Some spiritual truths cannot be conveyed in words—but are carried instantly to the soul when experienced directly through music. Vaiyasaki Das, an international kirtan singer, will perform at Sunshine Yoga to share his passion for chanting sacred mantras.

With over forty years of experience, Vaiyasaki Das has been called “the Godfather of Kirtan.” He is one of the early Western pioneers to present the spiritual practice and musical art of mantra chanting around the world. His unique kirtan style was inspired by the various Kirtan Traditions he absorbed while living in India and Bengal.

An evening of kirtan with Vaiyasaki Das includes spiritual stories, a musical groove, and his irresistible sweet voice to delight your heart and enchant your soul.

Vaiyasaki Das travels the world with his wife Kishori who plays percussion. They come to Sunshine Yoga on their 2019 tour after performing in Italy, Malta, England, Spain, Thailand, India, Scotland, Switzerland, Paris, Ukraine, United States, and Mexico.

His considerable knowledge of the vast repertoire of ancient devotional mantra chanting has provided the foundation for a new generation of artists in the flourishing genre of kirtan yoga and mantra meditation.

His CDs include: The Way of Love, Charana Kamal, Kirtan Rasa, Hari-Nam-Ananda, Transcendence, Vrindavan Chandra, Ratha-Yatra USA, Best of Vaiyasaki, Sri Krishna Divya Nam – the beautiful divine name, & Kirtan Explosion – high energy kirtans.
