"Uma Mohan's 2013 album, Isha, is a spiritual journey through the rich tapestry of devotional music and bhajans. This collection of nine tracks, released under Times Music, offers a serene and uplifting experience, lasting a full hour. Each song is a beautifully rendered chant or mantra, showcasing Uma Mohan's soulful voice and deep connection to the sacred texts.
The album begins with the Ganesha Moolamantra, a powerful invocation to Lord Ganesha, followed by the profound Eshavasya Upanishad. Tracks like Surya Namaskaram and Purusha Sooktam pay homage to the sun and the cosmic being, respectively, while the Gayatri Mahamantra offers a meditative interlude. The album also includes the heartfelt Venkatesha Prapati and the serene Esha Upanishad Ganapata, culminating in the joyous Jai Jagadeesha Hare.
Uma Mohan's Isha is not just an album; it's an exploration of ancient wisdom and divine devotion, perfect for those seeking spiritual solace and musical beauty. Whether you're a longtime fan of devotional music or new to the genre, this album promises a deeply moving and enriching listening experience."
