Borrowed the audiobook from a friend, was great for unwinding, but it wasn't that interesting.

I just finished listening to this audiobook and I'm so grateful to have found it. Beautifully explained world of sound, author's voice is something I can listen to for days on end. Mantras are an essential part of my spiritual development and I highly recommend this book to anyone on the spiritual path.

Excellent book on how to understand and construct Sanskrit to form Mantra. Sanskrit is a language comparable to Mathematics. It has an energetic resonance that just works, it doesn't require belief, just consistency and repetition to work.

I'm currently on my 2nd read of this useful book.

An exhaustive yet highly approachable introduction to mantra that deftly situates this ancient technique firmly in the presence. And I can't overstate the usefulness of the audio examples!

Audio book, What? No sales pitch? more emphasis on the teaching and less on the story or testimony aspect,(necessary but sometimes there is too much story and not enough actionable participation) I was sad to see his site to get access to his library is down.and he has been dead for much time now. He is one to be respected and celebrated for sharing very valuable knowledge. I feel lucky to have stumbled upon this one. It was very accessible. People can dive safely in for the most part no hurdles to jump no extraneous consumer goods to purchase.Just you and the words given.

A 12 session audiobook companion to his other book on mantra with traditional mantras, what to use them for and how to use them. He spends time chanting the mantras so you can hear the pronunciation and how to practice them. A great follow up to the written work.

Absolutely loving this book! I bought the audio version @ Audible but I definitely will purchase the real book version possibly even the hardcover.
