I've been studying and chanting bhajan and kirtan since 1996,
when I attended multi-weekly kirtan in NYC, mostly with
krishna das and bhagavan das.
In 1998 went to India for the first time. That's where I really began my understanding of kirtan through much searching for the powerful kirtan experience. I return to India every 2-3 years for close to half a year each visit.
In the West; Satsang with Amma, Narayan Maharaj and their devotees; Iskon and Neem Karoli devotees have alll inspired my experience.
In 1999 I produced my first kirtan cd Bhajan Anandi Vol1,
which was, to my surprise, very well received.
Since then I have recorded Bhajan Anandi Vol 2&3, and Bhajan Ananadi Vol 5 is out this summer 2008. I continue to hold public Kirtan around the country and world, as well as performing with Arjun & Guardians, and Fanna Fi Allah Qawwali Party. |
