Experience
devotional chanting from many spiritual traditions.
Prema Rupa – Form of Love – draws upon soulful songs honoring the Divine Presence from the traditions of Hindi and Sikh kirtan, Sanskrit and Buddhist chanting, and Sufi qawwali.
THE PREMA RUPA KIRTAN EXPERIENCE
Prema Rupa does not perform, but rather facilitates the kirtan chanting experience for yoga practitioners, devotees of the Divine, and those who may want to integrate chanting as sadhana - daily devotional practice.
Kirtan is integral to most yogic paths. It is musical japa – repetition of the Sacred Name – with the group experience increasing the value of the practice for every participant.
The chant leaders render simple phrases, usually in Sanskrit or Hindi, allowing equal measure for the "mirror response" of the participants in the session, typically lasting 11/2 to 2 hours.
The purpose of the kirtan sangha (chanting group) is a shared experience of concentration in the joy of sacred music.
PREMA RUPA MUSICIANS
Shivadam, Parvati Redford Burke, Greg Davis, and Debbie Elman are Prema Rupa. Spanning three decades, they have among them the collective experience of living, working, and praying in India; a proficiency in Hindi and Sanskrit; chant leaders and musicians for Paramahansa Yogananda’s Self-Realization Fellowship; Sacred Circle Dancing, Sufi Dances of Universal Peace, and Sacred Tibetan Buddhist Dances; a student of sitar, vocal and tabla from the Ali Akbar College of Music and other Indian masters. The instruments that accompany the Prema Rupa musicians include harmonium, dilruba, sitar, tamboura, tabla, cymbals and bells, swarmandal, and Tibetan bowls.
