Breathtaking!
Buy Anand (Anand means 'Bliss' in Sanskrit) and listen for yourself. If you aren't moved to tears and cannot appreciate the beauty of what you are experiencing, then you better check your pulse! If you do have a pulse, I'm sure you will not fail to sense Snatam Kaur's connection with the sacred. This is heartfelt, spiritual music in the purest sense of the word. It will enrich your life. I also highly recommend her 2002 album Prem (Prem is from the Sanskrit 'Preman', meaning 'Divine Love'), which is also a gem to behold. Societal commentary: Snatam is the antidote to American Idol that you've been waiting for... often, artists of true substance are eclipsed by what is more popular, marketable, or more pleasing to the ear on a superficial level. To me, Snatam has turned this equation upside down: She's all about substance, and to my ear, she can sing circles around any 'American Idol' star...

Fan from Down Under says "It's a ripper"!
I have no idea what the bloke below is talking about. Once again, the Sikh Princess is back in the house with an absolutely fantastic album! Good for listening, meditation and general relaxation! Anyone, regardless of whether you believe in god or not, can listen to this CD and feel a sense of peace and a deeper connection to their soul. If you've heard her previous stuff, it is different from that (as always) which is a good thing. Thanks Snatam!

Disappointing
With albums such as Grace and Shanti, I was really impressed with the direction that Snatam Kaur was going in. In the enjoyment of her music, and with the release of this new album, I decided that I must purchase Anand. However, after listening to this album, there is nothing really new. In fact, the melodies are repeated and repeated with no movement and direction, and the content is also very repetitive. At least with songs in Grace and Shanti, and also Prem, there is variety in her music. So for me, Anand is not really one of the best albums. With such a wonderful voice, I would expect Snatam to involve more creative writers to allow her to develop her true potential

PROFOUND AND AMAZINGLY SPIRITUAL
THIS CD IS THE BEST EVER OF SNATAM KAURS. SHE HAS OUTDONE HERSELF THIS TIME! YOU CAN ACTUALLY FEEL HER SPIRIT AS SHE SINGS THESE SONGS. SHE IS AN AMAZING PERSON AS WELL AS SINGER. IF YOU NEED TO GAIN SOME PEACE IN YOUR LIFE OR JUST WANT TO DO A LITTLE SOUL SEARCHING, THEN THIS IS THE DISC FOR YOU. SIT BACK, LISTEN AND ENJOY AS HER SPIRIT AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD FILL YOU FROM HEAD TO TOE WITH PEACE AND TRANQUILITY.

Amazing voice
You can feel the tranquality flowing to sooth mind and body. Highly recommend.
