Snatam Kaur: Sacred Chant Concert
april 4, 2010 sunday 7:30pm
Snatam Kaur Khalsa ·lead performer·
Concert, chantfest, musical group meditation, a yoga class in melody . . . how best to describe a live performance by Snatam Kaur and her band? It’s all of these things and more. Crystalline and radiant, Snatam’s voice is redolent of the simple yet powerful truth of the heart.
Snatam’s divinely melodic songs based on traditional Sikh mantras are augmented by simple, heartfelt English verses that express the meanings these sacred syllables hold and help the audience forge their own emotional connection. Snatam is ably supported by devotional music stalwart Guru Ganesha Singh, who handles the guitar with effortless grace, slipping easily between chordal rhythms and mellifluous leads.
Snatam accompanies herself on harmonium (Indian pump organ), as well as violin and guitar. The harmonium and tablas ground the sound in Punjabi Sikh musical tradition, but the music also has a decidedly Western flavor. Most of the concert songs are done in the call-and response kirtan tradition, which builds an energetic momentum that palpably fills each concert space.
Snatam often leads audiences in a round of pranayama (yogic breathing) or gets everyone on their feet for a stretching exercise that soon becomes a sacred dance. By the end of the night you will be let in on a great cosmic secret: devotional music is fun.

India Yatra
Khalsa Ladies India Yatra is an annual intentional journey of the soul to experience the Adi Shakti in Mother India. We are answering a call to this experience with our souls, with courage, enthusiasm and excitement, and our deep stillness. We connect with the sacred sites of the Sikhs in India such as the Golden Temple and Anandpursahib —the birth place of the Khalsa.
This yatra is done within a group consciousness. Though you will have considerable free time, you are held in the group consciousness, and participate in the group activities in a sincere way.
