Product Description

From Amazon.com

"The innocence of my life releases the God I love everywhere." These are the words of Rumi, 13th-century poet and founder of the Whirling Dervishes of Sufism, as spoken by the mature and melodious voice of Rosa Parks. Her voice, American history, those words, intense longing: Power. In celebration of the human spirit, The Gift of Love is a recitation of the love poems of Rumi by Dr. Chopra and celebrity friends, including Madonna, Goldie Hawn, and Robert A.F. Thurman. Sensual Middle Eastern-influenced music backs the reading and provides breaks between sections such as "Love Drunk" and "The Light of Love." The Gift of Love is sincere and potent stuff, unafraid of the deep physical, spiritual, and mental hunger that Rumi's words not only taste, but roll about the tongue and swallow whole. --Paige La Grone


CD Description

It wouldn't be remiss to ask: Is A GIFT OF LOVE a meditation on erotic longing, a glorious paean to the Almighty? The answer is: both. The CD, like Jelaleddin Rumi's poetry, manages to be different things to different people. Here bite-size samples of Sufi wisdom cover a range of ideas, from "Desire", to "A Lover's Madness", to "Supreme Lover".
Deepak Chopra's album features the voices of Madonna, Demi Moore, Martin Sheen, and other stars, providing the project with instant allure, while bringing in a little street cred via civilrights activist Rosa Parks and Buddhist scholar Robert Thurman. Chopra would have been wise to hand over his own readings to the other performers, but overall, the album makes a good introduction to these timeless 13th century verses, and the accompanying music is danceable in its own right.

5.0 out of 5 stars " If music be the food of love... play on ", 11 April 2002
By Mr. Alan J. Foster (Bexhill-On-Sea, East Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Having admired the works of both Rumi and Dr.Deepak Chopra for many years I was eager to
get my hands on this C.D. I could not begin to
imagine how the passion of Rumi could be captured
through the medium of music. From the moment of the very first note on this album to the very last
I was totally absorbed. This wonderfully magical and deeply moving work should be heard by everyone on a spiritual quest. There must be a temptation when considering an undertaking of this
magnitude to indulge and go way over the top, thankfully, this has not happened.
A glorious fusion of deeply hypnotic sound and
contemplative verse make this album not so much
a listening pleasure (though it surely is) as something that must be experienced. This is not
one of those "late night" C.D.'s that we all have in our collections, it must be heard and absorbed
into the conscience where, like all great works it will heal and nourish the soul. I cannot recommend this album highly enough, if you only
buy one more album in your lifetime, make it this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, Just Beautiful, 15 Oct 2004
By C A Fraser (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This is simply the most beautiful sound I ever heard. Give it to the one you love and you will both tanscend this earthly world and float in a sea of love. It is magical and evocative and everyone should hear it. Its pure escapism and yet it reminds us what is real. We should send it to the world leaders so they might realise that life is love, no more, no less.

5.0 out of 5 stars A treat for the senses., 19 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This work of the Persian mystic Rumi is one of the best musical /poetic works where Rumis poetry is set to the background of very sensuous music making the CD a treat both for music lovers and lovers of poetry.I cant recommend it highly enough.
