Beat Lively Kirtans and Heart Chants

Welcome to the Wild Moon Bhaktas blog. 2012 was a great year for the group. We were busy bringing our music to a number of centers and spirit-places in the Twin Cities area. Yogis, sufis, seekers and friends on the spiritual path, and a host of others joined us to listen to our music and sing the sweet names of the Spirit. We are grateful.

The year drew to a close with two special events: On November 18th at One Yoga in Minneapolis, we celebrated the release of our CD, “From the Ganges to the Mississippi.” Lots of folks and friends filled the place up. We were fortunate to have songstress and roots music woman Barbara Meyer join us on vocals, guitar and percussion – she sings on the CD, with the talented Hanakia Zedek on percussion. Pascale LaPointe of Kirtan Path -who also sings on the CD – sang with us as well. It was a memorable night. The CD was two years in the making, and a real labor of love. You can download tracks through the Download menu option on our website. We hope it becomes a soundtrack for your spiritual life. Several of the pictures on the home page of our website were shot at this event.

The second special event to close out 2012 was on the last day – December 31st, for the Third Annual New Year’s Kirtan. Hosts and good friend from Kirtan Path, notably Pascale LaPoint organizes it. Kirtan Path and the Wild Moon Bhaktas played over fours of kirtan We also performed a ritual for the new year that envisioned planting “seeds” of things we hope will bloom in the coming year.

Rumi says:
“When love first tasted the lips of being human,
it started singing.
