About Me

I live at shoshoni yoga retreat, (been there for quite a few years now), taking care of the grounds, fixing pipes, shoveling snow you know doing things that you usually wouldn't think of as being spiritual act. But what the teachings of yoga have taught me is that every act can be a spiritual act, It all depends on your attitude. So all the dishes that I scrub is like scrubbing away all the sludge inside of me, gives me a good kick in the butt! I empty out and fill back up with inspiration and I try to write from that space. Sooooo I hope you like my songs. SURYADAS

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 31/03/2008
Band Members: I play solo most of the time (just me and myself), but sometimes the position of the planets are just right for the FLAMIN’ SUNS to touchdown from deep space, Thats a rare occurrence and sure is a experience to be had. The members are: narada-drum, Bhiarava-electric guitar, and tara bass. Kumara played the keys on the album focus on the bliss.
Influences: I was a song writer from the start, just didn’t know. I’ve always payed attention to words, the meaning, the melody, the rhyme, the whole structure of the song. I first found it in hip-hop. It completely blow my mind how many words could be put into 1 line. Punk came next in my freshmen year of high school. I don’t know what to say about that other than they where catchy songs that really expressed the frustration (and lots of anger) with society. I really related to that. I once bought a anarchy patch cause I saw other punks wearing them, didn’t know what it meant, but found out soon, decided being a punk wasn’t for me. Well I guess I thought I then had to get more peaceful, more mellow, more stoned as a way to escape society. So along came the 60’s, beetle’s, grateful dead, door’s, pink floyd just to name a few. This lasted through high school, till I finally figured out if I wanted to escape society, if I wanted to escape the pain, the anxiety, the fear, the worry, I had to escape ME! The world that I created. Soooooooo I went to shoshoni yoga retreat and got my head back on straight. One evening I played for my guru for the first time and it went really well. He said I sound like bob dylan and I said I should pick up some of his music. Then Bob dylan (and woody) came into the mix, put all of it together and you got SURYADAS!!!!!!!
Sounds Like: Dylan on yoga
