notes
This new pressing of the CD includes a special remix of Govinda Jaya Jaya by Mac Quayle
The chant world is about to take another leap into full accessibility with the pioneering and thoroughly earthshaking production of Donna DeLory's new CD, "The Lover and the Beloved...This is the real thing, an experience of listening that is magical from the inside out, sure to be a close companion for a long time to come.
- Lloyd Barde, Backroads Music -
Multi-layered production with attention to detail, soaring vocals that are dynamic one moment, subtly whispered the next; Donna De Lory delivers a euphorically dance influenced album of tremendous intensity and soul. Not content with the simplicity of chants, "The Lover & The Beloved" supplies a deep and varied percussion bed in which to swaddle oneself and groove the night away.
- Yogi Times -
This is a must-have for any spiritual guru and yoga enthusiast. The Lover and the Beloved is an entire album of mantra. For those of you who have not experienced the healing and meditative power of music, this is a beautiful collection of songs for you to begin your transcendental journey.
- Jennifer Corday, Orange County Register -

Amazing - by far the best CD I now own. I look forward to purchasing more of Donna's CD's. Donna, Thanks for making this album and congratulations on your baby girl Sofia. Such a beautiful name :)
Beautiful and Inspiring
author: JinI found Donna on Ajna music after reading yoga journal and based solely on the clips that I heard I bought the Cd right away. Her stunning voice and palpable spirituality make this cd one of the greatest that I've ever bought. It's light and dark tones are enough to fit any mood and inspire any soul for yoga, meditation, sleep or starting out the day.
a very pleasant surprise
author: chipperI heard one cut of Donna's The Lover and The Beloved CD played on the RadioIO Ambient website. None of the local stores had it in stock so I decided to order it from CDBaby and I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I like the entire production. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys hearing the singing of the name of God and wants to open their heart.
It is AWESOME!!
author: EllenI am a seasoned listener of Mantra Chanting & this was by far the most beautiful voice & inspiring interpretation of the familiar chants that I have listened to for years....AWESOME....
Lifted my energy level up 50 levels
author: ToniThis CD has me soaring high at my highest vibrational level. It soaks into my skin and through my soul. One of the greatest Cd's I have heard to date.
great voice, lovely melodies, mellow beats
author: DeclanWas very pleasantly surprised with this cd, bought it on a bit of a whim though i had enjoyed the previews i listened to on the site. Have found myself playing it at all times of the day - coming and going to and from work, getting ready in the mornings, in bed last thing at night. Donna's voice is really soothing and the melodies and repetative mantras are really calming to listen to. Recommended.
Lovely, pure voice
author: LianaGreat music to teach my yoga class to! It's wonderful to have another female kirtan singer. This Cd was absolutely lovely. The arrangements are awesome!
unforgettable
author: RochelleHeard this in my Kundalini class at the yoga studio where I practise and found it quite unforgettable. Equally modern as it is classic, it was love at first listen for me!
pure beauty, filled with yearning and love
author: milijanaI listened to this cd over and over, repeatedly as if it was soothing my soul and calling it forth to remember all that is Real, all that is Beauty all that is Truth and all that is the pure essence of Love. It's simplicity and gentleness leaves a lasting imprint of the beauty and joy of knowing the Divine.
it's like to be invited in her home
author: Paolo1st sorry for my english, I am italian. What can I say about this cd? Is like a saturday night, when your friend invited at their house, you sit on the floor and you start to talk about serious stories of your life and you realize that others people find themselves in your words and others have pass through that experiences and finally something that you put in the room of your mind near pain or away from knowledge, become happiness of changing an make all these story funny. Thanks Donna for invited us in your home. Paolo P.s: hope that is clear, english is not my language
pure emotions
author: jyfrozI really love this cd : great musicians, great singer,... you put a spell on me ! thank you...
Great cd!
author: RoyDonna's voice is perfect for these Sanskrit Mantras. Beautiful. If you like Madonna's Shanti/Ashtangi you will love this.
Wow she did it again ....
author: Chris DannattSome of the chants on the album you may have heard before if you have every seen Donna live, the album truly make you understand why Donna is such a great musician. The Voice, the band and the sound they create are just incredible. After listening to Donna last studio release's 'Bliss' and 'In the Glow' I did not believe that it could get any better and again she proved us wrong.... This album should be in every great collection, but I guess because you are reading this review you have good taste anyway. God Bless Donna and her band and we cannot wait to see her here in Europe where she belongs – On the Stage Chris X
Plunge in - It Truly is Worth It!
author: Vedran MihicDonna De Lory`s new devotional record truly is a suprise! Almost the entire thing is in Sanskrit, true to the original texts. De Lory delivers traditional lyrics to the modern audiences with such a credibility and devotion, it`s hard to resist. This is gentle, soothing music. Not the kind of cafè ethno-fusion that has flourished since the end of the 90`s, but a delicious record, by an artist who communicates integrity. The sound is modern, with just a tinge of electronic sounds, but it still works well with the traditional texts. De Lory has added some English lyrics and it actually works splendidly, like in the beautiful Om Namah Shivaya. She makes you believe that she believes! This record does things to you... Gentle and inspireing. Thanks Donna.
Amazingly Great!
author: ÀngelWhen I listened to the previews, the clips were beautiful, but when I received the entire piece of art, I was totally in love with it: This has magic on it, once you play it you can't stop listening to it! Donna's voice has enchanted me! It's simply DIVINE!.
Amazing CD by an Amazingly talented musician
author: DonniiThis CD is an amazing work of art. The songs, while lyrically simple are amazingly smooth and mellow. They fit a variety of situations and really help you to lift your spirits. The notes are also very informative! Do yourself a favor, get this CD ASAP! You won't be sorry

Addictive--in a good way!
author: JoliI have been waiting to buy this CD ever since I read about it in Yoga Journal, and it has certainly been worth the wait! I start my mornings listening to this CD, and pop it in again in the afternoons when I am studying, or getting stressed out by the day's cares... And the delivery was F A S T--thank you for both the great service and the wonderful CD!
Simply beautiful...
author: Lauren RowlandWhat a wonderful CD. The music is beautiful, uplifting & spiritual. I played it in my yoga class & my students loved it. About 5 people asked me who it was & where they could get a copy. Despite being an overseas order, it arrived very promptly. I'm impressed!
An "Angelic" voice of pure tranquility........
author: R MaxwellThe music on this cd makes you realize that the soul is the body and not the other way around. I start my morning with this cd and I end my evening with it. Donna is blessed with a voice that generates the energy of God within you.
