What people are saying about Jewel of Hari
'A beautiful soothing sound. Jaya's melodic voice blends in with the flamenco guitar and rich middle eastern sounds creating a sensual relaxing sound. Great CD!!'
- Laura Wandrie, NewAge Journal
'Jaya Lakshmi is, without a doubt, one of the most innovative, up-and-coming artists in the realm of contemporary chant music. Spiritual as well as sensual, her music is an intoxicating mix of mystical sonorities: ethereal Vedic chants that lift the soul up high, percolating tabla beats that make you want to move, cutting edge dance grooves, harmonium drones and even a little Gypsy spice thanks to the use of flamenco guitar. It's music for dance and deep trance all wrapped up in one, providing the perfect accompaniment for yoga, ecstatic dance or chilling out.'

'Jaya Lakshmi is one of the great voices in contemporary world fusion music. On Jewel of Hari, her second solo album, she performs traditional chants and original music with passion and devotion that will resonate with all listeners. Lakshmi's divine musical vision requires a wealth of musicians playing a wide array of traditional Indian instruments. The sarod, tabla, and harmonium add an authentic flavor to tracks like the traditional devotional chants "Ramachandra" and "Radhe Pranam." Her original songs, like "By Your Grace" and "Govinda Hari," are all beautiful, modern tracks that fit in seamlessly with her concept of Asian-lounge fusion. Her lush, hypnotic vocals are comparable to the best work of Enya or Sarah McLachlan. Fans of those artists who are open to new talents, would do well to seek out this recording.'

'Beautiful relaxing world music with lots of Indian chants, tablas, guitars and some other fine delicacies from the warm beaches of this country will bring the sun straight back to your heart. This is the ideal sound with a holiday feeling to relax and chill out, a nice alteration to the busy life in our metropolises. Magic sounds with healing energy, melodies, which will be understood all over the world, deep and soft and sometimes esoteric.'

'If I was a DJ, spinning poolside
or at a little café overlooking the ocean or a lake,
I'd have this cued up on one of my CD players at all times…everyone
is relaxed and smiling and on vacation all the time…harmonious
vocals weave in and out of assorted mellow organic-sounding
elements. Jya Lakshmi sings ancient Vedic in a clear and
beautiful voice which radiates happiness. Think of India,
or a very cool Yoga class. Can you tell I've just given
in to liking this CD? Not knowing what is being said in
the lyrics frees me to just listen to the music. I've always
been a big fan of non-vocal music, and now I'm a fan of
this CD. If you like exploring different cultures musically,
acoustic guitar and female vocals, you should give this
CD a listen'
