Based on her master's thesis, this is Mindia Klein's work which describes her personal journey as a musician, her specific experiences in learning Indian Classical and Balinese gamelan music with her teachers, and covers the history and elements of the music of India and Bali, as well as various aspects of music's spiritual dimension. The forty-nine pages of sheet music include six of her own compositions (these songs have appeared on the albums Natural Rhythms, Visions of a Peaceful Planet, and her solo album Quiessence) and 25 pages of Haidakhan Bhajans.
