am not an expert in music of India, but have listened to many CD's and attended many performances. Jitendra Abhisheki's voice is simply exquisite. His pronunciation is so clear that even without a text to follow you can pick up words to most of the peace chants. His rendering of the Siva Mahimnastotram (Hymn on the Greatness of Shiva) sets a mood of reverence and absorption. Also included are a poem by Jayadeva of Radha's great love for Krishna. This isn't something you want to have playing in the background during a fourth-of-july celebration, it really deserves dedicated listening. I am looking for more by him.

A great recording,

I've had this CD for years, and I never tire of it. I have also heard many other renditions of vedic chant, Gita Govinda, etc, and have yet to hear anything that holds a candle to Jitendra Abhisheki's renditions. A very special recording!

A Definite Recommendation for Mantra Lovers,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hymns from the Vedas and Upanishads, Vedic Chants (Audio CD)
This mantra CD is "orthodox" mantra and well produced. The accompanying music is very basic--and that's one of the reasons that makes it orthodox.For people new to this type of music (mantra), the term "orthodox" applies to Hindu music just as the term "purist" applies to folk music. Both terms apply to the original source & performance of the music. When applied to mantra, "orthodox" implies the subject matter & performance is replicated exactly, or at least very closely, as it has been handed down from its origin--although with mantra, the origin probably goes beyond recorded history. This CD is that it goes back to the source without any Western fusion elements at all. I like all mantra music--provided it is well produced. This CD is very well produced. Jitendra Abhisheki was born into a family of hindu priests, and the tabla plyer, Hari Rao, is a close associate of the great Ravi Shankar. This is music for deep meditation, but it is also pleasant background for people drawn to Hindu music. This music is excellant for moring hatha yoga. "Just curious" people would probably not be interested; but people drawn to the spirituality of mantra--and/or archivists--should find the CD a welcome addition to their library.
