My two favorite issues in life are sound vibration and cats. I’m in my completely satisfied place when chanting/singing and cuddling a cat! I’ve been like this since I used to be a younger youngster. In childhood I’d sing songs from musicals out within the woods and picture that the orchestra was about to burst out from the bushes!

I realised in my late twenties that what I used to be actually searching for was unity and concord which was once I found kirtan/chanting from the center. Right now I had a large coronary heart opening within the kirtan follow and an awakening which modified my life endlessly! I’ve by no means seemed again.

How did your Kirtan journey start and what impressed it?

My journey started in 1987 once I was in a darkish evening of the soul interval of my life the place nothing made sense and I used to be lured into the trail of dependancy between the ages of 14-27yrs. After I was 27 I used to be launched by a colleague/good friend to the trail of kirtan. She took me to my first satsang ( firm of the reality).After attending a couple of instances I purchased a cassette tape (reveals my age!) and commenced chanting together with it every day. On the time I used to be an actor in between jobs. In the future the mantra of the mantra lifted my spirits so excessive and entered my soul so deeply that I had a non secular awakening which took me to the depths and the heights of consciousness. The darkish street of dependancy left me and I skilled visions and revelations that remodeled my entire outlook on life endlessly. Step by step over time I left the world of performing and as a substitute turned a facilitator of pure voice work and a frontrunner of kirtan.I n my guide The Therapeutic Energy of Chanting I candidly share my journey into chanting and share downloadable chants in order that you can also begin your individual kirtan journey.
