“The Sanskrit language was invented 5000 years ago to express what was and is inexpressible in any language. The invention of this language must be one of the wonders of the world. There is a mysterious force in Sanskrit. The words actually need no translation for the sound to penetrate the mind and reveal the spaciousness of pure consciousness. Martin plays and chants both tenderly and soulfully. Whatever you are holding in your mind, I invite you to give it to his beautiful chanting and let the music do its work. There is a power here that is recognizable - by you.”

“…A guy from Jersey privately recording music from a tradition thousands of miles and years distant – what are the odds he’s great?
He is great. There’s no look-at-me in his voice. Martin dissolves into the chants, and becomes them, and then it’s over. I emerge, blinking, delighted by the lack of ego…
In my case, it ends up on my CD [player], in heavy rotation, as a morning cleanser or late night comfort. It’s not a wonder drug; it doesn’t banish the world or bring lasting peace. But it point a way, soothes the soul – it gets the immediate job done. What a wonderful medium this is that brings a Martin Wolff into my life. And how great it is that I can alert you to a potentially valuable CD you’re not likely to find anywhere else.”

“I have been recording with Deepa Nair this week (she sang on George Harrison’s/Ravi Shankar’s Chants Of India album) and she gave it [Shakti~Bhakti] the thumbs up for pronunciation. That is quite an achievement, and I can imagine the discipline and devotion gone into getting your phrases just right.”

“Thank you and congratulations on this beautiful production. I heard the CD early this afternoon during Navaratri – the 9-night worship of the Divine Mother. You have really sung the shlokas beautifully…it was very calming, deep, making the wisdom of the Upanishads come alive when you hear it. Especially the Ganesha Upanishads and Rudram were vibrant. The strains of the Tambura were as Bhagavan puts it, the sound of the atma – the background drone is the eternal witness.”
