 Basic mantras December 1, 2008
Ashley-Farrand chants the mantras without making a big, spacey musical production out of it the way some others do.
Mantra for everyday problems September 13, 2008
Great explanation of mantras and how to use them, as well as, many mantras to use for most any problem
A slightly different review May 7, 2008

I would recommend this C.D., but I would say it is good to have the book that is sold separately. I have them both, and it helps clarify certain things when you have the book, and the C.D., in turn, helps you pronounce the mantras correctly. I have not listened to all the mantras on the C.D., and I focus on a particular one that I have decided to chant. Later on, through the use of the book, I will choose another mantra and listen to it on the C.D. I do use the Malas for countring my mantras (they are like rosaries, but have 108 beads instead of 54), and I got mine from e-bay.

Contrary to "A Customer" and DJ, I'd recommend both the CD and Book right off. I first took this CD and TA-F's book on Chakra Mantras, having had some experience w/ Kundalaini Yoga and thinking to spread out a tentative investment. That book is also quite good, though without being so well written to the Mantra beginner as is 'Healing Mantras'.
Right away, I found 'Healing Mantras' at a local bookstore and recognized my error. The CD's pamphlet is very brief. There's a vast universe living in the book.
Some vendors carry both as a set. Might as well go that way. The CD will help a lot with pronounciation And find yourself a Mala while you're at it.

Thomas Ashley-Farrand is a scholar, and his approach to explaining matras is scholarly. That does not mean he is detached. He has developed a deep interest and seems to believe in their efficacy. His writings and demonstration CD's are not meant for beginners in Hindu practice nor for those who have only a passing interest in Hindu ritual. For those, he perhaps explains too much in too much detail. However, for the serious student of Hinduism, you could not find a more expert study.
