Welcome back to New World Kirtan. I’m so glad you’re here.
For the first episode of our new season, I sat down with the extraordinary Saul David Raye — musician, teacher, and devoted practitioner of yoga and sacred world music.
We talked about what community means in today’s world, how kirtan opens the heart, and what it means to keep showing up for the practice through grief and change. And toward the end, Saul shares his deep conviction that this work is about one thing: turning the world toward love.
My 2013 interview with Saul is here.
Musical selection: Mother I Feel You Under My Feet (Gayatri Mantra)
P.S. Sometimes you’ll hear our Siamese cat Leela in the background. She’s the Queen of the house, and generally has a lot to say.
