"YolandaNanda is very fresh and soothing...it will definitely lift your spirits and relax your mind"-Rock At Night Magazine, review by Shuvam DasGupta.

YolandaNanda is a collection of songs based on my love for mantra with English translations and stories from my life wrapped around the mantras in a diverse musical style that I call "AMBIENT KUNDALINI DANCE ROCK". The mantras/stories I have chosen are ones that empower me and keep me grounded during this time of growth, expansion, and human consciousness shift.

This is volume 2 of the critically acclaimed series Rev. Yolanda's Country Gospel Kirtan. Following Review by Bill Turner (former lead guitarist for Bill Haley and The comets): "Rev. Yolanda's voice is expressive, believable...and just plain great!....cleverly weaving elements of the traditional eastern tabla, combining it with gentle bluegrass instrumentation, superb vocal harmonies, stark bare-bones electric guitar...and making it ALL work! All 12 songs on this CD are "A" material...there is not a weak cut on this whole album. Rev Yolanda is the best "Contemporary Christian" songwriter I've heard in decades!" This comment from a fan: "Dear Reverend Yolanda. I was the security guard who bought your CD. I am really enjoying your music although I am an atheist. I listen to it several times a day. All the best. Cheers. jms"
