Jivamukti Yogini’s Gabriela and Sharon ....and many more friends during our workshop

“I was so taken when I saw you both up at Omega, I have never seen you both live before that. You know I have seen a lot of bands in my past and when Miten told me just ask if there is space on your guest list for Boston, I was truthfully not sure. Then a woman next to us told me as I left that is something they would really do and that you really meant that. So when I called the promoter and he said yes there was a place for me, I was once again touched by your who you are as people. In some ways I feel like I know you both. May our paths cross again in the future!”

“Dear Deva and Miten,
It was so wonderful to meet you and to experience a live performance of your beautiful music. The Ecstatic Chant retreat was also an adventure. Maybe if you had come to Toronto this time, I would never have travelled to the retreat, and I am so glad I went (still hearing Hare Krishna in my brain). I had not experienced Kirtan before, although I once spent a couple of days at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India and some of the music this weekend had the same dream-like, transportive effect as the music and verse-chanting I heard there. It was a long drive back from NY to Canada -- 11 hours with stops to stretch, and a long wait at the border.  Your CDs and one of Snatam Kaur helped me maintain a blissful state and still keep the car on the road. I can still feel the sublime energy that you transmit through your music and mantras, and the lasting impact of your hugs and embraces. I hope you will come to Toronto some time and that we meet again.  Until then,  I have warm memories of you both and the love that you radiate.

With Love, Jade”

Hari OM Deva & Miten,
Was great to see your blog from Omega/US tour and to read what the person shared who began their spiritual path with Sri Swami Satchidananda. We hope you will come to Satchidananda Ashram some time. I'd love to interview you for Integral Yoga Magazine also. Kindly let me know. Thank you. OM Shanti
