45th Anniversary Celebration

Last Sunday we had the honor of participating in a celebration of the 45th Anniversary of Sri Sri Radha Londonisvara and Iskcon London. It was an exciting and beautiful evening with an epic ending when everyone got on stage and started dancing in ecstasy.

Here are a few photos from the event.

A year ago

This time last year I was in Budapest for a beautiful celebration of Diwali at the Budapest History Museum. I really enjoyed doing kirtan with the local musicians and the bhakti community is very sweet and welcoming there.

Here’s the video of our joint effort

Welcome to my journey on the path of Mantra Music

My favourite form of musical expression is kirtan which is a mantra-meditation and a musical prayer in one. It is a ‘call and response’ connection with the Supreme Lord through sound.

I love singing kirtan with a group of friends without any agenda or count of time. Sometimes we can go for hours, and even days and it is a truly life changing experience.

I worked with Radha Krishna Records on a very special album called Inevitable Time, which was released in May 2015. It is based on the Mahabharata, the ancient epic of India.

Each song of the album is an evocative musical vignette depicting selected moments from the story and sung in the original Sanskrit language. The style of music is very emotional and although it illustrates the fabled history of the mystic heroes five thousand years back, the themes and and feelings are timeless.

To keep you updated I will be posting here about some upcoming events and uploading video clips and photos. I’ll also be sharing some worthwhile news about the projects I am inspired by and the talented people I respect and admire.
