About Event
Kirtan with Devadas
Don't miss this opportunity to hear one of the great Kirtan artists.
Devadas is a kirtaniya, composer and artist hailing from Brooklyn, New York. He leads kirtans throughout the world and has recorded a wide variety of acclaimed CDs, including his latest releases, 3 Prayers and Radio Nada. In 2012, Devadas collaborated with indie-rock icon J Mascis to produce and record the film score for the feature documentary One Track Heart: The Story of Krishna Das. Devadas produced Nina Rao’s chant album, Antarayaami, and in 2016 launched the Lokah Peace Project, an online and ever-expanding video project aimed at inspiring reflection, empathy and harmony.
Kirtan is the traditional, repetitive, call and response singing of Sacred Namavalis, Divine Names, as revealed to ancient seekers in India. It is participatory chanting, music as meditation, a spiritual practice, open to anyone, that helps to gradually tune one’s awareness inward towards one’s own heart, which, in traditions the world over, is held to be the doorway to the true source of lasting happiness.
