Kirtan with Suzanne Sterling (Indianapolis, IN)

By Jon Silpayamanant on November 9, 2011 8:30 PM
SuzanneSterling.jpgOn Friday night I will be accomanying Kirtan musician, Suzanne Sterling, with my group il Troubadore at City Yoga in Indianapolis.

Part tent revival, part rock show, all Bhakti, Suzanne Sterling has been called "A musical priestess, who brilliantly weaves lyric, melody and rhythm into a magical spell that entrances us to discover the sacred song within our own heart." (Seane Corn).

Her current concerts and Kirtans are a thoroughly modern exploration of devotional music and have been known to have an audience on their feet in a matter of minutes. She has been called a soulful and groove-loving musical priestess - refining and reinventing the ancient traditions of ecstatic prayer through the voice.

Kirtan (from the Sanskrit word meaning "to sing") is a folk form of mantra chanting that arose from the Bhakti movement of 15th century India. The Bhaktis wrote ecstatic love poems to the divine, and went around singing all the time. Their message was simple: Cultivate joy.

Suzanne is a long time Kirtan wallah who brings a modern, improvisational and deeply spiritual interpretation to this ancient art form. Guaranteed to lift your heart, enliven your voice and enrich your yoga and life.
