I am from America and I absolutely think the Indian culture is beautiful.....such beautiful people inside and out.
This was the era in Madonna’s spiritual journey when she was into Eastern mysticism (Kabbalah, Buddhism, Hinduism and Ashtanga yoga) and she felt that Ashtanga yoga gave her the most uplifting wholistic physical and spiritual experience. This song was a meditative mantra/chant in ancient sacred Vedic Sanskrit. Perhaps she didn’t wear a more traditional Hindu dress because within seconds following this song, she would switch to performing Ray of Light with rock guitarist Lenny Kravitz and an electronic band and dancers evoking a completely different music genre. Years later in 2008 she would do Cyberraga (another Ashtanga yoga-inspired song) with her MDNA album and world concert tour. She wrote/co-wrote both of these songs. Thank you for reacting to this.
Additional point of interest re these two Ashtanga yoga- inspired songs: she trained with a Hindu classical linguistics scholar to help her pronounce the Sanskrit lyrics, and in Cyberraga she collaborated with Talvin Singh-a writer, musician and producer of electronic Indian music. Madonna is such an extraordinary musical artist in that she was inspired to perform these songs as an artistic expression of her love for Astanga yoga without regard to its commercial appeal.
Cyberraga was for Music and not in 2008
Thank you for reacting to my request! I'm glad you liked it. Yes, she sang beautiful in sanscrit. And the whole act was pure class, and very respectul and loving. Not just for entertainment. One of her most mesmerizing performances ever for sure.
You’re welcome ❤️
I absolutely adore this song, from the first time I heard it. It was always a stand out song amongst ROL.
Ngl if you're not south asian idk if you can decided whether its respectful or not
@@queenqueen977 of course I can.
The entire ray of light album is a cathartic experience. It is considered one of the greatest album ever made. This song is from that album.
That’s why I am a huge madonna fan... you have always a different feeling every video u see... she changes her style as she changes her musicality. I can understand ppl who loves a specific era and not her entire career.
Cause she changes a lot! And that’s brilliant .
Yes I agree ❤️
You are so right! That's what I love about her and what kept her career so long. No artist in music has ever been so versatile
@@FutureLover83 Madonna doesn’t look down to anyone that’s what makes her a Queen 👸❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your comment ❤️
The Ray of Light song completes the whole performance.
But do not watch that, lol. A vocal disaster
@@howiet1971 Yeah, I agree. Compared to her other Ray Of Light performances like the Oprah show, it's pretty bad. But it's part of this performance and it's out in the public.
One of the things I love most about M is that she brings in dif cultures from all over and shares it with us. I especially love when she sings in dif languages. She has done this throughout her whole career. On her Last album Madame X, she sings in 4 or 5 dif languages and I LOVE It!
So talented ❤️
Essentially Madge is reciting Ashtanga yogic prayer said prior to commencing Ashtanga yoga...This was when she was heavily into asthtanga yoga...a rigorous vinyasa based yogic system: requiring super discipline. She fused this with electronica...hence producing a "cyberaga". She mastered this and essentially represented a female sage.
She practically made yoga a mainstream thing in the US when this album came out in 1998. I remember doing yoga prior to that but it was this niche kinda thing, but after this came out, yoga studios popped up everywhere.
She did a lot of Ashtanga Yoga in the 90’s.
This is the opening mantra before you start your practice. 🧘🏼♂️
Madonna did take things to the next level! She respected and honored the diversity and cultures of people throughout the world. Plus she did bring music from other cultures to the world. She did that as well on her latest LP, Madame X.
Love this performance. Super under appreciated. ! Long live the Queen ! Great reaction.
You could have watched the entire performance, log after "Shanti / Ashtagi" she sings the song "Ray Of Light" with RockStar's special part, Lenny Kravitz, playing the guitar.
All her fans learned the words to this song back then myself included.
Madonna takes us far away:)
It is her song off the album Ray of Light. She also did another one called Cyber-raga for her Music album, which she performed live at her 2012 MDNA Tour. There is no really good video of if but quite a few fan videos.
I've been waiting for this reaction. Thanks to Miguel for requesting it. This is one of my favorites of all time. I really want to see your family to react to Sooner or Later at the Oscars or Fever at the Arsenio Hall Show, both performance are epic and iconic
Thats so true what you said around 3:00 to 4:00. When Madonna gets interested around something...she goes after it.
And true again: she's extremely versatile. 👌🏻
But like David Lee comented below...Ray of Light with Lenny Kravitz added a nice touch. She was going to sing It...
❤️❤️❤️
One of my faves from the album
This MTV VMA performance was done in Los Angeles.
This song/prayer is from her most critically acclaimed album 'Ray of Light' (1998). I believe she has another song called "Cyber-Raga," made during her 'Music' album (2000), also mesmerizing and excellent.
One of my favorite songs from Ray of light..... so great. listen to the original.song.
Its from the magnificent 'Ray of Light' album, she only did a bit from the song as an introduction for 'Ray of Light'. I love the original album version. 'Frozen' is another video with Indian/Arabic vibes (in a modern way) and style. And Madonna's 'Cyber Raga' has Indian vibes too very modern. Her last album 'Madame X' is full of world music influences.
Par excellence. Queen Madonna.
Your videos always make me happy!! Thank you!! I can see you’re starting to fully appreciate the genius that is Madonna!!!
Thank you
Finally u r discovering her spiritual side! Try 'Frozen' and 'Merl Girl/Sky Fits Heaven' live from Drown World Tour. 'Mother and Father' from ReinventionTour. 'Like a Prayer' live París. 👍👍
Mommy has always a perfect analysis! Always love your madonna's reaction
Thank you 😊
Esa es una presentación que se compone de 2 canciones y después de shanti sigue Ray of Light.
Beautiful song. Thanks for sharing
I was obsessed with this song when it came out. I was a teenager then& I didn't know what she was saying& I understand why now it moved me. And also her song Frozen, a very strong message in that song.
🙏🏼shalom
This was my favorite song of the album i dont know what she said but my soul recognizes it. but i love anything spiritual and modern and madonna never disapoints to either push the edge or bring you closer to a higher power.
I’m no expert, but to answer your question, the dancers are definitely trained in one (or more) of the primary classical dance styles of India: Bharatanatyam (Tamil Nadu), Kathak (North India), Kathakali (Kerala), Kuchipudi (Andhra Pradesh), Odissi (Odisha), Manipuri (Manipur), Mohiniyattam (Kerala), or Sattriya (Assam) dance styles. However, which style we see in the video, I don’t know. Obviously, there are many more, of course, in the country. The ones I named are just some of the top most well-known and studied schools.
The words though are associated with Ashtanga yoga, which has its roots in Mysore, Kerala, at the southern tip of India. The prayer is often recited before practicing. Ashtanga was the style of yoga which Madonna was most interested in. It’s known for being one of the most athletic, almost gymnastic-like yoga practices, and is extremely physical and rigorous. But it’s generally open to everyone nonetheless, as everyone’s body and trajectory will be different. The teacher tells you what to do and when according to your development. There are other styles of yoga, Iyengar, yin, vinyasa, hatha… Bikram (heated), even. But in general, the "strongest" Ashtanga yogis are known for achieving intense arm balances, handstands, headstands, Scorpion poses, etc. As opposed to "vinyasa" or modern "flow" yoga, which usually sees people moving in repetitive motions to their own liking, guided by a teacher. Meanwhile, yin yoga is the most gentle, basic stretching, and involves no strain on the body. Complete relaxation. The more vigorous styles bring peace of mind and focus to the practitioner through hard work, focus and perseverance and respecting one’s body and limitations. Really, it’s the rhythmic "ujjayi" breathing that brings everyone the most inner peace. 🙏🏼
For Cyber-raga there are not many good videos, and it was performed after the song Like a Sinner: ua-cam.com/video/mehqeO1zOvk/v-deo.html
Or if you want just the backdrop to her performance, but with the vocals: ua-cam.com/video/UUX0o7km8Nk/v-deo.html
Can I request Madonna power of goodbye video
I believe this was @UniversalStudios, in California.
React to Madonna Like a Virgin in Girlie Show Tour. That perflrmance is another reinvention. Btw she channel Marlene Dietrich in that perf.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! 👍🔥💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙zane
I believe she had to re-record her vocals for the album, because she was told her pronunciations were off. She took more lessons to get the words right.
Well I said you if really want to do something you have to work hard for it.
Love you guys!! Always make my day 🙌🏻
Thank you ❤️
Yoga opening mantra!
Thank you
thank you!!!
Super
React to Confessions Tour
Cool
Great review as ever. Hope one day you review one of mine. Live earth or you’ll see.
I see you in the live. I shall do it next. Thank you for your support.
Hi I enjoy all your Madonna reactions. Good job! Can you please react to Alanis Morissette's music video or lyric video for the song Thank You. I really think your family will enjoy the song. Good luck on your channel as well!
Thank you
I do love this album of hers. It’s 100% her best. But I don’t understand why she and her team were so confused, back in the day, about the criticism she received from the yoga community. If you listen to the album version and then this one, she clearly pronounced certain words quite "differently" compared to the album track. Almost more… Americanized! I know Madonna loves to simply get a reaction out of the public. But this seemed so obviously incorrect, yet she was confused about the critiques. 🤔 Such as the word _sandarsita_ -it’s usually pronounced, loosely, like "sandarsheetah". But in this performance, we hear her say it like "san-DAR-shee-TARRR". Uhhh. Why the heavy R? Lol! Not even on the original recording does she say those Rr’s so strongly.
It’s not her song, it’s a cover of an Indian prayer, it happened cause she got into kabbalah.
Yes I was right it is a cover of an Indian prayer ❤️
👍🏼
I love your reactions but I wish the volume would be louder.
PLEASE react to Aaliyah-Rock The Boat (in 4k)🧡
