Australia was a beautiful whirlwind. Still digesting. Straight after we arrived back we were at Hofstra University to do a tribute concert for George Harrison and in a few days we’ll be flying to San Francisco for another Bhakti Bar concert with Jai Uttal. Phew. Here’s some little moments that capture a slice of our [...]

King of the Hill
Though I was completely wiped out today after getting into DC at 4am this morning, it turned out to be a beautiful day. It was raining hard when I woke up, groggy and ready to rush to leave for our midday Unity Walk event in DC. My phone showed several missed calls from my friends [...]

New York Minute
We’ve been in and out of New York this weekend in the blink of an eye. Driving from DC on early Friday morning, we spent the day rehearsing for our upcoming George Harrison concert at Hofstra University, then had an incredible evening at Ashtanga Yoga. It was my first time there and I was completely [...]

Tired.
I wish I could write about travelling to Block Island by ferry, and about doing kirtan in a seaside church. I wish I had written something about the beauty of Maine as the leaves begin to change colour and about a magical day in Boston. I’m just so tired! This tour is non-stop, and blogging [...]

The past two months have been intense, non-stop, eye-opening and educational, as I’ve travelled across America in a white van with the ‘Gaura Vani and As Kindred Spirits’ kirtan band on our ‘Mantralogy’ tour. We move from place to place, usually stopping for no more than a day to perform kirtan a diverse range of [...]

What Lies Beneath: De-junking the Lake!
Today was Gundicha Marjana, a day when hundreds of years ago in Puri, on the East coast of India, worshippers of Lord Jagannath gathered to cleanse the Gundicha temple from top to bottom. They took a vow to speak only Krishna’s name whilst they worked - splashing water everywhere and competing to see who could [...]

On Standby – Back To Reality!
Since graduating just over two weeks ago, I’ve barely even thought about writing a blog. My relationship with my keyboard has changed perhaps. I spent many hundreds of hours, typing away on all of my essays and projects, and as soon as they were finished, I realised it was high time my computer and I [...]

Kishori Yatra – Easter 2009: Day Five – Saying Goodbye
By the last day of our trip, I was exhausted! I never realised how much energy it took to lead a trip like this, and I was really grateful that I wasn’t doing it alone!
We spent the morning cleaning up the house we’d been staying in. Between all the girls, we managed to finish on [...]
