Sadhu's Paradise

I suppose I could chalk it up to being inspired by Baba last weekend... I bought a Dhotar/Ektar from Keshav Das. I wanted an option or an alternative to always chanting with my harmonium. Who would have ever thought that coordinating one finger with two strings while chanting could be so challenging? But I'm LOVING it. My friend Steve Kris, the Urban Sadhu, will be very pleased.

Me and my dhotar are getting to know each other. We'll keep slow dancing around my livingroom, and maybe we'll show off our stuff at kirtan in December.

Jai Bhagavan!

Goddess buzzzzzzzz...

What is it about Bhagavan Das!? SO amazing. Just in from his kirtan at Laughing Lotus, and I'm still buzzing with the Divine. He has a purity that allows for the spirit to truly shine through. There's nothing to weed out or through. He never fails to uncover my inner fire.

I have a lot of love and respect for other kirtan wallahs but Baba does it better than ANYONE!

Jai Ma!

God bless Canada!

I spent a few days in Toronto last week. Had a great time with the Davids and the yogis @ Catfish Yoga Shala. Spending time with all of the them showed me that there's joyful yoga in Toronto too. We spent a lot of time laughing, falling over, defying gravity, and sharing.

Right from the beginning of the weekend Mario and I were encouraged explore our creativity. Felt like home. Quite refreshing from my last visit to TO when the creative spirit was overshadowed by a codefied practice that doesn't speak to me.

I was taking a chance going up for a weekend with the Davids. I didn't know them, and didn't know what their teaching would be like. I'm glad I took the chance. I would do it again and again.
