Kirtan with Keshavacharya Das (Portland)
(events » live music)
Saturday, May 3, 2008 - 6:00 PM
Keshavacharya's musical and spiritual journey has led him from the pristine mountains of Switzerland, to the ancient temples and simple monasteries of India, and now to the yoga studios and ashrams tucked within America’s bustling cities. Throughout it all, he remains a simple monk and lover of devotional chanting. He sees kirtan as a way to connect the performer and the listeners on a spiritual and artistic level, and an opportunity to create sacred space and invite others to enter into that space through the medium of sound.
After regular concerts in the New York City area, including Jivamukti Yoga Studio, Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, and the Ananda Ashram Yoga Society, he recorded his first live studio recording of traditional Indian kirtan. Released in April of 2007, “Crying of the Soul” continues to be warmly received and praised.
Keshavacharya will visit Portland State University for a free performance alongside the Bhakti-yoga Club’s vegetarian dining program. Come for a delightful vegetarian/vegan meal and an inspirational musical experience.
