“Breath Of My Soul” by Manohara with Gordon Burnham is a live recording of the 3rd Annual Veteran’s
Day Peace Chant.
Manohara was previously known as "The Gandharvas" but needed to change the name because of confusion with a previous band by that name.
This is a very rhythmic and engaging performance, mostly Sanskrit kirtans with a few intense and heartfelt slow universal spiritual songs. A mystical and magical evening of chant and song.

"In the realm of New Age Music,
SOUL DANCE, stands out as a truly fresh
and genuine expression of the heart and soul!" - MIGUEL PESOA, producer, Narada Records
Instrumental Music By Gordon Burnham &
Jim Richard
"Soul Dance" is New Age music at it's best! Sparkling
acoustic guitar by Gordon Burnham, rich, brilliant cello,
tasteful percussion, and ethereal keyboards by Jim Richards
will take your mind on a refreshing and healing journey.
Music can provide direct access to emotional and
spiritual experiences we rarely touch upon in our daily
lives, but so deeply need for our soul's fulfillment and our
healing as a whole being. This music was born of
a desire to feel and express the yearning in all of us
to be whole, and the joy of being moved into that realm
through music! Each of these songs has a strong theme
and emotional depth that will make your heart sing and
your soul dance! "Soul Dance" is a vivid tapestry of sound
and emotion, a song from the depths of the human spirit,
an echo from the depths of the human heart.
"Joyful Noise" is very
rhythmic and upbeat, with strong world music influences
from Africa, India, Latin America, and the Native American
People. Two of the chants are drawn from traditional Omaha
Native American lyrics. These songs have an irresistible
beat and a penetrating message about our Mother earth,
our earth family and the one Source of life and creation.
World
Chants
"World Chants" reflects the practice
by all world cultures and religions, of using music to
reach and experience a higher state of consciousness and
wellness. Various chants included are Buddhist (Om Mani
Padme Hum), Hindu (Jai Kali Ma), Jewish (All This World
is Just a Narrow Bridge), Christian (We Are One in the
Spirit). Recorded live in the Temple of the Universal
Spirit, in Cohasset, MA. with the Vedanta Centre
Choir.
"Inner Massage" is actually one
long, slow moving river of sound that is grounding, centering,
healing, and calming. All "primitive" cultures have understood
the transforming power of droning sounds, from the dijerido
of Australia, the drums of Africa and Native Americans,
to the tamboura of India. The one "Song" on this album
is called "Tonz & Dronz", because it is basically
composed of long deep droning sounds with a slow soothing
melody woven throughout. Inner Massage creates an excellent
atmosphere for chanting, meditation, guided imagery, acupuncture,
body work, hypnotherapy and deep relaxation. Each side
is 50 minutes long, for normal therapeutic timeframes.

opens the heart to the love and compassion of the universe" - JOAN BORYSENKO, author, "Minding the Body,
Mending the Mind"...Etc.!
