Product Description
Volume One opens with Dr. Chopra discussing how language shapes material reality, influencing our beliefs and behavioral responses. He continues with a reading of sacred verses taken from The Bhagavad Gita, providing context and interpretation for contemporary listeners. The ancient verses provide knowledge and clarity — their power evoked through the very sounds of the words themselves. As one listens closely to the verses, their insights, intuitions, and physiological responses are revealed, bestowing peace, harmony, love, and healing. In Volume Two, Chopra reads a selection from the Vedas, the ancient collection of Sanskrit hymns and prayers. The Rig Veda is a classic Indian scripture filled with praise to the gods, the elements, and the bounty of the earth. Beginning with the hymn of creation and ending with the hymn of immortality, he takes listeners on an unforgettable journey across the vast expanse of consciousness.

 Very Abstract
Sacred Verses is very abstract. It is a recording of selected ancient Veda literature translated into English. The verses are very simple. I could have just read the Vedas in book form. I do not receive any benefit from listening to the Vedas on CD form other than becoming familiar with the content of the Vedas. I would not have purchased this CD had I had a chance to preview it first. It is useless knowledge unless you have the intent to study the Vedas. I had initially purchased the CD set to learn about the Vedas, but all I have learned is that the Vedas are simplistic prayers (my prayers are more meaningful). There is nothing to really benefit from listening to this CD set.
Chopra, however, presents a clear voice and diction.

 sacred verses, healing sounds
There is more talking than I anticipated, I thought it would be recited verses/songs, but is lots of Deepak talking over background music. I have a hard time listening to it, and would not recommend anyone buying it. This is the first Deepak product I have really been disappointed with.

 Disappointed
I was disappointed to discover Dr. Chopra's commentary throughout all three CD's. From the write up, I had expected educational commentary in the first parts followed by a more relaxing meditative series. It was not relaxing or meditative because one must listen intently to understand him and the three CD's are almost entirely background music for his educational commentary. Wish I could get my money back.

 Fantastic AudioBook!
This AudioBook is great! Inspirational, Soothing, and Informative! I have listened to this set a number of times, always finding something new. Deepak Chopra is a true master of pen and spirit.

 Meditation Intro ( krazykows )
If you're practicing Transcendental Meditation and have gone to a few lectures on TM, maybe even a residence course or two, you've probably been introduced to the Bhagavad Gita. Deepak tells the story of Arjuna and the conflict facing him as he goes to the battle field, the role of Krishna and ties this all together in a profound revelation of what the transcendent field is. It is an excellent refresher of some of the lectures given by Maharishi. Of course, Maharishi conveys the story from a different level of consciousness, the God level. Deepak tells the story more from the "awake" field of consciousness which is effective for non-meditators. He conveys the deeper meaning behind the stroy to great effect nevertheless. The means soooo much more, however, if you learn the practice of TM. This reading is also good for sidhas too as Deepak also brings out some pointers for this practice as well. This is also an excellent CD even if you'r not a practicing TMer. Deepak teaches meditation to the listener by using the breath as a mantra. The only drawback is the background sitar music. It's ok just for the first few times, but Deepak should say that in actual practice, the only condition for meditation is practicing it in silence.
