Chanting: The Heart of Devotional Yoga
Jai Uttal with Jim Santi Owen and Tina Malia
Embark on a vocal journey through the sacred sounds of ancient India. With call-and-response group chanting and storytelling, Jai Uttal creates a space of invocation and prayer. Drawing from an unbroken tradition of Indian devotional singing, Jai introduces the ancient practice of kirtan (chanting), the heart of devotional yoga. This meditative practice of calling to the divine engenders a bridge between the individual and the eternal—opening the heart and welcoming the spirit. Relating stories from the spiritual epics of India as well as from his personal experiences, Jai creates a modern context in which to explore this tradition. With Jim Santi Owen on percussion and vocalist Tina Malia.
