Come Sing With Us!

Join Mataprasad (aka Dr. Martin Orimenko, of the Live Well Holistic Health Center) and East Eagle Yoga for a beautiful evening of song, spirit and community.  This will be Martin's first east coast Kirtan concert since moving back to the area from the San Francisco Bay area.

Mataprasad wrote his first bhajan many years ago in a cave temple in India, reciting a mantra with guitar in hand and letting whatever melody come through. It was a deep experience. On the 24th he'll be performing his first CD, "Offering", with a few songs thrown in from his up-and-coming second CD, "Blessing".

Kirtan, or devotional singing, is another branch of yoga that deepens all aspects of your practice. Practicing bhakti yoga via kirtan, even for one evening, tends to enhance the other branches of yoga. The chanting of these ancient mantras, set to my original melodies, has a wonderful effect on your mind, body and spirit. The combination of a group singing in unison, the breathing aspect and the meaning and energy of the mantras creates something rich and magical.
