Hello All...

I'm going to finally set up a store to sell my cd single this week. In the meantime, I have a new project I started that you may be interested in.

Vak Seva is my Kirtan project, which is Hindu Devotional Chant. Take a listen and send me an add request if you like it. The recordings are live, and not the best quality at the moment... More to come!

Namaste,
VinaBlue



Here is a little background info about kirtan from www.kirtan.org:

Kirtan, also known as sankirtan, is the call-and-response chanting inspired and popularized by the great saint Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The roots of kirtan go back over 500 years to Renaissance India. During this period the influence and style of kirtan became the focal point for the upsurge in religious expression in Bengal led by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. This joyful mood quickly spread throughout India, where today kirtan is accepted as one of the surest paths to enlightenment. The singing is accompanied by the ancient musical raga musical tradition with a rhythmic drumming style that transports the chanters to profound spiritual realms. In its religious fervor, it has been likened to modern American Gospel music, and in its heartfelt expression it compares to profound states of deep meditation.
