I wanted to get the word out that kirtan singer Krishna Das will be playing at the Variety Playhouse in Little 5 Points on Monday, June 30 at 8 pm.  This show is sponsored by Jai Shanti Yoga, the yoga studio where I’ve been a student for the past few years.

For those who are not familiar with kirtan, it is a form of “call and response” devotional chanting that originated in India. It is spiritually uplifting and also a lot of fun! The added bonus for us Reiki practitioners is that the music is of a high vibrational quality, spiritually speaking, so you can often experience some wonderful things during a kirtan concert.

Krishna Das is one of the American pioneers of the art, and learned it while spending several years in India in the late ’60s/early ’70s. He infuses other world beat and even Blues rhythms into his kirtans, and his presence is very warm and down-to-earth. I saw him in San Francisco last November and it was a great show. He is an absolutely lovely person.  I asked him to come to Atlanta…and here he is!

Tickets are $25 in advance/$30 at the door and can be ordered online. 

Hope to see you there!
