We're excited to be hosting the first New Orleans CHANT FEST at Wild Lotus Yoga on Friday night November 20th with a triple header of wonderful kirtan artists! Playing that night will be Karnamrita, one of the most beautiful voices in the bhajan world; Kamaniya and Keshavacharya Das, lovely and spirited kirtan couple ...who have been lighting up the northeast with their enchanting sounds; and us, sharing chants from the new album Devaloka. We hope to build on the program next year. The following day Nov 20th, we'll be participating in The Festival of Chariots in downtown New Orleans, a parade and festival celebrating the art, music, dance, and food of spiritual India. Hari Bol!Read More

We're wrapping up our California CD Release Tour here in the enchanted valley of Ojai at The Ojai Yoga Crib- a really inspiring. relaxed. joyful gathering of yogis from around the country. I taught a bhakti vinyasa yoga workshop this afternoon with the band- Alvin and Gwendolyn kept the groove deep and sweet as we invo...ked the spirit of Halloween--dancing between the physical and spirit world. Tomorrow night we offer a kirtan party for the whole community.Having experienced the joy of Bhakti Fest at Joshua Tree and The Crib this weekend, it's becoming clearer and clearer how fulfilling and important it is to come together as a community of yogis and seekers to learn, celebrate, share, keep our fire stoked, and lift each other up.Read More
