Punjab and Delhi

Coming to Punjab for the first time, we hardly knew what to expect. India produces many masters in music, both vocal and instrumental in various styles. Indians are also used to sit down and appreciate the intricacies of an expert musical production. We wondered if during kirtan the crowd would at all participate by chanting.

To our amazement, our first engagement in Ludhiana attracted a full temple room and everyone sang with great enthusiasm. The next day the chanting of the Amritsar crowd surpassed Ludhiana. Focusing on the sacred Maha Mantra vibration naturally led to sublime dancing, thus creating a spiritual atmosphere.

Over 700 people attended one of the kirtan engagements in Delhi. The sincere chanting of many people nourishes the soul and liberates the heart from material bondage.
