"Humans are bound by karma (actions)except those done as yajna (offering). Therefore, O Arjuna, do your duty efficiently as a service or Seva, not seeking to control results of action." Baghavad-Gita III.9

We are given the sun and breath everyday, nothing expected in return. Song is our gift, an offering in gratitude.

Yajna means sacrifice, selfless service, unselfish work, Seva, meritorious deeds, giving away something to others. Sometimes this verse is translated as “Let your work then be worshipful, an offering, full of devotion.” We will explore many verses from the Gita; the nature of action, thought and emotion, karma yoga, bhakti yoga, values and intention.

Understand & Experience Action and Devotion, Karma and Bhakti in the context of teachings from the Baghavad- Gita and the Upanishads. Sing explorations of sound, NADA YOGA, based on sacred seed (BIJA) syllables and the north Indian Classical Raga traditions.

Karl has been exploring tone and breath since his first yoga classes more than 20 years ago. Karl studies with North Indian Classical master Pandit Mukesh Desai, a disciple of Pandit Jasraj. Karl began working with Pandit Desai in 1996. He also studies sanskrit, VEDANTA, VEDIC CHANTING, DEVOTION and GRACE with Swami Dayananda Saraswati. We will sing some of Swamiji's bhajans. Karl practiced native american ceremonial song and chant for many years, studied jazz vocals in SF, and continues to study East Indian sacred and healing chants and tone with Pandit Mukesh Desai, Silvia Nakkach and others in San Francisco Bay Area.
