About Sruti Ram and Ishwari: Exploding out of
Woodstock, NY off the strength of their debut CD
"Fire of Devotion", Sruti Ram and Ishwari have gained
fans and accolades for their signature style of
passionate, heart-opening Kirtan. The duo weaves their
majestic harmonies with spirited instrumentation from
talented musicians to create a music that uplifts the
spirit and nourishes the soul. Accomplished musicians in
their own right and both classically trained, Sruti Ram
has sung kirtan as his personal practice and in temples
across India while Ishwari has written and performed
her own music for 30 years. Upon meeting in 2004, the
two recognized the powerful compatibility in their styles
and one of the most exciting forces in Kirtan was
formed.
Sruti Ram and Ishwari have an active tour schedule
that includes performances at Omega Institute, Kripalu
Center for Yoga and Health, Jivamukti Yoga School and
Integral Yoga in NYC.

KIRTAN
with Sasha & Eddie Nataraj

Tickets $15.00 in advance online

Eddy Nataraj is truly a world musician. His music
brings alive the spirit of our universal culture,
beyond space and time. Eddy spent 7 years
wandering the beaches and jungles of Hawaii with
yoga scriptures and his guitar. He observed
nature, and he observed his own mind. He
realized that the mind is transparent and
spacelike, and that the identity is a simply a
memory. He reconnected his self with pure
awareness, which has no name or form. Eddy
combines spanish-flamenco guitar, and Sanskrit
mantras creating a very unique experience. Join
Eddy Nataraj, Greg Mach on Violin, and Fumio
Taniguchi on Tablas, for a very special evening of
kirtan: the yoga of sacred sound.

Steve Gorn, whose flute is featured on the 2004
Academy Award winning Documentary film, Born into
Brothels, has performed Indian Classical Music and new
American Music on the bansuri bamboo flute, soprano
saxophone and clarinet in concerts and festivals
throughout the world. Well known to audiences in India
and the west, he has been praised by critics and leading

recognized to have captured the subtlety and beauty of
Indian music. His recordings include Rasika, Luminous
Ragas, Colors of the Mind, and Priyageeta.
To practice yoga to the accompaniment of Steve Gorn's
bansuri flute is to discover the effortless
synchronization between movement and sound, gesture
and melody, and heart and form. The music sets the
tone, and mingles with the flow of the class and
personal practice to bring about an omnipresent sense of
awareness.
