Kirtan chanting has been integral to the practice of yoga (Sanskrit for "union" - the literal meaning of yoga) for thousands of years. Kirtan yoga may be most associated with the Bhakti Yoga tradition. It is essential to most other styles, as well. Traditional yoga teachers typically chant at the beginning and at the end of each hatha yoga session. Kirtan chanting - repetition of the Divine name (mantra japa) coupled with melody (raga)- is a very powerful and ancient yogic practice in its own right. As such, it may be more specifically described as Nada Yoga, or "union via sacred sound." Source:Shivadam Shivadam has led kirtan throughout the Southwest US, India and Nepal and has provided accompaniment for other kirtan and Indian music events including for Self-Realization Fellowship, Krishna Das, and many of India's master musicians. Shivadam leads with harmonium and swarmandal, and he also plays tabla, dilruba, sitar, and other strings and percussion. With proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking Hindi and Sanskrit, Shivadam brings decades of musical/spiritual practice and travels in India and Nepal into his authentically traditional, yet accessible, kirtan style. He is co-founder of the Phoenix Kirtan Sangha and the Phoenix-based kirtan ensemble, Prema Rupa, and he also regularly leads Dances of Universal Peace. He is an award-winning composer and recording artist, as well as an accomplished visual artist, most recently specializing in Indian iconography.
