But it functions equally well as meditation background and ideally for yoga practice and chant. The perfect album for listeners who want to infuse the divine love of yogic chant into their daily life, Lakshmi's music can pass for adult alternative rock in the mellow female-vocalist vein.

Lakshmi's voice is layered with pitches that blend into the slowly squiggling synthesizer drones until breath and machine are one, and all flows into a beautiful perfumed now full of love and energy. "Sri Vrndavan" turns an ancient chant into a complexly layered harmony-based pop song, with a chorus section of glittering sitars and swirling Indian flutes. Opener "Brahma Shanti" finds Lakshmi singing the kirtan over a slow tempo with Priyo's warm classical guitar brooding beside her, providing a nice solo amid sitar and flute. Longtime collaborator Deva Priyo accompanies her on classical guitar and sarod, and Daniel Paul contributes some excellent tabla passages. For Sublime she works with noted world-music producer Steve Gordon to widen her sonic palette toward vast electronic expanses and beauty. She blends traditional chants with electronic and Indian acoustic instruments, sampling and layering vocals to create a mood that glows with pink-and-blue cloud-style joy. A treasure among kirtan (yogic group chant) singers, Jaya Lakshmi, from Hawaii, crafts elegant, emotional, and musically diverse songs that celebrate the divine.
