Tour Schedule posted on main page (My Top Friend)
I've been studying and chanting bhajan and kirtan since 1996, where I attended multi-weekly kirtan in NYC, mostly with krishna das and bhagavan das.
In 1998 went to India for the first time, that's where I really began my understanding of kirtan through much searching for the powerful kirtan experience. I return to India every 2-3 years for close to half a year each visit.
In the West; Satsang with Amma, Narayan Maharaj and their devotees; Iskon and Neem Karoli devotees have alll inspired my experience.
In 1999 I produced my first kirtan cd Bhajan Anandi Vol1 , which was to my surprise very well received.
Since then I have recorded Bhajan Anandi Vol 2&3, and Bhajan Ananadi Vol 5 is out this summer 2008. I continue to hold public Kirtan around the country and world, as well as performing with Arjun & Guardians, and Fanna Fi Allah Qawwali Party.

here's some quotes:
Shiva Baum: Producer of Krishna Das " Breath of the Heart" , and Bhagavan Das- "Now": ---
"The best kirtan singer I've ever heard."
Sharon/David Gannon, Jivamukti NYC: --- "The pure sounds of coming from your voice and the music of the CD are incredibly heart opening. Yours is my favorite cd at the moment. The sound is sooo Indian I feel like I'm walking into an Indian temple. This special atmosphere created by your devotion to God causes all who hear you to feel the Presence of the Lord. David and I sincerely thank you for this offering you have made."

Until Fall 2008 this music is available for CD purchase and Download under the title "Bhajananandi - Vol 2 & 3"
After Dec 2007 all titles will appear under the title "Arjun & Guardians - Bhajan Anandi Kirtan Vol " 1, 2, and 5 available....
I've decided it's easier to keep all my music (except Fanna Fi Allah Qawwali Party) under one name. Plus I've found it's difficult for some people to say/spell Bhajananandi :)!
