★★★★★ — Fernando, Oct 2019

My experience with Shakti in choosing and purchasing my set of bowls was nothing but great, from beginning to end. I am from Toronto, Canada, and we chatted a number of times. I had placed my trust and confidence in Shakti and got so much more back!! I am so happy with my bowls! Thank you again, Shakti!

★★★★★ — Allison, Feb 2020

I had a very spiritual and cathartic experience buying singing bowls from Bodhisattva Trading Company. I have been looking for singing bowls for a while and none of them felt like what I was looking for and they all felt very commercial.

★★★★★ — Essie, Sep 2022

I'm giving 5 stars because the shipping was very quick, and the quality of the bowl I ordered was exceptional, but under any other circumstances I would have only given 4 stars because the mallets were such a joke.
