I grew up as a young child listening to these artists.. I even sent JLP an email when I was 8 or so asking for advice as a young musician. He emailed back a long letter of encouragement. I haven't heard these artists in many years and hearing them is bringing tears to my eyes and a flood of energy to my heart. Thank you for this.

This ensemble has enlightened my inner self. I feel empowered to go beyond the horizon as my spirit has been lifted by listening to this piece. I see the light and I can move delicately by the sounds of the Lotus Feet.

I was a teenager when I listened to this piece the first time at the time it was John Mclaughlin and Mahavishnu orchestra, I had this habit of listening to it every night before going to bed and it lasted 3- 4 years. For me it was the best version .

I agree with you, I think this is the best version. They are in flow I saw this version when this was actually being Live streamed on Facebook on International Jazz day. It was just a chance that I was online at that time.. I keep coming back to this recording time and again

I have been listening to my old master over and over for the last month. Thank you yet again, John. This is the last thing I hear every night before I fall into gentle slumbers... I saw you at the Capital Theater in Passaic, NJ, in 1970 - Back stage at Carnegie Hall with my friend Al di Meola For " in San Francisco" and many, many, many more happy shows such as Shukti.
