Joshua Tree, Calif.; April 15, 2011:  Shyamdas chants the Maha Mantra as only he can in this little snippet of satsang from his set at Bhakti Fest Spring Ommersion.  In his inimitable style, Shyamdas tells the sweet story of the Indian saint who got the words to the Maha Mantra  (Hari Krishna, Hari Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hari Hari, Hari Rama Hari Rama, Rama Rama, Hari Hari) wrong and chanted Hari Mara (which means to destroy) instead of Hari Rama.  Despite his mistake, Hari was compassionate, and the misguided kirtaniya became enlightened anyway because his heart was in the right place. 

Message: the words are less important than the intention behind them.  Just chant.

    Dear friends

    We are delighted to invite you to experience the soulful tones of legendary kirtan singer Krishna Das at his only music concert this year in the UK.

    ‘Journey of the Heart’ will be hosted at London’s Camden Centre and promises to be a night of musical inspiration as Krishna Das fuses harmonious sound with sacred Eastern chants.

    Krishna Das has become a world sensation, described as the Chantmaster of American Yoga by The New York Times and the Pavarotti of Kirtan by the Yoga Journal.

    This event is one not to be missed.

    Tickets are now available and we urge you to book before the usual sell-out!

    We are also very excited to present Radhanath Swami, an American swami of devotional yoga, who will make a guest appearance as part of the UK launch of his sensational new book, ‘The Journey Home’. As a promotional special, an exclusive copy is included with each ticket.

    Please find attached the event poster and feel free to pass on to your relevant mailing lists, notice boards and to yoga/kirtan enthusiasts at large.

    We have listed all the relevant details below but please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information.

    Thank you very much and see you all soon!
