| Devotional Singer | Kirtan Ambassador | Sanskrit Chanting WHAT IS KIRTAN? Chanting is one of the best-kept secrets of Yoga; it soothes the soul, increases vitality, and deepens meditation. Kirtan, the beautiful call-and-response chanting of the yogic tradition, is a joyful practice that quiets the mind and opens the heart so that we may experience the harmony that is Yoga. Through singing these sacred chants in community, we come together as one voice in an effortless flow of focused intention to savor the inner peace and bliss that is our true Self. Kirtan is a practice that cuts across all religious lines and levels of musical ability. Come see for yourself why kirtan has exploded in popularity in the West alongside yoga’s rise to fame! No prior experience required. Come and sing. Come and see. Or just come and be. VIDEO:'Radhe Govinda' KIRTAN with KAMANIYA Part 1 (My version of a Jai Uttal chant) Accompanied by ADAM BAUER on bass, DAVE WILLOCKS (not pictured) on djembe & ETHAN SISSER on kartals. Filmed during Shyamdas' annual Bhakti Immersion Weekend at Ananda Ashram, Monroe, NY, August '07 VIDEO:'Radhe Govinda' KIRTAN with KAMANIYA Part 2 (My version of a Jai Uttal chant) (Credits same as in video above.) VIDEO:'Ganesha Sharanam' KIRTAN ORIGINAL MUSIC by KAMANIYA and TOMMY BE (All Rights Reserved) Heartfelt thanks to the lovely Thupamodel for this clip, which she shot at our Sep 29 kirtan at Integral Yoga in NYC. Sitting to my right is songbird Kristina "Yogafly" Lanuza on support vocals. Not shown is the amazing Tommy Be playing bass on this song, & the wonderful Terrence Pompey on dholak. (Damaru couldn't make it that night, click here to see him in kirtan action...) MY MUSIC: I will upload my music as soon as my CD is released. In the meantime, please click here to enjoy my music partner Tommy Be’s Vibratribe CD ~ just one aspect of his multi-faceted musical brilliance! (Note: the vocalist on Vibratribe is not me.) LIFE IS A SONG . . . SING IT! "Even after all this time The sun never says to the earth, "You owe me." Look what happens with a love like that ~ it lights the whole world." ~ Hafiz (c. 1320-1389) Translated by Daniel Ladinsky HSUS MySpace Page | Stop Puppy Mills Website " I am a hole in a flute that the Christ's breath moves through ... Listen to this music." ~ Hafiz (c.1320-1389) Translated by Daniel Ladinsky " Love not anyone, not even God! Our picking & choosing love brings misery. Instead, let God love you. Be Love itself.” ~ Shri Swami Nirmalananda
When I look outside & see that I’m everything, that’s love. And between these two, my life turns." ~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
"We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace." ~ Albert Schweitzer, The Philosophy of Civilization "A human being is part of a whole, called by us the “universe,” a part limited in time & space. He experiences himself, his thoughts & feelings, as something separate from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires & to affection for a few people near us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures & the whole of nature in its beauty." ~ Albert Einstein "I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, & the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men." ~ Leonardo Da Vinci "The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men." ~ Alice Walker, The Color Purple " Birdsong brings relief to my longing. I am just as ecstatic as they are, But with nothing to say! Please, universal soul, practice some song, or something, through me!" ~ Rumi (1207-1273) Translated by Coleman Barks "The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." ~ Albert Einstein "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." ~ Margaret Mead "Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little." ~ Edmund Burke Poodwaddle.com "Nobody is a fool & nobody is wise. It is the space which makes you foolish or wise. If you have space within your mind, then you become wise, & if you have no space in your mind, then you become 'otherwise'." ~ Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati, founder of Ananda Ashram in Monroe, NY, USA CURRENT MOON lunar phase ::: FRIEND REQUESTS ::: I do not accept anonymous add requests.
