set is for traditional bhajan purists only. From the CD cover: Taped live at
the Yogoda Satsanga Society Ranchi Ashram during a ceremony dedicated to the
Divine Mother of the Universe, this impromptu performance was simply recorded
with the equipment at hand. Authentic, hauntingly beautiful Bengali bhajans
take you on a musical and spiritual odyssey that moves through more than 30
different songs and prayers, led by the Sri. S.N. Sen and his wife Srimati Sen, (later Brahmacharini Mirabai), who were well known throughout India
for their stirring renditions of traditional Indian devotional music.
