In his introduction, Deepak Chopra describes Shree Maa as one of the great woman saints in contemporary history whose first recollection was the voice of 19th-century saint Shree Ramakrishna saying, "You've got to show what divine life means, what is spiritual practice." With that instruction, Shree Maa's journey on planet Earth began. Although she prefers the solitude of spiritual discipline and 12 to 14 hours of prayer and meditation each day, Shree Maa's advice is sought by leaders of industry, business, politics, and education. Yet she remains the simple, objective friend of the universe who wants nothing more than to share her life of prayer with everyone. On this tape, Shree Maa and Deepak Chopra are joined by a talented group of musicians for an inspiring set of songs and chants. Whether you simply listen, sing along, or jump up and dance, the music and its message offer a sense of bliss and enlightenment beyond compare.
