Rasa explores that magical place where Sensuality, Spirituality and Style Converge.
Rasa is Sanskrit for the flavor or essence of a thing or eventliterally the sap or juice. The elements of Rasa are embodied in music, images, and environments with roots as diverse and exotic as Mumbai, Marrakesh, Varanasi, Bahia and other ancient mystical places with branches in New York, Paris, London, Milan, San Francisco, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Sydney.
For too long, spirituality existed on a cushion in an ashram. For too long, spirituality meant austerity and denial of the senses. Rasa challenges us to think and live differently and embrace a new paradigm where ones inner Buddha, inner Mecca, and inner altar can relax, do yoga and continue to work, play and flourish in the present world.
Rasa embraces the senses and recognizes the dance of life as the path to unite our spirit with our daily lives. Creating sacred environments in the home with candles, scents, and music. Rasa encourages immersion in a sensual and spiritual life.
Yoga, poetry, massage, ecstatic dance, candlelit dinners, scented baths, meditation, and conversation. Rasa provides the soundtrack.
Recording with Deepak Chopra, releasing the soundtracks of Paris-based Indian film-maker Pan Nalin, or recording Australian aborigines on sacred tribal lands, Rasa creates a sensuous and beautiful environment without losing the artists essential spirit and intention.
Donna DCruz, the founder and CEO of Rasa was born in India and grew up in Australia before settling in New York. Her personal journey makes her qualified to weave contemporary rhythms and music with mystical and spiritual world traditions. DCruz is a DJ as well as a model and her connections in the club and fashion worlds allow her to bring together these worldly scenes with spiritual traditions.
Rasa offers for sale a luxurious line of essential aromatherapy candles reflective of the music and lifestyle that Rasa embraces: Rasa Exhale, Rasa Sensual, Rasa Meditation, Rasa Exotica and Rasa Serenity.
