Saranya
Soul Calls One - Journey Within

In the style of mystics like Rumi, Kabir, and Mirabai, the Soul Calls reflect the deepest yearning of the devotee for union with the Divine Beloved; spiritually intimate lyrics and Saranya's soothing renditions peacefully carry the consciousness within. ³SOUL CALLS ONE ~ JOURNEY WITHIN² begins from the point of the devotee being weary of the world and beginning to cry for God to reveal Him/Herself. Then, being guided to look within, the devotee comes to know that the soul can fly and soar spiritually.

CD Baby

If you like any of the music you are listening to, please support the artists as well as this site by purchasing CDs through the links on this page from CD Baby.

I know, CD Baby is a weird name, but they're a wonderful group of people who are the largest seller of independent CDs on the web. They love music and listen to every CD before they sell it. They only deal directly with the musicians, not corporate distributors, so the independent musicans can earn as much as $6 - $12 per CD, rather than the $1 or $2 they would normally get through a distributor.
