 * Comment. Far too frantic for me. I can hardly watch it. 109.156.50.178 (talk) 01:28, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree. You'd think that to portray the making of something that is supposed to promote one's spirituality, the pace of the video could have been slowed down a bit. CorinneSD (talk) 18:39, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - it takes days to build a mandala. Sometimes several weeks. To put all that together and compress in 1 minute and 15 seconds it's not easy. I am affraid that they do look like this. Hafspajen (talk) 15:08, 12 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment - Are there any OTRS records for this? Is the music freely licensed?  Who composed it? - hahnch e n 17:30, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I've asked MRG if she has record of an explicit release. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 17:41, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Request - Can we please suspend this while MRG investigates a bit? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:24, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Shall I suspend? - The Herald (here I am) 09:01, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
