What's this all about?

At first blush someone who is unfamiliar with kirtan may dismiss my show as an ordinary show; but this show has a very specific mission. That mission is to share with everyone the joy which can be experienced from mantra meditation, the songs on my program feature predominantly Sanskrit lyrics and chants. Whether you are simply listening to the music or chanting along there are lasting benefits for your physical body and soul as well. If you are interested in the scientific research to support this I invite you to read the British Medical Journal study entitled “Effect of rosary prayer and yoga mantras on autonomic cardiovascular rhythms,” this is just one of many studies on the topic. So, this Maha Mantra program brings –peace of mind –true knowledge of the self –happiness and ultimately –an understanding of the divine. This show features kirtan which is a supercharged meditational process, where in addition to hearing oneself chant, one also benefits by hearing the chanting of others. These Sanskrit chants are very powerful, try it for yourself if you chant "Coca-Cola" over and over again, even for a few minutes, it becomes practically unbearable. There's no pleasure in it. But the sound of Krishna’s names are transcendental, and as one chants they want to chant more and more.
