We sing together this Sunday April 28 at 2pm: come experience Kirtan devotional singing with eclectic musician Seabury Gould & tabla player Colby Beers, at Tosha Yoga studio in Arcata!
Kirtan is a part of Bhakti Yoga, the Yoga of Devotion. Kirtan is a heart-opening musical experience with irresistibly sanctifying power.
Seabury’s kirtans are easy to follow, traditional Hindu devotional chants in classic call & response patterns.
Multi-instrumentalist & storyteller Seabury is a life-long student of music. He spent 2 years in India studying classical Hindustani & Karnatic music.
He studied Indian ragas with master teachers such as Ali Akbar Khan, GS Sachdev & Dr. K. Subramaniam. He sings & plays guitar & bansuri bamboo flute. Seabury is a music teacher for both adults & children. His sadhana (spiritual practice) has included the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo & the Mother since 1974.
Drummer Colby has been a devoted disciple of tabla master Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri for a decade & has been studying percussion since 1997. Colby is a music teacher of tabla & other percussion.
There will be a basket for donations to support the musicians. Sliding scale $10- 20.
In order to facilitate better singing, Seabury & Colby respectfully request no masks.
By singing these ancient Sanskrit prayers, we join a stream of consciousness & devotion that’s been flowing for centuries. By singing together in this way, we appreciate Nada Brahma: Sound is God.
“The role of music lies in helping the consciousness to uplift itself towards the spiritual heights”. (the Mother)
