Om Amriteshwaryai Namaha<\/span><\/p>\n

Aloha Dear Maui Brothers and Sisters,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nYou are invited to a very special Satsang evening this Thursday, Feb 3rd at 6:30pm. Amma devotee Kathy Zavada, who is visiting Maui from Mt. Shasta CA, will be playing her uplifting music for us. Also, devotee Dr Krishna Kant Shukla, who is visting Maui from Varanasi India, will be playing his powerful and deep devotional songs of the Saints and Sages of India. <\/span><\/span>
\nThis will be a very special occasion and we hope that you can join us! We are offering this as a fundraiser for our feeding the homeless project. This will be a very special spiritual evening. We are so fortunate to have Kathy and Krishna on island, sharing their uplifting and sacred music with us.<\/span><\/span>
\nThe program will be held at Ron’s home in Wailea.<\/span><\/span>
\nKrishna Kant Shukla gave up his job as assistant professor\u00a0of astronomy at an American college and returned to his native\u00a0India to live his dream of singing bhajans (Indian devotional\u00a0songs expressing love for the Divine). A distinguished lecturer\u00a0with a Ph.D. in solid state physics now turned musician, his love\u00a0for Varanasi, oldest living city in the world and holy city of India,\u00a0and his passion for music \u201ccombine to serve as his breath for\u00a0survival\u201d. “Time stands still in Varanasi\u201d Dr. Kant Shukla has said <\/span>and \u201cmusic is in my blood,… singing makes me come alive\u201d. His\u00a0bhajan performances at various cities in India have won him accolades.\u00a0He has performed at the London Mela as a distinguished\u00a0guest of the Mayor of London, but of more particular interest\u00a0to Baba lovers is that Krishna has sung for Meher Baba’s\u00a0old disciples at Meherazad, where, according to Meherabad resident\u00a0Peter Booth, his “performance was one of the most moving\u00a0and powerful I have experienced in thirty years.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/strong><\/em>More about KRISHNAKANT SHUKLA<\/strong><\/em>: While teaching Physics and Astronomy as an assistant professor in upstate New York, Dr. Shukla decided to quit academics and follow his heart and soul deep into the fathomless waters of Indian Classical Music. Having studied with great maestros like Srimati Laxmi Shankar, Ustaad Ali Akbar Khan, and Dr. Tapan Bhattacharya, he returned to India in 1994 to explore the roots of Indian Classical Music in the great living oral folk traditions. His musical search led him into remote villages in the Himalayan foothills, as well as far flung and difficult to reach dwellings in the central plains. He has been particularly influenced by the songs of Kabir, Gorakhnath, and other nirguna bhakti poet-saints\u2014songs that have been sung as part of a living oral tradition that is over six hundred years old.\n<\/div>\n
\n
Dr. Shukla\u2019s repertoire includes compositions of Tyagaraja, Tulsidas, Surdas, Meera, Tukaram, Purandardas and other poet-saints of India, as well as the musical compositions of Sufi saints. He has also been researching, recording and performing the folk songs of rural northern India, which, according to him, is an art form of unparalleled beauty which is fast becoming extinct.<\/div>\n
Dr. Shukla has performed widely in India and is currently touring the U.S. He has been recognized as a singer of devotional music by the Indian Council for Cultural Relations, an agency of the central government that supports artists to represent India culture abroad. More details are there on the website www.krishnakantshukla.org<\/div>\n
