DescriptionImagine knowing that you came into this world as a divine messenger with a divine mission. In his introduction, Deepak Chopra describes Shree Maa as "one of the great woman saints in contemporary history". Although she prefers the solitude of spiritual discipline and 12 to 14 hours of prayer and meditation each day, Shree Maa?s advice is sought by leaders of industry, business, politics, and education.

Shree Maa and Deepak Chopra are joined by a talented group of musicians for an inspiring set of songs and chants. Whether you simply listen, sing along, or jump up and dance, the music and its message offer a sense of bliss and enlightenment beyond compare.

DescriptionIn this remarkable dialogue between Hidayat Inayat-Khan and Deepak Chopra, M.D., the wisdom of the Sufis is appraised. Hidayat defines the word Sufi as "wisdom and purity". He explains that "any person whose heart is attuned to the Divine presence is a Sufi, because Sufism means purifying oneself and one's mind from preconceived ideas". These two great teachers discuss the fact that the spiritual message of the Sufis has always found its way to express itself through music and poetry, illuminations of life's expression, and Sufism is now gathering a great deal of popularity in the West. The Sufi Universe is the home of all religions, all beliefs, and all lovers of truth, without distinction between race, color, or nationality!
