Editorial Reviews

Leap of Grace is a gorgeous rendering of the sacred Hanuman Chalisa, one of the truly revered prayers of the spiritual tradition of India. Chant artist David Newman, also known as Durga Das, teamed up with renowned New York producer Frank Wolf to create an ambient soundscape nestling the Hanuman Chalisa in a radiant atmosphere of soothing voices and delicate musical textures. On Leap of Grace, the Hanuman Chalisa is recited eleven times, an auspicious number that is traditional for bestowing Hanuman's blessings on sacred occasions. Leap of Grace is a modern day CD prayer wheel, manifesting its message as it spins in your player, that both maintains the beauty of its ancient heritage and speaks elegantly to the sonic sensibilities of our time. Leap of Grace is a mystical and musical journey into a magical devotional hymn known for its purifying and spiritually uplifting qualities. It can be used for chanting, meditation, yoga or to bathe in the sounds of sacred healing vibrations. Simply put, Leap of Grace is a lullaby for the Soul!

This CD offers great perspective - it is a unique and uplifting experience to listen to Leap of Grace. I would highly recommend it. The repetitive nature has a wonderful calming effect, which I love to play at work.

Durga das' (David Newman) "Leap of Grace" is a wonderful addition to the many versions of the Hanuman Chalisa. The music and Durga das' voice have a pleasant drone effect, which is appropriate for meditating upon Shri Hanuman's great leap from Bharatavarsha to Lanka or finding music to soothe one from a trying day.Leap of Grace: The Hanuman Chalisa
