This gorgeous set--consisting of CD, DVD, and map--is well worth the investment. My friend, whose birthday present it was, was enchanted, and used it for meditation, excercise, and to create a peaceful ambience for writing. The vocals are evocative and ethereal without being repetitive or simplistic. I would recommend.

First off, let me say that the CD gets 5 Stars! However, the visuals that accompany the music are seemingly stock National Geographic footage. There is zero narration, so where you are and what you are looking at is totally unknown. Basically, there is just no context to frame the scenery in. Do get the CD, though.

This package captures the spiritual character of India in the beauty of it's music, it's people and it's land. The DVD is brilliantly beautiful. Treat yourself.

Landscapes sweep across the screen as a portrayal of daily life merges ancient farming practices with fast moving technology. The beauty of the connection of all life left a profound impact on me in moments where I could not explain my emotions, but felt them very present.

Through the eyes of the people filmed, we intimately view the struggles of the soul, the ever changing uncertainty of life and an element of deeper understanding in a world where the spiritual and the daily rituals of life intertwine in a beautiful union.

Metaphors abound with life reborn in a magical pond; a broom sweeping across a dusty path turns watery to awaken concepts of rebirth and cleansing. There are also elements of fire or the idea of walking through fire as images merge and one scene melts into the next.

Palm World Voices Vedic Path inspires an intense longing for a deeper spiritual experience. Like lost travelers traversing a desolate planet, the connection of family life brings comfort and herds of animals bring humor. A scene of thirty two candles, red wax dripping over the ground suddenly because profoundly beautiful and there are many artistic moments throughout this musical meditation.
