Dancing with Siva Mantra Music

About the Artist
Sri Siva is the spiritual name given to Dr. Baskaran Pillai. Sri Siva is the first master from his tradition who has carried these secret teachings to people of the West. Concurrently with his mystic practices, he continued with his education in the university system and became a Research Fellow at the University of Madurai in India. His formal academic training in India resulted in a Master's Degree in English literature and a Master of Letters in Comparative literature from the University of Madurai, India. In 1983, he came to America and began graduate level studies concluding in a PhD in Religious Studies from the University of Pittsburgh. A practical guru for the 21st century, Sri Siva has lived in the West for the past 20 years and has observed the frustrations and confusions of modern society. As the Siddha mantras have never been published, the mystical teachings can only be passed on by word of mouth. The first individual to be given permission to teach these meditations was Dr. Wayne Dyer. Sri Siva, who remained in silence for a long period, is now coming forth to teach this powerful wisdom himself. He wanted to offer ancient practices in a modern form to help people both spiritually and materially. The Dancing with Siva Mantras and Music CD does just that. It offers the listener ancient, consciousness-expanding mantras set to modern music with an international flavor.

Rockin' Out with Siva.......2007-02-27

"Nearly all cultures of the world have some form of dancing & music as expressions of celebration and joy. Baba Sri Siva wishes to share the blessings and power of the divine through ancient mantras from enlightened tantric traditions in India. These timeless mantras invoke different aspects of the divine as represented in the Hindu mythology..."

This introductory note in DANCING WITH SIVA is applicable to all mantra music (a popular genre that continues to evolve with the fusion of Western elements.)

Baba Sri Siva introduces the 12 songs on the CD & he is also the lead vocalist. The introductions are brief & to the point. The feeling he conveys is that he is acting as your personal guru, guiding the listener through each mantra. He has a very pleasant singing voice.

Among other fantastic things, Sri Siva claims the mantras have the ability to solve personal problems ranging from "karma busting" to eliminating credit card debt! Well, we're not going there in this brief overview. The bottom line is that the CD is immensely enjoyable.

The mantra JOTI that is geared to stimulate compassion of Siva is beautiful & goes right to the heart chakra.

KLEEM (karma bursting) absolutely ROCKS OUT!

From the 100 + mantra CDs in my collection, I always return to DANCING WITH SIVA again & again.

one man's ceiling is another man's floor.......2006-06-06

i enjoy global beat world music (whatever that means), and have collected a fair amount of it. after reading the favorable reviews for this recording, i enthusiastically ordered it. i just listened to it and was very disappointed. perhaps i missed something, but as a musician, i found the musical renderings of these mantras mostly trite. there were a couple of moments that showed promise, but it quickly fell into banality. for my taste, there was too much electronic instrumentation used without much of a demonstration of experience. electronic instrumentation can be used to good effect, but i longed for more ethnic, real instruments with a little enhancement from electronic sound. i did not even have enough interest to pinpoint where those good moments were. listen to gifted mixologist dj cheb i sabbah or russill paul if you want this type of ilk--and without the comments at the beginning of each track. there really should be a warning that there is information verbally conveyed at the beginning of each track. for those individuals who wish to incorporate the mantras in some way, i suppose it might be inspiring. however, musically it falls flat. but, depending on your taste, and your purpose, this recording might be for you. for people who have experienced a fair amount of excellent world music fusions, and have refined their tastes, this would most likely be a huge disappointment--save your money!

I love Sri SIva! revolutionary,uplifting, energizing, and funky.......2005-10-28

Baba Sri Siva hits a home run... this is a great album with a lot of funky techno beats put to traditional mantras like trayambakam, arut perum jyoti and mantras new to me like one to Muruga called Aum Saum Saravanabavaya.I love listening to this innovative album combining tradition with techno beats. it lifts my mood in the morning while driving, especially in traffic, and is a welcome change to the negative repettive drudgery foudn on typical radio stations. I highly recommend this album to anyone just to try something new and different. definitely this would be a treat to people into meditative yoga who also like modern techno beats. Siva Baba breaks through limiting conceps once again...
OM SIVA BABA SWAHA!

Fun and Unusual Combo of Mantra & Techno Beat.......2004-12-18

I stumbled upon a number of cuts from the "Dancing with Siva" CD in the free music download section of Amazon and was immediately intrigued by the combination of mantra with an edgy world/techno sound. This isn't your typical soft, soothing, chanting CD - and that's what I love about it. At first, I fell in love with "Triumbakum" and "Sharaba", but after a few plays, I can't really say I have one favorite in particular. "Vasi", "Saravanabavaya", "Kleem", "Sharaba"... Who can choose?! They're all great. To me, the music itself is hypnotic and engaging; so if you're not a fan of mantra music, the mantras seem almost secondary. If you want a musical style comparison, one could sort of be made to Bhagavan Das' "Now".

Really Neat!.......2004-01-09

The techno/re-mixing on this CD took me aback at first, mixed so with the Holy Mantras. I wasn't sure about that. But as I listened deeply, I saw that each one was perfect for each mantra-song. In particular, the Lakshmi (Shreem) mantra-song is quite beautiful, along with Ganesh, the Sun mantra (Gayatri), & Joti. All lovely and unique! The music accompanying the Pavarti's (Kleem) mantra is a bit too edgy and sharp. The whole idea of Westernizing these Holy Mantras so they get into the American consciousness is a GREAT idea, and couldn't come at a better time. Highly recommended.
