Album Overview

Released in 1997 on Angel Records, Chants Of India is not a typical sitar-led raga album by Ravi Shankar. Instead, it’s a collection of sacred Vedic hymns, bhajans (devotional songs), and shlokas (verses) set to traditional Indian melodies. The album was produced and arranged by George Harrison (Shankar’s close friend and former Beatle), who also played acoustic guitar and provided subtle backing vocals on select tracks.

When you press play on Svara Mantra (The Sound of Om), the only1joe FLAC reveals the analogue warmth of the original recording. You don't just hear the chant; you feel the air moving in the studio. The voices of the chorus—traditionally recorded with a single stereo microphone array—float between your speakers with pinpoint accuracy. The resonance of the bass drone settles into your chest, while the high-frequency jingles of the tampura dance above your ears like fireflies. Ravi Shankar - Chants Of India 1997 only1joe FLAC

A Legacy of Peace

Chants of India was released just four years before George Harrison’s passing and a little over a decade before Ravi Shankar’s death. As such, it serves as a poignant capstone to their relationship. It is free of the commercial trappings of the 1990s music industry; there are no drum loops or electronic embellishments, just pure, acoustic devotion. Guide: Ravi Shankar — Chants of India (1997)
