A Handful Of Beauty is a music studio album recording by SHAKTI WITH JOHN MCLAUGHLIN (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock/Progressive Rock) released in 1977 on cd, lp, vinyl and/or cassette. The album drifts from energetic passages beginning with the opening track to more mellow and pastoral moments as heard on "Lady K" and "Isis.

With the exception of an arrangement of a traditional South Indian piece "Kriti," McLaughlin and Shankar contribute all of the compositions, which lean even more heavily toward South Indian music with reminders of McLaughlin's Western roots.
