select Saturday evenings in an Orinda home. Call and response, so you don't

need to know the chants in advance to participate. No background in chanting is

necessary. Open discussion of chanting as a spiritual practice. All are

welcome. Bring percussive musical instruments, if you like. Open embrace of

bhakti yoga. Vegetarian potluck following kirtan.

NamastÈ and greetings:

The next East-Bay kirtan will be at 6 PM on Saturday, March 15. As a

special treat, Jeff Palmer who plays tabla and flute at the Harbin

Hot Springs' Monday night kirtan will be joining us. This will

certainly be a kirtan not to miss! The format will be as usual with

happy " hour " from 6-6:15 PM, followed by kirtan and a vegetarian

potluck at 8 PM.

Last Sunday I played sarod with Jeff in an East Indian concert at

Harbin. Jeff is planning to bring his sitar and with interest, we

could have a short concert after dinner. Other Indian-instrument

players are welcome. Any tamboura players?

In any event we will have opportunity to be together as a community

on what appears to be the brink of war in Iraq. Please join me in

intending peace to those who seek peace through violence.

Please plan to come if this feels right for you. Kirtan!
