All performances by Whole Earth Kirtan been suspended for the time being.

HOWEVER - Here is the chant video I did for the online version of Dragonfest in Colorado this August. It is for a pagan festival, so the first 1/3 consists of a medley of well-known pagan chants - Oh Great Spirit, Earth My Body, Green Man Chant, We All Come From the Goddess, She's Been Waiting, and Goddess Chant.

The remaining 2/3 of the video are selections from my original chants that are more pagan oriented - Oh My Soul, The Gratitude Chant, Blessed Be Gaia, I See the Sun (The Sun Sees Me), Praise to the Mother, and Today.

Come sing along if you want to be
Friends with my friend and friends with me.

Recording

My current project is recording my version of the ancient Indian epic
"The Ramayana" with original narrative, kirtan chants and songs. As depicted
in this painting, The Ramayana is the timely story of how human greed in the
form of the demon Ravana was defeated in a great battle by the warrior Rama,
his brave wife Sita, the monkey god Hanuman, Rama's little brother Lakshmana,
and an army of enlightened monkeys and bears. The lessons are for our times.

Is there no end to human greed?
