There are many things about this album that attract me, notably the symbolic love of Radha and Krishna. I am a highly sensual person and value the sensual feelings no less than the spiritual experience, and vice versa. And for a personal like me who doesnt divide sensual and spiritual world, albums like Shelter take away the heart at first listening.

The album has 8 tracks, listed below:

1. Gauranga Karuna
2. Ar Koto Kal
3. Narada Muni
4. Jaya Radha
5. Panduranga
6. Arunodaya
7. Daniatmika
8. Vaishnava Vijnapti

As I have titled this post, this album is DEVOTIONALLY SENSUAL and if you

have any difficulty in understanding this new term, you have to listen the tracks to make sense of this phrase. I personally rate Jaya Radha higher than the other tracks and it carries to me to world where I melt in/ with love. A final word of caution about the album,maybe NOTE is a better term: the track titles make an appearance as if you are to listen to a couple of sanskrit slogas or bhagans in traditional way. But don’t expect both of these in this album. vocalization of the lyric is not sharp ending with each word rather slurring between words.  I had trouble understanding the lyric of the tracks but as long as the music is soothing and enjoyable, it’s not a bid deal to me; how about you? you need to decide.

One of the frequently visited blog post on New Age Vibe is The Bolo Hari Craze: Dance of Shakti to Dakini Lounge. I wrote it when I began blogging at New Age Vibe and it was about the track Bolo Hari by Prem Joshua which was first featured in his album Dance of Shakti and later remixed in many other albums. The beauty of the post is that it talked not just about the track but went a little behind the scene by narrating some gossiping stories about Radha, the eternal lover of Krishna.

In the same line of Bola Hari, Rasa’s album Shelter captures this love mood of Radha and Krishna in a very enchanting way and I am just falling in love listening to it. I personally love to have pictures of Radha and Krishna (like the one above in the album cover) in my room for the symbolism that they both represent: LOVE — Love that doesn’t know the boundary of sensuality and devotion. Now I have added this music album to my collection for creating a beautiful personal atmosphere. More about Rasa’s Shetler will be discussed soon. Stay tuned Midos….
