We are so thrilled to have NINA RAO join DEVADAS for our weekly SOUK Chants Monday KIRTAN.

Nina learned traditional chants (bhajans) from her grandfather in a village in south India when she was nine years old. The chants quietly stayed with her until she rediscovered chanting with Krishna Das in New York in 1996. In 1998 she met her guru, Sri Siddhi Ma in the foothills of the Himalayas and spent time with her regularly for 19 years. Her childhood was spent living in and moving between many countries around the world and when she settled in New York her working life began in the banking world, moved into organizing and leading photographic wildlife safaris in Africa and India, and now since 1996, is Krishna Das’ business manager and accompanist as well as chant leader on her own.

Join us for this very special evening of moving from the mind into our hearts.

SHUNYA is a state of zero or nothingness. When you know nothing, you can know everything. This practice will eliminate fear and stabilize oneself, allowing energy to move in emptiness to recuperate and remove deficiencies. The relationship between absolute nothing and overcoming fear is explicit if you can experience absolute nothing, you will have no fear.

The typical human experience is characterized by being “ill-trained,” insecure, and living in a state of hypnosis focused on getting or being stuck in a dichotomy of “TO BE or NOT TO BE” (right or wrong). Humans do not experience absolute nothing because they full of feelings and emotions. Experiencing this state of absolute nothing is challenging and requires practice. Parthahar the real state of balance is when one is in a state of zero or nothingness. Come practice Shunya with Gurmukh and Gurushabd in this series of master classes on this subject.
