Sing Along of Swami Kriyananda's Music
2020-04-04 20:00 - 21:00 | Online Zoom Event
A Sing-Along on Facebook Live
https://www.facebook.com/TheAnandaJoySingers/posts/1904540799675969
“The deeper aim of the early rishi-musicians was to blend the singer with the Cosmic Song which can be heard through awakening of man’s occult spinal centers. Indian music is a subjective, spiritual, and individualistic art, aiming not at symphonic brilliance but at personal harmony with the Oversoul. The Sanskrit word for musician is bhagavathar, “he who sings the praises of God.” The sankirtans or musical gatherings are an effective form of yoga or spiritual discipline, necessitating deep concentration, intense absorption in the seed thought and sound. Because man himself is an expression of the Creative Word, sound has the most potent and immediate effect on him, offering a way to remembrance of his divine origin.”
–P. Yogananda in Autobiography of a Yogi

This program will be led by Dhuti Elizabeth Johnson, who has been performing and teaching Ananda Music for over 40 years, and was personally trained by Swami Kriyananda.
