One of the record reviews there says...
"Shri Amanda Ma is deeply devoted to the Hindu gods and to her guru. In
her album Divine Bliss she expresses her yearning to be close to god.
Shri Amanda Ma (whose name means "Bringer of Divine Bliss") was
considered a saint at a very early age. She composed these simple,
repetitious songs to accompany her own yearning. This album collects
eight of her devotional songs, most running 8 to 12 minutes, out of the
hundreds she has composed. Although the beauty of these songs cannot be
fully appreciated this side of the cultural barrier, anyone can
appreciate her marvelous voice, accompanied by dholak drums, tala
bells, the tamboura for the necessary drone, and harmonium for melody."
