The River Is Flowing - excerpt of the concert with Fantuzzi @Yoga_Vidya #Musikfestival 2012 Mar 04, 2013

Show notes

Fantuzzi was one of the top act at the 8th Yoga Vidya Music Festival 2012. He sings in this excerpt of his concert at Yoga Vidya in Spanish the Spiritual »The river is flowing, flowing and growing. The river is flowing back to the sea. Mother Earth carry me, your child I will always be, Mother Earth carry me, back to the sea.« and continues to the english version of this spiritual. It's quite fantastic what follows on the Spiritual ... - over 10 minutes magic and fascination, joy of life are difficult to compress into a MP3 file, but maybe this recording gives an impression of how exhilarating the 8th Music Festival has been - from 9th to 13th May 2013 will start the ninth Yoga Vidya Music Festival in 2013 again with fantastic artists. - More about Fantuzzi and his music can be found on his musician website www.fantuzzimusic.com.

Jaya Ganesha Kirtan Chanting with Darshini Devi Mar 01, 2013

Show notes

Jaya Ganesha - chanted by Darshini Devi - instrumental accompanied with a harmonium played by Darshini Devi and violin, played by Yvan. The Jaya Ganesha is probably one of the most popular Kirtans in Yoga Vidya Ashrams and yoga centers as well as in the Sivananda Yoga ashrams and centers. This Kirtan is a collection of mantras focused on spiritual awakening, healing and activation of all internal forces.
The Jaya Ganesha Kirtan was taken by Swami Sivananda and his students made it very popular. You can listen and hear it in every satsang in the centers and ashrams of the Divine Life Society, the Sivananda Yoga and Yoga Vidya Centers. Really very uplifting.
This recording is taken from a saturday evening satsang in Yoga Vidya Ashram Meinberg. More from and about Darshini Devi can be found on www.darshini devi.de - Om Shanti, Omkara
