Samasati reviews Manish Vyas’ latest CD.

‘Shivoham’ is the eighth release of Manish Vyas’ own production and is just one more confirmation of the fine quality of his work. One would almost say that to define this CD is to know Manish, because each composition in the album has a story, has been a long journey, as he himself has explained. If one is sensitive enough, one can truly sense that music is his most innate way of expressing his being and sharing his soul.

Prem Geet reviews Anand Arun’s latest book and says, “A pocket-size treasure so packed with wisdom it reads like the ultimate owner’s manual for being human.”

Madhuri reviews five books: A Change of Heart, Healing Spirits, Healing Spirits, Eyes of an Angel, A. T. Still.

I just spent a month house-sitting for a wonderful healer who’d gone off to India: an osteopath/cranio-sacral practitioner named Sugandha, in Oadby, the Midlands. Her bookshelves are choc-a-bloc with books about Yoga, Tantra, Shamanism, etc, etc. I chose a little pile, and was immensely rewarded and nourished by the journeys I took within the books’ covers. I’ve even ordered some of them to give to friends. So I thought I’d like to share here too…

Review of Arjuna’s (John Hogue) recently published 43rd book, addressing the August 21 solar eclipse over America, past events during eclipses and prophecies, with the last chapter devoted to Osho’s understandings.

Bhagawati reviews Deva Abhiyana’s newly released book.

It’s a pleasure to introduce you to this exhilarating and encompassing story of an inimitable life that begins with a small boy growing up in a middle-class Jewish family in San Francisco. I think it is the first autobiography ever written by a sannyasin of Jewish background – yet there is none of the traditional bred-in kvetching, barely any guilt peeking from behind a corner but instead lots of humor – in spite of the arduous and long time it takes for the relationship with his father to be resolved.

Paul Terrell reviews Ravi’s latest album.

Ravi has produced many devotional and world music albums often with a focus on his kora playing. Songs for the Golden Age, has many trademarks of his previous work, the beautiful arrangements, exceptional musicianship and exquisite production. In everything else this collection of songs represent a quantum shift, a maturity and a coming of age. The songs speak directly to the heart and soul, carried by a voice that has become even more beguiling, sensitive and refined.
