They are the best known.  But we have heard a group doing it here
in Vienna.  Actually they did a cycle of 5 songs, one for each of
the elements, and one for Akash'.  I have also heard it done in
Mongolia (oh no! Not One of her "when I was in Mongolia" stories!
:)

I haven't heard her, but I'll take your word for it.  there are a few
other Mantra yogis hanging out in Adyar too!

It's a pleasure to read someone else who appreciates Hodson.  I
think all the classical music played in Vienna definately has an
effect on stabilizing the psychic atmosphere.  Probably there
should be more in the world.
