"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.

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

Let me start by saying that this is the best album ever.....to get your enemies. They will be dead by the end of the album, guaranteed. In fact, I had to have the Kiss of Life administered by my ugly co-workers multiple times while listening to this travesty while at work.
However, I will say that I listen to this album a lot when I am upset, or angry. It makes me laugh, and instantly lightens my mood. I feel no matter how bleak the outlook, I am not Martin Sheen speaking with a hoarse earnestness ... Read More

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.

Rating: - 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!
