This review is from: Music for Ayurveda (Audio CD)

As the composer of this music, I wish to respond to the unhappy reviewer who could not accept my untraditional presentation of Ayurvedic concepts because of the sounds I chose in support of them. The ability to exercise taste and judgment based upon serious study of traditional Indian music is truly commendable and deeply appreciated; the display of an excess of negative Pitta energy that is pointedly dismissive, bordering on the caustic, is simply harmful and very misleading. This album was not composed as a mindless version of, or substitute for, the great music of India. It was written for Westerners, especially Americans, who are just becoming aware of some of the ancient rejuvenating insights of Ayurveda. As with any deep subject, there is an esoteric realm of understanding (for the select few), and an exoteric realm (for the general public). One has to begin somewhere. I chose to begin here. With time, discipline, and dedication we may all move on, I hope.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Wonderful Music by Janetta Petkus, January 31, 2000

I loved Petkus' first single CD, "Moving in Time", so I wondered if I would be disappointed in this second effort. Happily, I must say that this set equals "Moving in Time" in its beauty, quality, and depth. I especially enjoyed Track 1 of the Pitta CD, and the Kapha CD is perfect for unwinding. For those that spend long periods at the computer, the Vata CD is just the thing for keeping you energized and creative!

Petkus has created compositions that will heal, relax or energize, and draw you into meditation. Very, very beautiful work.
