Product Description: "The innocence of my life releases the God I love everywhere." These are the words of Rumi, 13th-century poet and founder of the Whirling Dervishes of Sufism, as spoken by the mature and melodious voice of Rosa Parks. Her voice, American history, those words, intense longing: Power. In celebration of the human spirit, The Gift of Love is a recitation of the love poems of Rumi by Dr. Chopra and celebrity friends, including Madonna, Goldie Hawn, and Robert A.F. Thurman. Sensual Middle Eastern-influenced music backs the reading and provides breaks between sections such as "Love Drunk" and "The Light of Love." The Gift of Love is sincere and potent stuff, unafraid of the deep physical, spiritual, and mental hunger that Rumi's words not only taste, but roll about the tongue and swallow whole. --Paige La Grone

Customer Reviews
Hearts Hidden Treasure - Excellent
Indeed it's A Gift of Love from God to humanity.
From all directions the seeker will be attacked by the power of Love and will not be able to resist being touched by this Love on the deepest level of its Heart.
I would recommend this CD to every spiritual seeker on the path of return.
Thank you to all for their efforts on making this CD as professionally as they did. It was a jewel, truly heartfelt, inspiring, "a silent love in the spark of life"...
Thank you

Incredible CD
This is the best CD I have ever purchased, in fact I have two copies of it as the first one was used and a little crackly. I listen to it on headphones at night in bed and I am totally transported by it. It moves me to the same place my meditation does, it is fabulous, do not hesitate to buy it. If I could give it 10 stars I would.It will give you chills!

It's about the presentation
Rumi's poetry is supreme. That said, the question becomes how is it being presented? Dr. Chopra and friends are respectful of the material. I find, however, especially upon repeat listenings, that Dr. Chopra's English is difficult to listen to and at times can sound strained- like lisping in English. I would suggest Coleman Barks for spoken Rumi recordings and Daniel Ladinsky's CD of spoken Hafiz poetry before this recording by Dr. Chopra.

The best poetry with music I've heard
This became a favorite as soon as I heard it when it first came out. Something about the words and music touch deep unexplained emotions. Deepak's voice is so soothing. This is a replacement for a copy I lost.

Pseudo spiritualism
This is a junk product, a "murder of culture" as one review (too) nicely put it. A group of pseudo spiritual characters gathered to stuff even more money into their already fat bank accounts. Madonna? Demi Moore? Topped by Shallow-ak Chopra? Gimme a break...
P.S. what the heck was Martin Sheen thinking?
