Amy of BC, Canada – you’ve won! Enjoy the music…
I told you carp(e) libris reviews would be adding indie music reviews and giveaways, and today we start! Our very first review is for the new Ragani CD, Ancient Spirit. It’s a perfect way to begin our music reviews as it encompasses much of what we’re looking for.
Ragani’s new music CD, Ancient Spirit, is the second of her kirtan series. Kirtan is an Indian style of call-and-response chants used in sacred devotionals. It is smooth, flowing, and completely relaxing. Ragani’s beautiful voice lends itself well to the deep spirituality of kirtan. Her graceful tone is followed by a response of a chanting group, back and forth, washing away the listener’s tensions.
My first listen of Ragani’s fourth CD, Ancient Spirit, no one in the room spoke for the first 20 minutes of the CD; it was mesmerizing. My 2 1/2 year old boy quietly listened too, and within moments he was fast asleep. By the time Ancient Spirit had finished, I felt as if I had just awoken from one of those rare naps that leaves you rejuvenated. The tension had left my muscles and I felt ready to go on with the rest of my day. A pleasantly surprising response; I’ve listened many more times to repeat the results!
Perfect for the yoga practitioner, the one in need of decompression after a long and stressful day, or the world traveler if only through music, Ragani’s Ancient Spirit will soothe the senses and delight the ears.
Ragani is kindly giving one carp(e) libris reviews listener an autographed copy of her Ancient Spirit CD. I’m very happy to have her work as our first musical giveaway.

Ragani’s music appeals to me because is reminds me of my yoga class which is the best part of my day!
It’s beautiful music.
Her music appeals to me because I can relax to it while I’m working. I especially like her quote, “It is my prayer that we all awaken to our hearts, and to the dreams we had before we came into this lifetime.” That is a nice prayer. Thanks for the giveaway!

It would be nice to win this, I just started a prenatal yoga class on Saturdays and would like something to listen to at home while I practice. I find her music soothing but a the same time with a nice up lifting beat too.

I am a subscriber. I enjoy listening to spiritual music.
Here is another entry for today and let me say that I would be so relaxed listening to this while I paint my room.
Besides being beautiful soul-touching music its effects on little ones begs one more mention. I think my son enjoys it more than I do!
