I generally don't like it when little "dialogues" (as in talking rather than music) or "explanations" and fabulous claims are inserted in Mantra CD. After all, the whole point of mantra is transcendence, going higher than the mundane, talky-talk plane. However, I don't mind it at all on this Gayatri CD. Rattan Sharma's remarks are brief and to the point--and only occur at the beginning. The rest of the CD explores various musical interpretations of the chant. At the risk of getting too wordy myself, let me just suggest that if you like mantra, you'll love this--and get it at this price before it goes up or the CD gets discontinued.

Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi
Dhiyo Yo Naha Prachodayat
On the absolute
reality and its planes,
On that finest spiritual light,
We meditate, as remover of obstacles
That it may inspire and enlighten us.
