You’ll explore several of the most powerful Sanskrit mantras and offer practical guidance on integrating them into your yoga, meditation, or pranayama practice. No previous experience necessary! Girish’s chant workshop will cover: The tradition of Bhakti Yoga (the Yoga of Devotion) The sacred power of Sanskrit The Gayatri Mantra Chants to the Goddess Bija Mantras (mystical seed sounds) The Hanuman Chalisa Meaning, pronunciation, and yogic application of all the chants Resources for further study and inspiration About Girish (www.girishmusic.com) Girish’s life journey has been marked by a series of profound transformations, unified by an underlying journey toward purpose. He has gone from aspiring jazz drummer to renunciant Hindu monk to first call tabla guru for the likes of Krishna Das to solo mantra troubadour, and he’s not done yet. Girish lived in an ashram for five years taking the vows of a monk in the divine mother tradition called Dakshina Marg or Mahashakti Yoga. Another compelling sound force emerged for Girish: the chanting of Sanskrit mantras. As a monk in the ashram he spent hours every day chanting. Girish also studied Sanskrit as a means to understand the deeper meanings of these ancient chants, and helped his teacher translate dozens of hymns. Girish is currently on tour to support Yoga Vision (a sacred images DVD choreographed to Girish’s music). His widely acclaimed Shiva Machine (Spirit Voyage, October, 2005) and Reveal (Spirit Voyage, May, 2004) cds and tours introduced his original music to yoga studios, churches, and music festivals all over the country. For more information visit www.girishmusic.com, and www.spiritvoyage.com Kirtan with Girish Girish sings traditional Hindu mantras and hymns set to modern music accompanied by his band. Girish invites his audience to participate by singing along, call and response chanting, and dancing. "Some readers may remember a live appearance by Girish here in SLO a few months ago. He invited us to come along on a chanting expedition with him... I found out that Girish has many fans locally, most of whom knew all the material he presented that night. It was an ecstatic experience, and I simply had to purchase one of his CDs. In the liner notes, Girish thanks "all chant lovers who come and share their hearts and voices." How could anyone do less? He is such a warm, inviting person, and this same quality can be felt even through the inanimate form of a CD.....Girish represents a perfect blending of east and west, ancient and modern. While surrounding himself with a bevy of instruments both traditional and conventional, his sensuous voice and eloquent guitar speak directly to a person's heart. All throughout this... musical meditation, there are opportunities to let go and let the moment take over. A delightful experience." ~ Francesca Nemko, Hope Dance Magazine "'Masterpiece' is not too strong a term for this CD. If more traditional call-and-response kirtan is what you're looking for, I suggest you check out Girish's brilliant debut CD Reveal first. But if you're open to chants supported by a more contemporary jazz-funk feel, Shiva Machine is a kirtan tour de force. - Linda Johnsen, author of Daughters of the Goddess "Shiva Machine is a genre-bending slick album of mantras put to music....Girish...is not only singing, but composing music that allows us to experience his path with a very different sensibility..... The album starts off with a very smooth sounding 'Sita Ram' and is followed by a breathy cool treatment of 'Shiva Shakti'. The funk is applied to 'Shiva Shambo' which might get some members of the tribe off their mats and shakin' it up on the hardwood.....Shiva Machine is a skillful record with 10 mantras, delivered with a slick, hip and cool attitude. Girish is an artist expressing himself and having fun doing so. I recommend this album for yoga classes that want to get the participants moving and for anyone having a party with a spiritual theme.' ~ Michael R.
