An extensive booklet with translations of the text provides excellent background and understanding for these beautiful and lengthy chants. Shri Ram is the embodiment of the ideal man, the epitome of all that is good, true and righteous. The centerpiece of this album is the recitation of the 108 names of Shri Ram as detailed in the Ramayana, one of the greatest epics of Hinduism. By far the longest piece is the 26-minute 'Rama Raksha Stotra," with the chorus of many voices carrying it ever upward in a seemingly endless stream of devotional singing. The ideal accompanying instrumentation offers delightful interludes between the spiritual chants and mantras. Produced and recorded in India by Times Music - India.
