Snatam has woven a magnificent tapestry of Gurmukhi, English, violin, guitar and flute and produced an album that is both spiritually moving and foot tapping at the same time. Like every Kundalini Yoga class, the album begins with the chant Ong Namo and unfolds with Snatam's flawless voice dancing over gentle flute, Indian violin, nylon string guitar and subtle keyboard. She weaves in devotional English lyrics such that one experiences the essence of the Gurmukhi chant with simple clarity. With deeply-moving music composed jointly by Thomas Barquee and Snatam Kaur, the second track, Ray Man, seduces listeners into a state of sublime meditation. The lyrics translate to "Oh my mind, practice yoga in this way." The third track, Hari Har, is the liveliest song Snatam has ever recorded. A fast-paced, drum-filled mantra that gets you up on your feet, this track introduces us to a much stronger side of Snatam's vocals. The next track, a simple and beautiful version of the healing meditation Ra Ma Da Sa, is accompanied by slow and soft classical guitar and keyboards with the flavor of a lazy river, gently flowing by on a summer afternoon. The final two tracks reveal the true cross-over nature of this album. Both in English, they are two songs very near to Snatam's heart. The first, By Thy Grace, has been a favorite at her live performances over the last year. This track sheds light on the title of the album, opening with the line "It is by the Grace that I sing Your Holy Name." Closing with an original composition of the Irish blessing, May the Long Time Sun Shine Upon You … a sweet and grace-filled farewell prayer. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Grace CDVery soothing and stress reducing. She has a beautiful voice and I am very happy with this purchase. Rating: - Takes me into the sound currentWOW! This CD is amazing. It transports me into the sound current and I feel so connected to the divine! The only thing better than her CD's is Snatam live in concert! This CD has been my favorite since I got it about 6 months ago. I never tire of it. Rating: - I like itAs far as Kundalini Music goes this is very good. It does not surpass Krishna Das but a few of her songs come really close to equaling some of his best songs. Rating: - Crystal Voice!Grace This is such a wonderful CD! I have been listening to it every morning as I work and her beautiful voice eases me into the swing of things! My favorite track is "By Thy Grace" where she merges Country, Sacred, Acoustic, Gospel, and Chanting into a rich flowing musical prayer! Viva! Rating: - Beautiful and BlissfulThis CD is so beautiful, and transports me to a blissful place...the music is so soothing and her voice is really beautiful and smooth. Not much else to say- it's just wonderful!!
