Krishna devotional singing

Krishna is one of the most popular dieties in India. It is the focus of devotional Yoga followers.  In 2006 I was fortunate to be able to play tabla in the Muscat Krishna temple with Kanhaialal the resident singer, daily.  Bajaan devotional music is one of the most profound ways to open up your heart to the universe.  The breath opens and the vibration of the voice with the power of the seed syllable of the mantra work to free your consciousness in a master,y way.

Here is a link to Jagjit Singh singing Jai Radha Mahadeva, one of my favourite bajaans.

     Synopsis of the workshop 
     Art Supply  21.2.15

What a wonderful afternoon and way to spend a Saturday. Many thanks to those that                     challenged themselves to try the simple yet profound art of Sumie. The level of enthusiasm and concentration was a delight to feel.  It was a true pleasure to be with all the students that         attended. The level of artwork was amazing for first timers and seasoned painters. It was a       pleasure to share Sumie with one and all.

   
As those who were there can attest, Sumie is not difficult yet it is illusory to perfect.
