Beautiful, serene, addictive! I don't want to repeat what's already here, so suffice it to say that this album is the kind of music one can use sitting alone on a large body of water at sunrise, during the birth of a child, as background music for all that is beauty and peace in life. It is a true gem among music.

I recently drove 20 miles past my exit on the highway because I was so peaceful and content in the music... And you know what, because of the music - the drive back to my exit was a joy! If I knew you personally, I'd tell you that if you don't like it, I'll buy it from you just so I could give to someone else. It's simply that good.

Well, it's been over 3 years since I originally wrote this review (it's now Dec 7th, 2007) and this disc still stays in our cars, home, and on our iPods (my wife loves this CD as well!) We bought several copies because we kept stealing it from one another, or leaving it where we weren't and wanted it. We have somewhere near 4000 CDs in our collection and this is still one of the most cherished. I had to ween myself off of listening to it all the time just so I could hear other music...

If you are reading this because you are considering this CD, as a 25+ year recording engineer/producer, fan and experimenter of all things music across all categories, and a very spiritual person as well - I cannot recommend this CD enough. It might not be for everyone but I have a hard time believing that everyone would not appreciate the music on this disc at least at one/some point in their lives. It is peaceful and uplifting while being simple and inviting.

If you think you'll have an issue because you don't understand the words (non-English lyrics), just read the liner notes and my guess is that concern will quickly melt away.

Snatam's other albums are also wonderful. This one is still my personal favorite. I can truly say that I have time-tested it, and one just never tires of this amazingly beautiful collection of music. At least this holds true for me, and many others I know.

All the best & Prem to you,
Chuck

Beautiful CD! At first I didn't fully appreciate the quality of the music....but after I listened to it a few times I was hooked! Now I just listen to it over and over. It is the type of CD that takes a long time to get old and you just want to play all the time. The sound just puts my heart to ease. It makes you feel like "everything is going to be fine"...even though you may be dealing with all kinds of things in your life.

Not just music for pleasure...but music for the soul! I highly recommend this CD.

I discovered Snatam Kaur's "Gobinda Gobinda Hari Hari" from the "Prem" CD in Amazon's Downloadable Music section. After listening to the first few seconds of it, I knew I had to buy the CD. I generally gravitate to more uptempo "active" music, but I find that I love this is incredibly soft, soothing, moving and uplifting sound. It's perfect for meditation, reading, housecleaning, waking up or going to sleep to - you name it. The entire CD is great, but in addition to "Gobinda Gobinda Hari Hari" I find "Waheguru Wahe Jio" particularly beautiful in terms of vocals and rhythm.

I did not like this CD as well as "Shanti" and "Grace." The production was much less rich, more simple. You may like that, but I did not find it as engaging or wide and spacious as the other two CDs I have. I do encourage you to give Kaur a try. Her music is inspiring.

Evocative and engrossing...Play this CD during your asana practice and lose yourself in the mantra, moving to organic rhythms that effortlessly synchronize with your breathing. Play while you simply sit with awareness, and Kaur's voice guides you to your divine center within, strengthening the inherent union of mind, body and spirit in each of us! Yoga practitioner or not, make this a part of your collection. You will not be disappointed!

Peace!

This woman has the sweetest, most pure voice. Every person I've played this CD for has gone out and bought it. The song Gobinda Gobinda Hari Hari is absolutely hypnotic and heart-expanding. You won't go wrong with this CD. I've since bought every other CD she's put out.

This music touches that pure innocent place within....these chants are really beautiful, I've enjoyed the music of Deva Premal, Krishna Das and Wah...and this one is in the same camp, "Prem" bares listening to over and over, each time I experience an opening, a tenderness of heart, yes, and tears of graditude, this is a gem....thank you Snatam for your expression of devotion, I look forward to hearing more of your music....

Whether you are a healer, a massage therapist, a meditator or __________, you will find this music STAYS in your energy field! You will hum it as you walk...you will hum it as you shower...you will hum it whenever your mind is quiet and allows it to return you to the "Now."

This is my favorite music. For meditating with it is perfect: rythmic and evocative, peaceful and fulfilling on a very deep level. I just wish she would put out more albums like this.

This is one of my most beloved albums in my music collection. Through Snatam's voice one can feel the Love that hugs the entire universe. Every time I listen to it I am brought into a loving balance of calm and peace. Thank you Snatam for delivering to us such beautiful music. This and her other albums I highly recommend.
