Editorial Reviews

Adam Skolnick, LA YOGA Magazine, March/April 2004

"...shrouded in the mystery one may expect from a Himalayan yogi’s devotee... [this] record remains true to tradition..."

5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisitely Beautiful, November 27, 2004
This is one of the best New Age/Kirtan CDs of recent years. The final track, "Rama Rama" is one of the most achingly beautiful songs I've ever heard. It's as if you're listening to Sita, the legendary heroine of the epic Ramayana, actually calling for her husband Rama, who's half a world away. Ragani is one of the most inspired artists in the new genre of Western kirtan music. I play this CD often.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly beautiful. Nice change of pace from other kirtan, January 31, 2005
I thought no other kirtan style music could even compare to Krishna Das (whom I love dearly), but Ragani's voice is so beautiful. This CD is enchanting so much so that I cannot seem to tire of listening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of Both Worlds truly is a fine blend of traditional Indian chants and modern recording, June 24, 2006
What immediately strikes me about this recording is Ragani's sincere devotion to her guru and to the divine. This is evidenced in the opening mantra, the Akhanda Prayer, a beautiful prayer to the Guru. All of these chants are infused with Ragani's sincerity as a bhakta and I feel as though I am hearing a seasoned yogini when I listen to this fine collection of chants.
Especially appealing to me is the shift from a slow repetition of the Name to an accelerated and ecstatic repetition. The gradual acceleration has the effect of locking my mind's attention onto the mantra so that by the time the chant ends, my mind is subdued and I experience the peace brought about by the chant. My particular favorites are Sita Ram and Shiva Hara. Whereas Sita Ram is intense, by contrast Shiva Hara is light and uplifting. In addition, the chants on this CD are all in call in response style which makes participation in the chants very easy.
