Customer reviews of Kirtan: The Art and Practice of Ecstatic Chant

Customer Rating: 
Summary: Serenity in a CD
Comment: I'm very new to Kirtan. But I stumbled onto this CD here at Amazon and just fell in love instantly with Jai's soft, tender voice.
I don't even understand any of the words or know why they are sung...but I DO know is I felt instantly wrapped in a silky, fluffy cloud of serenity, joy, and sweet mesmerizing serenity.
My favorite is Shri Krishna Govinda. It is a soothing lullaby-like song and really transports the listener to a relaxed, blissful state. Especially the last minute of it.
Beautiful, mind-expanding album!

Summary: I am becoming addicted to Kirtan
Comment: I am biased, extremely so. I went to a retreat with Jai Uttal, and I had one of the most wonderful times of my life. When I left, I went into severe Kirtan withdrawals; so I went to my local bookstore and bought "Kirtan: The Art and Practice of Ecstatic Chant"
Admittedly, chanting with a CD was not as beautiful as chanting with friends at the foot of Mount Jefferson in Oregon while Jai sat in front of us completely lost in his music. Nevertheless, I chanted along with the CD. And I and then I chanted some more. I chanted all the time. I even chanted in my dreams, seriously.
Rahde, Radhe Govinda. I had no idea what the words meant, nor did I really care. The more I chanted, the happier I felt. I was not even a Hindu and I still felt happy. The simple mantras sunk into my heart and I made them mine, literally.
I got out my guitar and started banging away with the CD. I became interested in the meaning of the words. And I became interested in the Hindu religion. I studied, and I am happy to say that my increased knowledge of Kirtan did not ruin my enjoyment of it. I am still not a Hindu. But I love these chants and I love this CD. I loved it so much that I gave it a friend. Now I better go buy another one. I miss it.
The only thing I didn't like about the CD is that Jai didn't play his harmonium. He is a good harmonium player. Jai, what were you thinking of? And it could have used a little harp music, as in harmonica. And, Jai, you may not know this, but I play the harp, not that I'm suggesting anything.
Thank you, John C. Conley, author of "Letters to My Friends: A No Guarantees Guide to Awakening."
