Path of the Divine

Path of the Divine by Rajendra Teredesai

A set of wild musical/soundscapes for when you need some quiet time for getting centered” —Midwest Record

Drawing upon traditional Indian ragas, while maintaining their pristine purity and simplicity, bansuri virtuoso Teredesai has masterfully and lovingly ventured down the Path of the Divine. An exquisite recording, suitable for meditation, yoga or restful repose.

“The music of my bamboo flute is dedicated to the spiritual seeker — the one who, in the formidable chaos of modern times, still strives to seek true peace and mental tranquility by connecting with the Divinity deep within and all around.”  —Rajendra Teredesai

Press Acclaim

Bill Binkelman

Bansuri flute virtuoso Rajendra Tere­desai’s follow-up to his acclaimed Real Music debut, Divine Dimension, is the sublime Path of the Divine. Once again collaborating with Rasull Soon (keyboards, chant, percussion, synth arrangements), the pair explore the deep, meditative heart of the Indian raga (notably the improvisational alap phase), fusing the traditional (bansuri, tabla, tamboura drone, bowls) with the ultra-contemporary (assorted electronic and ambient shadings and textures). The resultant musical magic hits the listener like intoxicating, enticing incense, trans­porting the mind to a state of relaxation and bliss. This CD is a must-have for your massage-therapist customers.

Bette Timm, Music Reviewer

Teredesai is a master of raga, India’s classical music.  In Sanskrit, raga means to color or dye, and here Teredesai paints our minds and emotions with passion. This is Teredesai’s second recording on the Real Music label, and it makes us long for more. Playing his bamboo flute with minimal accompaniment, and true to this recording’s title, he invokes the divine. Light keyboard, percussion and atmospheric sounds subtly enhance the melodic ragas, punctuated by just the right amount of silence between the notes. The result is a magical, deeply meditative experience.

Intricate beauty and meditative serenity entwine on Path of the Divine, bansuri flutist Rajendra Teredesai’s second release for Real Music. The music was inspired by the structure, tone and feeling of traditional Indian ragas, thus giving each of these pieces a gentle, uplifting quality that is both spiritual and ethereal. Teredesai’s flute is the central voice on the recording, around which subtle drone instruments and dreamy ambience flow. One of Teredesai’s strengths as an artist is his ability to display the depth and color of the simple bamboo flute, drawing from it intense emotion and a sense of otherworldly peacefulness. This makes a perfect accompaniment for mindfulness practice or the slower approaches of yoga — the music is very centering and encourages one to dive deeper within.

A lot of times, when a soundtrack producer wants something exotic for an underscore, they seem to hint at material like this, but hearing this recording makes you realize by how much they miss the boat. Not a typical new age/healing record, Teredesai transposes ragas for bamboo flute taking them someplace else entirely. With some electronic help to round out the sound, this collection of mind music is the gateway to some faraway place you imagine so it doesn’t matter how accurate your visions are. A set of wild musical/soundscapes for when you need some quiet time for getting centered, this is way cheaper than therapy and goof balls. It doesn’t fall easily into prescribed jazz, world, new age categories, and isn’t really any of either but it really does come from a cat that knows how to blow your mind in ways you haven’t contemplated. Check it out.

“Param Sukh” begins Path of the Divine; the narrative qualities of Teredesai’s Bansuri flute provide a cogent and coherent story that is weaved throughout the entirety of the composition. “Shakti Dhyana” is able to keep close stylistically, despite possessing an outward sound that represents a distinct facet of Teredesai. The tracks on Path of the Divine provide listeners with a brief glimpse into Teredesai the human just as they do Teredesai the artist.

A bright point on Path of the Divine, “Bhakti Dnyana” brings listeners onto an eight-minute journey through Teredesai’s soundscape. The arrangements (flute and atmospheric noise) provide listeners with a range of complex interactions, establishing the composition as something much greater than its sum of constituent parts. Themes are allowed to properly breathe, allowing Teredesai ample time in-track or through a range of tracks to further elaborate and expand ; the late-disc trilogy of “Samarpan,” “Shoonya,” and “Shoonya” provide a focused shift away from the overall tenor of the introductory efforts. There is a theme of humanity versus the vastness of existence; wide-open tracks work well to highlight every twist and turn that Teredesai’s flute provides to listeners.

The album ends with “Dhyana Mudra," an effort that ties together the various styles and approaches created during Path of the Divine. Terdesai will impress over the entirety of the 73-plus minutes, adopting timeless and classical Indian arrangements with something much more contemporary. The compositions here work perfectly no matter whether individuals are cleaning, meditating, or are just resting. Top Tracks: “Param Sukhy,” “Bhakti Dhyana; Rating: 8.4 out of 10
