Hi Wah, This email is long  overdue...If I knew how to reach you in a more personal way I would surely do so. I would like to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to you. Both of my children entered this world to your beautiful music. On January 23, 2009 my son, Tristan, entered this world to your music in my home surrounded by love , my husband and our 3 amazing midwives. Almost 2 years later my daughter, Piper, entered this world to your music, in my home in a birthing pool surrounded by love and 2 of our amazing midwives on December 23, 2010. I just wanted to reach out to you and thank you. On so many different levels your music and love played such an amazing part in my life. I don’t know if you will ever see this email ( I truly hope you will). I wish for you to know that my family will forever remember you, embrace you , and honor you. You have made impression on my life and the lives of my children. I hope you are well and happy and soaring. Thank you, Massage Mavens 8/18/11 7:44 PM

How lovely to receive your email and know that the light and love prayed into the music reached your ears and those new ones you have brought into the world.  It is a privelege to be able to connect deeply with others as they expand and grow their lives into full-on joy!  Thank you for sharing, With love all ways, wah 9/13/11 9:15am

On the fall equinox of 2010... I write you... I was touched by your music during a recent yoga class. I had never heard such.  I searched and found much on the Internet. I started reading more and more and found how much I can learn. I read your article about transformation and 2012, and now your writing The Story Behind MAA. Thank you for giving the world so much! Namaste Lenny Tuesday, September 21, 2010 8:29 AM

Dear Wah! Thank you for your wonderful music! My favourite is "Transformation" - it came to me several years ago and it is still a pleasure to listen to it. I like to use your version of "har" for meditation in my Kundalini Yoga sessions. Now I bought Child's Play here in Germany, it really is great music not only for children. Unfortunatly the CD is without a booklet, and as my english is not as good to understand every word you sing I would like to get a link to the written words. So I ask you to send me the texts if it is possible...Thank you very much, Sat Nam, Barbara/GERMANY Kleinmoor 6/19/10 4:54 AM

Sat nam barbara, On this page http://wahmusic.com/music_childsplay.html, there are links to the lyrics. Maybe you should sing them and teach them in german... All the best of luck in your teaching! wah 6/28/10 4:51 PM

Dear Wah! I attended your performance at Blissworks Yoga & Healing Arts in New London, CT several years ago and at Kripalu. And I have several of your CDs, including Savasana, which I regularly play during a yoga class for teens 11 - 21 who have special needs. There's a young woman, "Angel," who has cerebral palsy and many health challenges, including contractures that affect her arms and hands. She's incredibly expressive through her eyes and facial expressions as she is unable to speak and she has very little ability for independent movement.

During the yoga class she is lying on a raised PT mat. She participates in the yoga as much as she can. For example, she raises her arms and stretches out through her legs (but never straight). She loves your music. Many of the kids have certain roles in the class, based on their unique abilities. For example, there's a boy who leads the closing chant, lokaha samasta... He has autism and he often repeats what he hears.

"Angel" is my music assistant. I set my iPod to you music and set it next to her. She gets so excited when she hears it coming. She absolutely loves your music. So much that I gave her the Savasana CD so that she could listen to it at home too. I've been meaning to write to you on her behalf because she so delights in your music and I thought that you might like to know that. Breathe, you can relax now...yoga heals us. Namaste, Karen O'Donnell Clarke Wednesday, June 16, 2010 8:08 AM

Hey Wah...I met you in Tucson years back and then we moved to Oregon to my aunt's 60 acre organic farm (and had another girl!).  I have thought of writing you so many times to thank you for your heart opening music!  I have laughed and cried so many times as I listen to your beautiful voice reminding me of my connection to Amma, goddess, etc.  It has been the one solace I have had in times that are hard...and during childbirth!  Well at last I have atleast gotten the chance to say thank you from the bottom of my heart...your music has made a difference in my life and I love hearing my 6 year old chant along with you! Blessings sweet one... Alison November 15, 2009 01:29 AM

hello Wah, my name is David and I have a bit of a unique story to tell you of how I discovered your music and how it is impacting lives, particularly the lives of children.I teach 6th grade and to start the school year I wanted my students to learn to quiet their minds. I used the word "quiet time' to them. i was not sure how I was going to introduce them to meditation. About a week before school started I was watching an Eckhart Tolle video. At the end I heard this amazingly magnificent music. It was you. I immediately bought "Gayatri" from itunes yo use at school. From the first day of school, and three times a day, I sound a tone, play your music for 2-3 minutes. It has been amazing. When my 31 squirrely 11-12 year olds know it is "quiet time, the room becomes palpably more still and serene as they find their spot to relax. As time has passed, I have used your devotional music as a soft, soothing background to these children for hours at a time! They don't like to admit it, but they absolutely love the music. Personally, your music has become a big part of my own life. Even my own 12 year old son plays your music to start and end his day. I have also passed your music on to other teachers that use it. So, I want to thank you. My family will be driving 2 hours south to Santa Barbara to see you perform on Dec. 12. I told my students I was going to meet you and ask you to sign a poster I don;t know if that is even possible. Regardless, I want you to know what you are doing is magic. and I thank you deeply. Namaste, David Sarbeck Saturday, October 31, 2009 11:19 PM

Hi Wah - I've been working like mad and was generally run-down on Friday. It was rough and I needed some inspiration so I blasted LOVE HOLDING LOVE and some other CDs as I trudged through the day’s demands. Monday morning, one of my office-neighbors came to my office to ask me about the wonderful music I played on Friday. She told me that it sounded like Sade singing in a foreign language. She said that a) she loved the music and did not mind me blasting it from my office, and b) she could not get the tunes out of her head. She found herself whistling and humming the little bit of the tunes she could remember all through out the weekend. She came to ask me where and how she could purchase your music. I was all too happy to share your website with her.  You truly are a gift that keeps on giving. (-; I saw that you’re still touring wide and far. I am so very happy for you and for the world (to have the chance to see you live). All my love and light, anita Monday, October 19, 2009 11:13 AM

Bought "Embrace". I love it and I love you for donating the money to Amma's charities. You are blessed for this. Amma is the closest person to the divine i have ever heard about or seen. Sherry Trainor from Monte Rio, California Wednesday, July 22, 2009 12:05 AM

Hi Wah, So I'm lying in bed after a 12 hour workday feeling totally burnt out and I'm tuned into KPFK (Los Angeles) to help me unwind. The most gorgeous piece of music is being played and I'm letting go of all this stress and I wonder "who is this?" At the end, they say that "that was the music of Wah. W-A-H" and then the station i.d. I laughed and had to just say thanks wherever you are. I'd say you rock but maybe you soothe is better description. Peace, Annie Friday, July 17, 2009 1:04 AM

Dear Wah! I am a Kundalini Yoga teacher and practitioner in Norman, Oklahoma (yes, we actually have Kundalini Yoga in Oklahoma believe it or not). I used to subscribe to Gurmukh's "Yoga of the Month" DVD club and she often played a super fast version of Gobinde Mukande Udare Apare Hariong Kariong Nirname Akame Har Har Har Har. I am in love with this version but have not been able to find it. Recently at Summer Solstice I heard it!!! I was told that you were the artist. Can you please let me know the name of the track and the name of the CD? I have searched all your works song by song and have not been able to find it. Any help is appreciated in advance, Sat Nam, Lisa (aka Sat Purusha Kaur) 7/1/09 2:45 PM

Lisa, I think it is track 5 from Transformation called "Healing of the Heart." But I can't find sound clips anywhere online, it's an older track. Spiritvoyage sells the album. Rock on, glad to hear you are bringing light to Oklahoma! wah Thursday, July 2, 2009 6:10 AM

Wah, I heard your music at the Anthropologie store yesterday! What a great surprise! It was the dance mix of Mahadeva, amongst a lovely assortment of adult alternative songs. Thought you should know. Love always, Jody Tuesday, June 30, 2009 2:03 PM

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Hi Wah! I play your CD "Love Holding Love" in my yoga classes all the time, I absolutely love it! Especially the song "Unconditional" which I like to play during savasana. It just takes me away, it is just the most beautiful song. Thanks for putting out such amazing music! Sincerely, Missy from Naples, FL Wednesday, June 17, 2009 8:19 PM

Wah: we are love, love, loving the ma chant kali in LA! thank you, thank you, thank you. Brian L. Gallo 5/16/09

Hi - This CD (CD Krishna) may be the best compilation of Kirtan to meditate by, to chant by, to travel by, to live by, to work by....I have many CD's that embellish the Lord Sri Krsna and this one gets played the most.  George Harrison would have owned this CD!  Jnana Bhakti Dasa 4/27/09 12:03 PM

Hi, I just bought Buddha Cafe 2 and heard your voice in there (Maha Deva). I looked in the credits and yes, of course you were there. Very cool. I have Buddha Cafe 1 so I bought this one. I like their mixes - nice music for driving. Namah Shivaya, Jukka Monday, March 30, 2009 10:08 AM

Greetings.  I just discovered your track on Planet Yoga, and felt compelled to hear more.  I'm 23, and legally blind, so I'm very passionate about music, and the wonder of sound.  I just wanted to say yours is the first CD I've actually bothered to purchase in literally 10 years.  Your music is absolutely enchanting and inspiring.  Thank you for Being. Sincerely, Asha 3/22/09 10:47 PM

Asha, Thank you for your kind, sweet words.  I am melted. I have had some students come to yoga class with their seeing eye dog, who slept at the foot of the mat while they did yoga.  And I myself have often thought I was blind, as a child I used to do everything in the dark (filling the glass of water while holding my finger in the top so I knew when it was full, hands on the walls feeling my way down the hallways and stairs, hanging out with the blind piano tuner who came to the house, etc).  Im sure it’s just a memory from another life, but the blindness is what brought me to singing, and hence to my connection with God and myself.  Thank you so much for your words.  I hope we meet sometime. My love- wah Monday, March 23, 2009 8:05 PM

WAH~ what is the song that you are playing on your website homepage. i love and would like to dl it, but i can't seem to find the title. thanks so much, vanessa =) 11/5/07 9:20 PM

hi vanessa- it is called Maha Deva. It is available from www.oneworldmusic.com.au "Mantras in Motion" is the name of the CD, it is a compilation and Wah!'s Maha Deva is track #9. I'm not sure it's available for download yet, you can check their website. Maha Deva will also be released in US by Globesonic Entertainment, but that will be a few months coming. thanks for writing! wah 11/27/2007 7:43 PM

Wah, My dear friend Robert played your cd for me while I was visiting Yogaville. As a going away gift he gave me the most wonderful gift of "Hidden in the Name" Since Monday, it has been constantly playing and it is very elevating and inspiring. Thank you for your wonderful gift to all of us and for touching our hearts. Om Shanti Ishwari Fri 5/25/2007 10:03 AM

I've been listening to Savasana for the first time, and simply had to tell you how blown away I was by it. I try and expose myself to a vast myriad of music from all over the place. There's lots of good stuff out there, but not too many albums I own hit me on the deep spiritual level yours did. It's timeless! Thanks for sharing yourself with the world -- keep doing exactly what you're doing. :) - Ido Sat 5/26/2007 1:24 AM

thank you so much ido. your words come at exactly the right time. you have softened yesterday's tough travel day.... in light, wah Tues 5/292007 3:45 PM

Wah I am loving the Mahadeva recording on your website. I have been searching to purchase it, but cannot find it on any of your cds, your website, itunes, etc. Help....I love it and would like to purchase it. in gratitude for your lovely voice and your shanti that it brings. susann Wednesday, May 09, 2007 7:52 PM

susann, that song will be released in August on Intentcity Records "Buddha Cafe Vol II." you can check www.intentcity.com for updates, or I can send you an email. thanks for your interest! paul and I have taken our sweet time getting this new album under way, so we thought it best to release Maha Deva on a compilation, so people could have that song at least. hope you enjoy, wah Saturday May 19, 2007 4:59 PM

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Wah!, "The Best of Wah!" on Sounds True flows real nice from beginning to end. It's one of my favorite CDs. Peace, Gary Wed 5/2/2007 10:28 AM

Hey Wah: I ordered your 10 year 'Best Of' and just listened to Heart Sutra for the first time. The Spirits came in and wrapped themselves around my body. I literally melted into my sofa!... You have always been an innovator with your work. Arnie Sun 4/29/2007 7:57 AM

Wah, You are truly amazing! Your voice has gotten deep into my soul and has entered a place of healing for me. I am recovering from a car accident which I am learning, has helped me slow down in my life. During a massage recently, I was blessed with the delight of hearing your voice for the very first time. It isn't too often that music will affect me like yours has. I am lost for words! I have not been able to find your new CD "The Best of Wah". So in the meantime, each time I log onto the computer I click on your website to play clips from each of your CD's. Instantly I am engulfed in a peacefulness that I cannot explain. I am sure you have heard this before from many others, but I have a strong desire to share what I am feeling with you now. My healing comes from within and I know that when I am drawn to something as powerful as your voice and words, I have been truly blessed. I wish I could have found you long ago but realize that now was the time for me to invite you into my life. I will find your music and add it to my collection. I have a 30 minute drive to work each day and I have memorized the words of "Gayatri" and I find myself singing this beautiful song many times a day. Absolutely wonderful. If you are ever in Canada, I will definitely plan to be a part of your circle of love. I am greatful for your gift. You are truly blessed. With love and light, I am Jane. Ontario Canada Friday, March 30, 2007 8:33 PM

hi Jane, I am delighted to get your email and hear of your healing. certainly your work on the physical level has led to healing on spiritual and other levels. I am so happy to hear of your progress! emotional healing is elusive and annoying, but physical healing is most challenging. you can't get away from physical pain, you have to go at the pace your body dictates. I am glad you are enjoying the music. you can always buy Best of Wah from Sounds True. http://store.soundstrue.com/mm01079d.html I don't know what their shipping is to Canada. or you can buy any of the other CDs from cdbaby, they are great. maybe savasana or savasana*2 would be good for your healing. http://cdbaby.com/found?allsearch=wah&allsearchsubmit=Search thank you for sharing your journey. it means so much to me to know that people are out there, transforming their lives, their bodies, their minds. rock on, girl... jai, wah Tuesday, April 3, 2007 6:14 PM

Greetings from Singapore! Hi Wah! :) I listen to your music almost every day. My favorite is the Om Mani Padme Hum chant in Jai Jai Jai, and next is Hare Krishna on Savasana. You might be tickled to know that your music was first circulated in Shanghai about 4 years ago, I was taking yoga with Abby who was a friend of Julie (Julie's Yoga she mentioned) who had your music, and our corpse practice was played to Hare Krishna. I googled your music after that and it has followed me since. Thank you thank you thank you. There is so much love present. Chor Pharn Mon 3/26/2007 7:06 AM

Hi! Firstly thank you for creating such beautiful music, i use it during my yoga classes and you are becoming very popular in Galway, Ireland, maybe a trip to Ireland could be scheduled in the near future? :) Secondly, i adore "Closing" and have tried to find the lyrics online but to no avail,could you send them on to me, then myself and my students can sing it to ourselves during our own relaxation or time outs:) Thanking you, Namaste, Maev Saturday, March 17, 2007 9:28 AM

hi maev- you can get the lyrics from the music page http://www.wahmusic.com/music_savasana.html love, wah

youve made my night xx

WAH-What is that beautiful chant on your homepage? I would like to purchase the cd that contains it, however, i don't know which one it is. I could not find the name of this particular chants. Thanks for your help. Many Blessings. Namaste and Hare Krishna !! susan Saturday, March 24, 2007 8:34 AM

Susan- thank you for your enthusiasm for "Maha Deva" - we love it too! - it is from the CD we are currently working on. (not yet released). but there is goodnews-, Maha Deva will be featured on a compilation from Intentcity Records which will be released in a month or so. www.intentcity.com. I can email you when it comes out if you want. thanks, wah Mar 24, 2007, at 12:03 PM

haribol! yes, please, if you would email when it is out on cd that would be much appreciated. any plans on visiting santa fe, new mexico ? there is no kirtan here (that i know of.....i'm a recent transplant from california) and an infusion of your lovely chanting (and a rocking kirtan) would be a blessing. just something to think about.......thanks and wishing you peace, susan Saturday, March 24, 2007 5:37 PM

hi susan- we come to santa fe about once a year. best place in town is BODY, on Cordova Rd, and their spa is amazing, definitely worth the visit. they have regular chanting concerts, great artists come through there. and a great anusara yoga center is Spandaramayoga... and if you are up to it, visit Taos Hanuman Temple. they have great chant programs as well. best, wah Sun 3/25/2007 2:48 PM

Hi I just bought Embrace, it is really good. Especially the last track on Come to Me (the raw unpolished version) was so real, so close, it washed me away. Thank you, Wah, this is really really good. I have never met Amma except through Lonely Planet's Shapiro visiting her documentary, but I could feel someone emmanating mother love through this track. Thanks, it is the best! Your savassana rocks too! Lee Wednesday, March 14, 2007 5:39 PM

thanks lee, that documentary is a great way to meet her! there were things in the film that I never experienced live love wah Sunday, March 25, 2007 5:20 PM

Hey Wah, how's it going? I just got back from Bahamas late Tues nite after seeing you perform the evening concert and after noon workshop. It was so nice to meet you and be exposed to your music and stories. I really enjoyed you. I've had the chant "Love is - arms open wide" can't remember the rest of it, but I got off the plane with "arms open wide" truly with me. What CD is that on? I had this amazing experience while there, talk about a major breakthrough and had this whole other worldly experience like nothing I've had before. Wow is all I can say. I'm listening to you on myspace at moment. When the music started my whole body just reacted and got all this tingling in my body, it was cool! I'm also a musician, I was right back into things and did a gig in Boston last nite. Can't wait to get home tonite, sit down with my guitar and see what happens. I have a feeling I've a bunch of new material inside me!!! Ok, hope to see you again. Take care. Ciao, peace and love, Elaine Thursday, March 22, 2007 6:18 AM

hi elaine, great to hear from you. the bahamas was great, it was just what I needed to relax and restore. I am glad you enjoyed the music. the song you refer to is the title track from Embrace. http://www.wahmusic.com/music_embrace.html you can listen to track #3. how nice that you are a musician! what style of music do you play? we don't come to boston much, but kripalu is a regular stopover for us. wishing you many creative moments, peace, wah Sun 3/25/2007 2:59 PM

SitaRam! Namaste to such a great and gentle soul - thank you for pouring your heart and soul out for all of us to participate/learn/sing/pray. I am finding it impossible to find one track of yours that is my ultimate favorite - It is "Rahda Govinda", from your Savasana2 album. I encountered this song thru adding Amma on my "mypage" friends. Thank you - know that no matter what, keep pouring out to RadhaGovinda, for the more you pour out, the more you are infused with. Namaste, and love. Trina Fri 3/9/2007 8:59 PM

trina-i-tunes now offers individual songs for purchase. go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/music.html and type "wah" in search engine. wah Sat 3/10/2007 8:10 AM

Hi, I was wondering if you can tell me the name of the song played when first entering Wah's website. Is this song on the best of Wah? Thanks much. Peace, Billie Fontaine Mon 3/5/2007 2:26 AM

billie. it is from the new CD we are still working on sorry to share something you cannot purchase yet; but it's part of our concerts and most fans know the song already.

Namaste Wah! Even after listening to your CD Krishna for the past 7 years, my family loves it daily! I don't know why there is certainly a magic or a miracle in those songs, is truly the voice that baits you to bliss and serenity. I have spent lots of money in so many other CDs, but this one still stands out as the BEST OF THE BEST in among all Kirtans. Yes #1 as per the Bharatiya choice. We love listening to your Jai! Jai!! Jai!!! also. If you ever visit Texas, consider our family home as yours. As always continue with lots of joys in life. Gurudeva Datta! Hari OM - Neeraj Tue 2/20/2007 9:28 PM

Wah! Your Cd to Amma (EMBRACE)I just bought is amazing. I can't stop listening to it. Track #8 is unspeakably amazing (In this Night). I never heard that before on your other CD's. Enjoy being in LA and blessings again to you and praise for your incredible gifts to the world (to yoga teachers and students.) Stacie Wed 2/7/2007 10:34 PM

Wah-I just want to also let you know that "One In A Million" from the Embrace CD is amazing... I can feel Mother through your beautiful homage to Her and I can't begin to tell you how helpful it has all been! I mean it, so thank you from my deepest Heart...I put my iPod on in the subway and listen to "One In A Million" or "Can You Save Me" and I am filled with Mother's presence and suddenly I see all the other people on the train as manifestations of Mother and I see how beautiful they all are. Gowrish Wed 1/17/2007 8:25 PM

Namaste and Aloha Wah ... Whenever nothing seems to give me the euphoria I crave , I just turn on your CDs and sail up into Devotional Divine Love Bliss under Your Wings !!! The Grace that flows through you is sooooooooo especially Euphoric to my soul . Thank you for choosing to share the most precious essence you have... Your Self! It is all present in the moment for us all to awaken to with Devotion. Eternal Love .... John Wednesday, January 17, 2007 11:22 PM

Dear Wah-I make very short videos for my own amusement and broadcast (usually on Youtube and Public Access TV). I have just finished making one called "What is a Stone Pilgrim?"( on youtube.com) and used your performance of Govind Jaya Jaya as the background. Could you view it and let me know if I have permission to use the song? Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Patti Sunday, December 17, 2006 3:48 PM

patti- nice work. I like the music and visuals together. who thought that stone and angelic music would mix? you can link back to wahmusic.com. love and light, keep on sister, wah Monday, December 18, 2006 12:24 PM

Hi Wah – I received my book recently. Thanks. I turned it over to my wife to wrap and put under the Christmas tree. (Did the same with my YJ calendar.)... Countless little things over countless lives bring us to the very moment, but we imagine that our lives turn around single events. And so we fail to notice the myriad of everyday blessings. Among the many things in my life that that are nudging me through the door is your music. Thank you. David Thu 12/7/2006 7:19 AM

Hello Wah! I have such a sweet story to share with you.... My mother picked up my 16 year old niece, Kayla, from work the other day. It had been a few weeks since we last saw her. My mother was waiting in the car listening to your CD's on shuffle (as always). When Kayla climbed into the car and fell into the seat, she said, "I miss this music!" I have actually promised to try to take Kayla to your next concert at Kripalu in May 2007. I know she would love it! I was so hoping to see you on the fall-winter schedule at Kripalu and was disappointed to see you will not be here until next year. It will be difficult waiting so long to see you in kirtan again, but we all know it will be well worth the wait! Wah!, may you have a wondefrful and abundant year and may you always be surrounded with love and light! love to you always, Amy and Lynn Martin Tuesday, November 07, 2006 10:51 AM

Hi Wah! My name is Liat, and i am teaching Ashtanga vinyasa yoga in Israel. Indeed my reaction after doing savasana listening to your first savasana CD was "wow!". I just wanted to say that your music is something else, unlike anything else I heard before - divine and healing. wishing you more and more inspiration, and hope to see you perform in Israel in the near future. yours with love, Liat Fri 10/13/2006 10:51 AM

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Wah, I can not begin to say how much your music has affected my life as of late. A friend of mine who is a yoga teacher gave me your CD, I didn't listen to it for a while as sometimes I procrastinate at trying new things, well then I did and it has opened me in such a new way. I am now doing yoga almost every day in my living room and chanting to your CD and I feel so much more balanced and aligned. I think your music is even making my Beta fish Maxi happy and we are in harmony together! My favorite is the song Jai Ma, #2 on the pink album-I forgot the name of this album (Hidden in the Name ed.), but it's the song that you wrote for your friend to help her through her passing. I was wondering about your chanting nights, I would love to attend if I could. I sometimes do Kirtan with Govindas of Brian Kest Power Yoga, this is where I practice yoga-and now! In my living room! You are so talented and your music inspires me to want to serve and flow with nature and give of myself to the universe. Namaste!!!!! Danielle Thu 9/7/2006 8:52 AM

Wah, my now four year old son has been listening to you for years now. He calls your music God music. Enjoying your latest Savasana2 CD as well as the one for Amma. It is your voice first and music second that is captivating and at the same time 'punches' me out. its as best as I can put it. I give thanks for you and your intentions and your vibrations. ankh-em-ma'at (in living truth). Jonah Fri 8/18/2006 12:37 AM

Hi Wah! I Was at East West Books In NYC last eve and they had a copy of embrace which I snapped up! Went home and listened to it and of course this morning had to hear it again before work. I almost got here late because of that! So I've got Save Me repeating itself in my head. Water is such a beautiful song as is Tapasya. You sound superb. Another facet to the jewel is revealed.

Wah, Your performance at Kripalu on July 12 was simply amazing. I think we all felt the beautiful love you were radiating out to all. We were smiling, dancing, clapping, hugging, crying.... and most of us strangers, but in that moment, as one. Thank you so much. I have been trying to find that song on your CDs, could you tell me the name of the CD it might be on and the song name. I want to try to recapture some of that Wed. night peace Marlene Monday, July 31, 2006 4:29 PM

hi marlene, I would love to tell you which CD to buy, can you describe the song a little bit? English? Sanskrit? upbeat/ danceable? the last song of the evening? thanks, and blessings wah

It was the last song you preformed, in sanskrit, I think you even lost your voice for a bit, it was very powerful. I couldn't imagine a better way to end the Music Festival. You are truly gifted. namaste Marlene Tuesday, August 08, 2006 5:21 AM

I think it was Lokaha Samastaha Sukhino Bhavantu (I think) listen? let me know? wah

That's it! thank you for taking the time to answer. a very grateful follower Marlene Tue 8/8/2006 12:29 PM

Dear Wah, I have been listening the samples of your soundclips in a voice which is difficult to describe in words how beautiful it is and given equally beautiful lyrics to it ,the end product can safely be placed in a higher strata of joyous feelings. To me these are the virtues of sacred songs sung in crafted voice. God has blessed you with a beautiful voice and you have returned in gratitude by singing in His praise - very uplifting indeed. Would it be too much to ask you to select one of your best selling cds of your sacred songs? This would be a starter to savour and will lead me to select your other cds in time even though it will help me if you wouldn't mind listing all of your cds in line of your preference. Forgive me if it appears to be a tall order but I will be ever so greatful. I am in the process of acquiring cds of sacred and devotional songs and would like to add yours from now on. Even though I am no stranger to song offerings to God and am steeply enamored in spiritual life in the realm of Hinduism, I am equally ovewhelmed at the explosion of human gifts of awakening to deep emotions emanating from the spiritual people I have come across many of such people in the web who are also helping me in self realisation. Reading your web pages of your concert tour in many parts of the world, would it ever happen for you to be in England I would love to be present in such a live concert. Yours in prayers, Ashoke Thursday, August 03, 2006 3:46 PM

Ashoke, Thank you so much for your kind words and beautiful energy, which I received from this email. I would recommend Savasana. it is deeply steeped in devotion and meditative energy. I am definitely trying to get to England, London specifically. Paul is there now doing some studio work and we would have come together but I had previous engagements here in LA. We'll be there sometime soon! Oh, and if after listening to the music samples of Savasana, you want something different (call-and-response, English lyrics, longer songs, etc), let me know and I will recommend something else. with love and blessings, wah Monday, August 7, 2006 6:02 PM

I listened to a great song on sky.fm ‘' Jai Ma '' – what album is it on and how can I buy it? Jeff from California Saturday, July 29, 2006 10:31 AM

Hi Wah! I've been enjoying your music very much for several years, and I have several of your CD's. I also make my living as a professional musician (vocals, electric bass, guitar, and percussion) here in New York (my web site is www.musicthatheals.org) and I also teach (part- time) Spirituality and Religions of the World at St. John's University in Jamaica, New York, where I often use your music in my classes. I was just wondering if there is any possibility that you might do a long version of the "Om Namah Shivaya" chant that you have on the "Hidden in the Name" CD. It's truly beautiful and I find it absolutely transporting. Would you consider an idea like this? I really like what you did with the "Lokah" and "Gayatri" chants, and I would really love to see a similar thing done with the "Om Namah Shivaya" mantra; an even longer (up to an hour) version if possible. Also, are you planning any chanting events in the New York area this year? Thanks so much, and many blessings to you. Your music is a beautiful gift of positive and uplifting energy to this world, which desperately needs it. - Susan Tuesday, July 25, 2006 3:27 PM

hi susan, we'll be in NYC first weekend in november. I appreciate the suggestion for om namah shivaya chant. we are currently working on remixes and interesting versions of existing chants. maybe we can do this one, cause it is so overwhelmingly popular. people love to sing it at the end of the concerts. thanks for writing, great to meet you. keep doing your work, it looks great. wah Saturday, July 28, 2006 2:15 PM

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Hi Wah!, Just found Maha Deva on your myspace page. Is this on a new CD about to be released? If yes, I hope to pick one up when I see you at the NYC or Philly gathering in November. I'm really enjoying Savasana*2. I fall asleep to it every night and wake up to it every morning in blissed out peace. I can't really express in words what your songs mean to me - but I get closer to *that* place. Om shanti, Ron Thu 7/20/2006 6:04 PM

Hi Ron, the Maha Deva track is from a clubby remix CD I am working on with Paul Hollman. We perform it in the live shows and it totally rocks. Might be a year before it's released. Thanks for your kind words. wah 7/26/2006 9:38 AM

Dear Wah!, This past weekend, I purchased EMBRACE at Ammachi's program in NYC. Your music has been an integral part of my yoga practice for several years now, and discovering this collection of songs for Amma feels like such a wonderful gift! Thank you for putting this collection together. And thank you for your beautiful description of Track 10; I burst into tears as I read it. Mother is with me every time I listen to Embrace, as I know She was with you while you wrote the songs. Thank you for sharing the Love...Om Amriteshwaryai Namah,Vidya Thursday, July 20, 2006 5:42 PM

Wah, I was in Tower Records and could not find your CD's. Where can I purchase them in Manhattan? My yoga instructor had one of your pieces on and I FELL IN LOVE! Pamela Sat 6/17/2006 2:41 PM

pamela are you downtown or uptown? jivamukti on 404 Lafayette has them, actually most yoga boutiques have them. and the online thing is always available - cdbaby.com (go to

I am near The Open Center.....My step dad is Indian and I wanted to get him one of your CD's for Father's Day. The one I heard was a repetitive chant in Sanskrit that we say either at the beginning or end of class. It was beautiful.....Thanks for getting back to me! Pamela Saturday, June 17, 2006 7:29 PM

pamela, I think that chant is Lokaha (lokaha samastaha sukhino bhavantu) which you can listen to on the website and see if it's the one you were thinking of : www.wahmusic.com/music_lokaha.html best, wah Friday, June 30, 2006 7:29 PM

Hi Wah! Reading about you and listening to your music clips has made me go berserk. You have a devine voice. I have been looking for your CDS in Delhi (India) but have failed to find a music shop that sells your CDs, please please let me know of any stores in India where i can find your music. I have gone insane please tell me soon so i can find some peace. Yours in the love of Krishna Jyoti Mon 6/26/2006 3:16 AM

wah! - Your cd Jai Jai Jai is my favorite even though when you were here in Tucson I said it was the Krishna cd. The track "What SHE Has To Give" is the track that moves my soul. In this song you express with your words & soul the experience many of us have had with Amma but could never express. It makes me think - no it makes me feel Amma - Her smile - Her hug - Her presence - it gives me goose bumps! No kidding!!! I would like it to go on and on - how about the next paragraph to this song! Looking forward to being with our "Divine Mother" in LA and seeing you and Paul. In Amma's Service, Jill Weiss Sat 6/3/2006 3:44 PM

dear wah! what wonderful music i have discovered.... i was browsing through myspace.com , and i found krishna das profile (apparantly its not an official one but one done by a fan) -- nevertheless many of his fans are on there also... anyhow through those links of fans... i find this profile :http://profile.myspace.com/dashama and she was playing your song.... and from there i got onto your website.... can you tell me where i can find that song? i think its called "maha deva". i could not find it listed on any of your cds on your website... best wishes for your inspirational work.. many thanks, suresh Sunday, June 04, 2006 6:07 AM

suresh, thank you for your kind email. 'maha deva' is definitely one of my favorite tracks right now too! it is a collaboration between me and a wonderful producer named paul hollman, we are doing a full album together for Intentcity. http://www.intentcity.com/ For now, the maha deva track is on a compilation (Buddha Cafe II) soon to be released by Intentcity. we wanted to share the track on myspace because we're so excited about this new sound. I can send you an e when the album is released if you want. best, wah Sunday, June 04, 2006 10:11 AM

Dear Her Wahness (cool name!), yes .... i think its an excellent way to re-introduce the mantra/chanta/bhajans using that sound style... i think it will be very popular... yes please, let me know when the album is released! thanks, Suresh Sun 6/4/2006 2:38 PM

Namaste'. I love Wah and am trying to find a particular song that she does. I have it on a meditation cd "SHANTI SHANTI" by Jesse Gianniji Lombardi. The song I am referring is to a "HAR" chant repeated over and over and towards the end she begins singing, on top of the HAR chanting, "I am beautiful I am ... (something)" I love this one so much and find much peace and power to it and would love to findout which album it is on. Thank you! Sanieh "Truth is one, paths are many" -Swami Satchidananda Friday, May 05, 2006 3:52 PM

Sanieh, wow, that is a long time ago! The CD name is Transformation and you might find it at www.spiritvoyage.com . Otherwise, send me your mailing address and I will mail it to you. Lyrics are: Har.... Om Namah shivaya... I am beautiful, I am light. love wah Saturday, May 6, 2006 12:05 PM

wah, they say that my time is short (they've said that before too & I'm still here so what do they know anyway) so I'm being very mindful to exist in the Golden Present and do all I can, while I can. thanks for sharing the rhythm of your soul thru your most AMAZING music.

Hello Wah, I heard a most captivating chant two years ago. The DJ only announced that he was putting it back into the archive and would never be heard again. It was played again this evening. This time I wrote down the station, WPKN, Bridgeport CT. The DJ announced that the title was Govinda Makinda, by Wah. I just browsed Wah's website. No Govinda Makinda. Can you help me locate this wonderfully perfect music? Namaste, Noel Wednesday, April 05, 2006 5:42 PM

hello noel,and thank you for your e. I think the song you are referring to is "Healing of the Heart" from the CD Transformation try this link and see if it is the song you heard on the radio http://www.spiritvoyage.com/shopping/detail_clips.cfm?PC=1187 if so, you can buy it from spirit voyage music (I think) if you have a problem, let me know wah Wednesday, April 05, 2006 9:18 PM

Wah, Where I can I find lyrics to follow the music, especially lyrics of Come to Me. Thank you. Sincerely, Veenu Thursday, March 16, 2006 7:26 AM

veenu, lyrics are at: www.wahmusic.com/music_hidden.html Click (lyrics) next to the song. let me know if you don't see the pink and red boxes (sometimes mac users don't see the link). peace, wah Mar 21, 2006, at 4:09 PM

Oh, Wonderful wonderful Wah! How I love your voice and your music. I found the lyrics, how did you know I was on a mac? I sit out on my porch, with my eyes closed and often the tears streaming down my face, shamelessly surrendering my 53 year year old tired and beaten spirit, to the peace of your music, which both energizes and soothes my soul. Ah, Bliss! Often I will dance and sway, especially to Radhe! I listen to your voice at least twice a day, and I am so looking forward to see you in concert sometime. May God Bless you. May God bless my beautiful Yoga teacher Annie who introduced us to your music and told us about your website. Keep spreading your light. Sincerely, Veenu Tue 3/21/2006 4:09 PM

Dear Wah, I wanted to share with you a slideshow my boyfriend put together for me last week after my beloved pet child Rani passed away. When I heard your song "Come to Me" I knew it was the right song for this. It's on the internet now and touching many people. Adam told me you wrote this song about your guru. I would have to say that Rani was my guru- he taught me about unconditional love and was by my side for many years when I was ill an bedridden. Thank you for your music. It has helped my heart to heal. Thu 3/16/2006 9:21 AM

hey, wah.... i just wanted to tell you that we appreciate you sharing your beauty, energy, and light with us all. our daughter tekla was born on august 9, 2005 (she loved being with us in oly at the wa. center the other night, she was the baby who fell asleep...) and we played the kirtan from "one life at a time" during my labor. at one point, i was in the birthing tub with brian and i realized that we were not the only ones chanting.... our 2 midwives and our doula were all united with us in the chant. we had an amazing and positive birth experience, it was more beautiful and profound than anything we ever endured together. tekla arrived riding the wave of the sacred om, uttered by grand master choa kok sui. tekla's first "concert", was a kirtan with kd in seattle when she was just 2 months old. it was wonderful to set in spirit together! when it was over i actually had him sign a diaper for tekla! i share this with you because we are honored that your presence was felt during the birth of our sweet child. i was delighted to hear that you have a cd for birthing... maybe next time, although one baby is all we need right now! may you feel the balance and beauty of this equinox time..... p Mon 3/20/2006 9:08 AM

Dear wah! I have been enjoying your music for only about a year and a half. I have had the good fortune to see you in LA, Encinitas twice and last September at Omega. I play your music at my Spa and you have been kind in responding to my emails. I want to share a story about how powerful you music has become for my family. This January my daughter and I made a trip to Oregon to visit my father. During our visit my father unexpectedly passed away. While he was still conscious, I felt I wanted to reach out to him with something that had a deeper meaning for me, so on that first day I played "Come to Me" for him and sang it to him at the same time. The next day I was again moved to play "Come to Me" again for him. I sang it with tears in my eyes and my heart full of love. He passed during that song. The entire room was touched by your music. I played it again for my sister-in-law. When we were making all of the plans for my Dad's funeral she suggested we play the song at his service. We spent the next few days going through over 4000 photos of my father's life. My brother and I created a slide show with about 90 of these pictures and hired a professional to put it to the music of "Come to Me." It is incredible. We didn't see it until the funeral service and it was moving: tears, laughter, joy! Thank you wah! Craig Wed 3/1/2006 11:30 PM

Dear Wah, I got Jai Jai Jai, a bit late, I guess, but haven't taken it out of the CD player since getting it. I love it. Especially the english song, What She Has To Give. It helped me come to a better understanding of the whole spiritual path and open up to the challenges. Love and light, Sri LalitambikaWed 3/1/2006 2:13 PM

Hi, Greetings from Florida. I found a CD that has these songs: 1. Walk Through That Door 2. Give Us Grace. These are two of my favorite songs of yours. They are very inspiring and touch my heart. My friends are also touched by these songs. I burned a copy for one friend and he would like to send a donation. Where does he send it to? Also, do you have a cd released with these tracks on it? Many blessings and thanks, Zeba

Zeba, very kind of you. one day we will make a full CD of affirmations, including these two that you love. wah Mon, March 13, 2006 5:38 PM

Wah- I'm really enjoying you and the musicians that you play with. I discovered your music at an intensive/conference given by Lawrence Lanoff in Sedona this Jan.....he was playing selections from "hidden in the name". I purchased it and "LOVED IT". I followed that up with an immediate purchase of "Jai". When I played the first song, Bolo Ram, it had the effect of an immediate,intense, emotional connection and release in me. I was so touched......the tears flowed.......The feeling of deep Gratitude was and still is happening for me..... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. The effects of your music has "stirred it up" for many here in Iowa, lately. Gordon Thu 2/9/2006 7:23 PM

Dear Wah, How are you, I wish well! I am fine and with your music even more : ) I am listening it so often and it is giving me so much joy and happiness. I was wandering if in your music performance you include also some Kiirtans. Do you have some your music CD about Kiirtan singing ? Should I send you some sample (.mp3) of what I mean? We use regularly to play & sing and dance these Kiirtans before meditation. Awaiting your most welcome reply soon, I send my best wishes from Italy. Jai Ma, shriidhara Friday, February 03, 2006 3:07 AM

shriidhara, kirtan can mean many things - from mantra chanting to bhajans and songs. we sing english songs in the middle of our concerts which I think of as bhajans in english. have you checked out music samples on my website? www.wahmusic.com/music.html each CD has music samples you can listen to, so you can tell me if I have recorded what you are looking for. if not, get me back in the studio so we can do it! peace, wah Tuesday, February 07, 2006 3:58 PM

Wah- I have been listening to Jai Jai Jai (thankyouthankyouthankyou) fairly regularly and absolutely LOVE it. At Xmas, I received Opium and have totally enjoyed getting to know a different side to your music - I love it so much that I've turned more than a few people onto it. I hope all is well - may you be safe, happy, healthy, and live with ease. Emily/Montreal Monday, January 23, 2006 3:01 PM

Dear Wah, I read a review of your work and have since listened to several chants, and plan to order some of your CDs -- you have an amazing voice. But I'm wondering whether you have recorded, or plan to record, my favorite chant. The words are: Govinda hare, Gopala hare Hay prabu deena diyalla hare. I'm not 100% sure of the spelling, but it's a beautiful chant. It's on Krishna Das's Pilgrim Heart CD and what I really would like to hear is your voice in this chant. I first heard it chanted by a woman live and it spoke to a longing and love inside me that was infinite. namaste, Elizabeth/BC, Canada Tuesday, January 24, 2006 10:27 PM

elizabeth thanks for writing, I am very familiar with the chant you love but indeed I have not recorded it that melody. brings me back to my days touring with krishna das, lovely stuff... if I or anyone other female singer records it, I'll be sure to drop you an e. in praise, wah Wed 1/25/2006 9:34 AM

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Wah- Just wanted to write and say- I have been practicing yoga for the past year, and have a range of amazing music. Yet of my entire collection, your beautiful Lokaha track is still my favourite. A perfect rhythm, beautiful vocals... can't wait to see you perform this live when I visit the US sometime! Blessings, Michael Tue 1/24/2006 8:20 AM

Namaste Wah! I have been meaning to let you know how much I love your CD Savasana 2. I have been starting every day (almost) with a meditation while listening to the first two tracks. It is just so transcendent. Also it transports me right back to Omega when you sang so beautifully with Baird in September. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Hope to see you in Cleveland sometime soon. Jan from Cleveland Saturday, January 14, 2006 6:54 AM

Hi jan, Thanks for writing, great to hear from you and know that you are meditating in the precious energy of peace. How wonderful that the CD can help you do that! I send my love and blessings to you in snowy cleveland. Love, wah Monday January 16, 2006 6:54 PM

Hey, awesome, so great to hear from you again! I sent your disc to a couple labels, but nothing ever came of it, and one of those labels went out of business (lucky you didn't sign with them!) hope the bliss is continuing through your music, yes I am sure it is.... Love, wah Friday, December 2, 2005 8:09 AM

dear wah, I have been meaning to let you know how wonderful your performance was last Saturday evening in Philadelphia at yoga on main. I am new to attending Kirtans and I felt as though I was floating for days and days after your performance. I can remember the first time I heard your music; I was at Kripalu for a workshop weekend and before I left I asked the girl in the gift shop if she could recommend any cd in the shop which she would recommend and she said your Jai Jai disc. I got into my car home for the long drive back to Philly--put the disc in and by the end of song 1 I realized their were tears running down my face. I couldn't believe how deeply your music affected me. Thank you for sharing your gift. best wishes, erica, philly fan Saturday, November 26, 2005 2:59 PM

wow erica I am so glad you opened like that, what a precious experience! it is these moments of expansion that I live for, and it has such meaning to share it with you and others through the music. I thank you for your email and hope we meet again soon. jai ma, wah Friday, December 2, 2005 8:09 AM

My partner and I (amatuer musicians) have been asked to perform "Come To Me" at the funeral of a close friend, who introduced us to your music (thank her and you). How do I get the lyrics? Thank you, and/or anyone you have working on email. Ken Sat 11/26/2005 8:22 PM

heh heh I just found all the lyrics to the album with "Come To Me" on your website - after giving up on finding them through Google. It seems you're just not quite popular enough yet. We'll see what we can contribute to remedying this. Thanks again, Ken Saturday, November 26, 2005 8:27 PM

thanks ken! I'll just let you carry on the whole conversation, you're good at it :-) wah Friday, December 2, 2005 8:00 AM

Dear Wah, I want you to know how you touched my heart. I am a Yoga teacher in New Paltz, NY. I attended your concert at Omega and was so impressed with your honesty and the innovation of your music. I feel that it was divine guidance that brought me to Omega and your music... Thank you so much....Love, and Peace Susan Friday, October 28, 2005 7:02 AM

Susan, I thank you for sharing your experience. you have gone forward bravely and with compassion. I think the changes are inevitable, we are all subject to the karmic wheel, but through the Name we are able to go through the changes with Grace, and with peace in our hearts. I am humbled that you kept my CDs with you. blessings, with love, wah Monday, Oct 31, 2005 4:32 PM

Hi there, Again wanted to compliment you on a great show at Omega. Really enjoyed your stuff and have since literally the first time I heard it. I spoke to you and your husband in the dining room the last day of Labor Day show. I asked about your last couple of songs. You mentioned they were done for Agape. Shall I contact them or you about getting more info? To quote you…or were they from songs, I am not sure… Is it Love… How far down the road am I…. I loved your honesty, great reminder that we all have trials. Thank you again. Your music is inspirational. Laurel Tuesday, October 25, 2005 5:45 AM

hi laurel, Is it love is from the CD called Unplugged http://www.wahmusic.com/music_unplugged.html The songs composed for Agape were affirmations - Walk through that Door, and Give Us Grace were recorded on a 2-song CD. http://www.wahmusic.com/music_walk.html Thanks for writing, it's great to feel that inspiration reflected back to me via your email. love, wah Tues October 25, 2005 8:07 AM

Wah, HEARD A CD OF YOURS FROM 2000, LOVED IT AND THOUGHT THE NAME WAS CHATARONGA, NOT SURE THE SPELLING IS CORRECT BUT LOVED IT AND WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE A COPY. THANKS SO MUCH, HAVE SEVERAL OF YOUR CD AND YOUR VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL. Tue 10/11/2005 2:51 PM

brenda why don't you go on the website and check out savasana or chanting and let me know if that is the one you want. you can buy online at cdbaby.com. love, wah Wed, Oct 12, 2005 5:29 PM

Namaste, Wah! I met you when you performed in West Chester, PA. a few years ago. I love your Savasana CD and am anxious to get the second. I use it sometimes when I teach yoga classes. I think about you often and the stories you told about your path of spiritual growth. You were influential to others, as well. Two friends who were there at your performance are now performing kirtan music locally. I enjoyed reading about how this second cd evolved. I hope to see you when you are in Pennsylvania next month. Jai Guru Devi Bonnie Tuesday, October 04, 2005 5:35 PM

Wah, People all the time come up to me and ask what cd's I recommend and always Jai Jai Jai is top on my list and they always come back with great appreciation and enthusiasm after purchasing it. I must have lent out my copy a dozen or so times and have had to purchase a new one cause they like it so much that i don't have the heart to ask for it back and wind up just telling them to keep it. It's really terrific to see the joy that you bring to so many through your music. Much Love and Many Blessings, Robert 10/04/2005 10:04 AM

Wah! My girlfriend is pregnant and we want to chant together everyday to the baby. My girlfriend feels really connected to the Durga chant: "Durge, durge, durge jai jai ma...." What does this chant mean? Craig Thu 9/15/2005 1:13 PM

Craig, Durga is the Mother of all Goddesses. Jai means 'praise' and 'Ma' means 'Mother.' The mantra is in praise of the Divine Mother. Why am I not surprised? She wants access to the Motherload. wah 09/15/2005 4:28 PM

Namaste Wah: I first learned of Kirtan from a friend who asked me to join her at a small yoga studio in upstate New York. Krishna Das lead the Kirtan, and two hours seems to pass in 2 minutes. I was ecstatic! Then during yoga class my teacher played a few of your CDs. I was lifted up and away by the wonderful energy you give through your voice, and I now listen and accompany you at home, in the car, and at work. Ram, Ram, Ram Catherine Wed 8/31/2005 11:25 AM

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Dear Wah,We met after Kirtan at Yoga Samadhi in Greenwich CT a year ago. I am a yoga teacher and I play your cds during my classes. Chanting with you had lasting profound effects on me, including summoning the bravery to make the video and move to Australia as well as a greater ease of heart that has enriched my relationships. I know it deepens the yoga experience for my students as well. Tamara Sun 8/21/2005 11:41 PM

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Wonderful Wah! I have 4 muses and now there is you since my neice sent me Savasana. Relaxation it offers is unmatched in any of my running visualization techniques I still use in life and death. Also, CD Krishna I listen to a lot. So, as much as I am devoted to the Gregorian chanting whisking me off, you have taken me to a new level of peace, acceptance, and relaxation. Thank you Wah! Cheers, Kim Sat 7/30/2005 3:31 PM

Namaste Wah! For years I've been attempting to find a crossroads between holistic and musical communities. My work is in extending the rock & pop song traditions to where optimism is revived and new takes on old romantic verities are substantiated. There is so much I'd like to tell you, as we are indeed kindred spirits. My path into Taoist cultivation, yoga, and related practices came later than you in your beginnings – my roots are in angst, but still I started dealing with it philosophically and physically by the time I graduated from Bennington College . Years later, the healing work just gets deeper and deeper – life is basically a continual stream of inner spiraling smiles at this point. I've been a fan of yours for about three years now: Heard you during a craniosacral session and immediately asked who it was and set about ordering a couple of CDs. In peace and light- John Wed 7/13/2005 12:37 PM

I want to comment on each song in Opium- from the perfect invocation: "Open your heart" through every sentiment you articulate so wonderfully perfect... What I think it is about it/you is that I have total conviction that everything you utter is TRUTH.. I guess what I am saying is that somehow there is this total faith I have in you- as a spiritual/divine human being, and your gift, your you-ness, that comes through that voice is completely transformative in its power, beauty, and haunting passionate drenched reality....I think your line "When I wake up I will try and remember the dream" is mantric, a perfect mantra- And I LOVE your line about " It is the feeling beneath that I seek" and they way you slip in that "there goes another half a century" Wow! And Leap of Faith- a perfect challenge and a reminder.... I send you my deepest love and hopes for your utter complete fulfillment of all your dreams.. Love and Blessings, Doug Fri 7/15/2005 11:08 AM

Wah, Last year I came into Nainital, India and the lady I was travelling with was deathly ill. She recovered eventually, but at the time I was tired and I must have really needed some reminder of home because from the chai shop across the street came the sound of your voice - Ram Bolo Ram Bolo Ram Bolo Ram. I went right over there and hung out for awhile. The chai shop owner said, "You KNOW this singer?" We talked for awhile and it lifted my spirits. Your music brought a precious and comforting moment in my India travels. Jayananda 07/23/2005

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Wah - Every time I listen to your CDs when I am walking around the streets of New York, I ALWAYS get cruised bigtime. You should put that on your website. Listen to Wah, and meet the man of your dreams. :))) Aaron Fri 7/15/2005 1:46 PM

Aaron, you are so sexy! I LOVE IT wah Fri 7/15/2005 1:57 PM

Wah, you played a CD during yoga class that was a collection of songs in English for Ammachi. Where can I get that? It was lovely. Sue 4/16/2005 5:59 PM

Here's the link Sue - it's on Ammachi's internet bookstore - www.mothersbooks.org - click on the MUSIC page or search for ENGLISH BHAJANS on the site. Wings of Peace and This World are the two CDs which include songs from me. I will release a whole album of songs to Ammachi in Fall 2005. I'll send out a mass email when we're ready to release it. love, wah 4/19/2005 9:17/PM

Wah! Your music makes a great difference in my life as a yoga teacher. It helps me, and I assume, my students, tune into the Divine upon hearing it. I was excited to see that you will be in Chicago next weekend and look forward to hearing you live. Jai Ma! Rachel Friday, April 15, 2005 8:40 PM

great! thanks rachel, come up after the chanting and say hi... love, wah Mon 4/18/2005 7:42 PM

Jai Wah, This week I bought JAI JAI JAI when I was at a meditation-week in Wales at the Life Foundation (Mansukh Patel). Now at home I'm very touched by your sound/music. Thank you for giving this to so many ....... My question is are you planning to go on tour in Europe ? Warmest wishes with Love Light and Joy, Dorothy Sat 4/16/2005 5:40 AM

Wah, I am intoxicated with your Jai, Jai, Jai CD. I play it constantly. Thank you for making it. When I go to sleep at night I like to play Gayatri on repeat to permeate my subconscious while I sleep. Take care, Craig Saturday, February 26, 2005 9:41 AM

My friend recently introduced me to your Japji cd set you first did in the 70's. I have been listening to it most days since I received it. The first few listenings I enjoyed, but then it began to really hit me in my core at certain parts. I now believe that this work is a masterpiece. Because of its understanding of Japji and the experience it provides me every time I listen, I consider this album of equal value to my spiritual well being as John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" or T.S. Eliot's "The Four Quartets". My humblest thanks. This music is eternal. Every time I hear you sing "He alone, yes, He the One" the stress of running a business and being a father/husband melt away and I feel completely human again. In deepest love and appreciation, Dharam Singh Friday, January 07, 2005 12:38 PM

thank you dharam singh, the CDs were made at a time in my life when I was able to remove myself from worldly involvements and just rest in the Name of God. I think the energy captured from this time is pure, and you feel that when you listen to the CD. thank you for your kind words, all the best, wah January 10, 2005 11:37 AM

Dear One! Can you tell me, who in Switzerland sells your CDs? We had it awhile ago in the shop, and I can no longer get more orders. For your answer I thank you. With greetings of the heart, Ingrid Fri 11/26/2004 3:17 AM

Wah, Your music truly transcends me to a relaxing place I had not been to for a long time. I listen to Savasana at work to keep in a relaxed and happy mood. You've also inspired me to start Yoga. Your music has given a new meaning to relaxation. Marvelous! Thanks, Debra Wed 11/24/2004 11:34 AM

Hello wah! My new husband and I are throwing a wedding blessing celebration out here in Colorado (because we had our wedding in South Carolina in september) and I wanted to lead a chant; Lokaah Samastaah Sukhino Bhavantu. You sing three verses within the chant on the Savasana cd. I know the first verse: Asato Maa Sad Gamaya... But I'm not familiar with the other two. If you have time before Saturday (tomorrow), I'd so appreciate you sending the words my way. Many many thanks in advance for your energy and time. I'm sure you're quite busy. namaste, pixie Nov 19, 2004 4:55 PM

Hello Wah, Thank you for your information about buying your CDs so early! I now bought all your CDs at cdbaby website.(at midnight!) It is my pleasure to receive these CDs. As my life refines, I want to listen to this music. I am a woman in 30's who works very hard in the Center of Tokyo. Although we tire with much stress every day, I think that your music surely saves many Japanese women. Please continue making the good works by which the heart is relieved. (Now, It is autumn in Tokyo.) Sakae Wasa Thu 11/4/2004 9:05 AM

Wah! has become the music of choice for me and everyone I play her CDs for. Her style is soothing and calm, uplifting and transformational. It conveys joyousness and rapture. It is accessable and understandable
to us ordinary mortals, because it appeals to something universal inside of us. It is a musical journey, and I am excited that I have been able to participate in it. Wah has a gift of great value which she lovingly shares. Her music enhances anyone who listens. Victoria/Thousand Oaks, California Sat 10/30/2004 11:46 PM

I´ve been playing and singing many of Wah!´s songs at my Yoga studio in Rio de Janeiro and the feeling that we all have is pure bliss, it´s magic and we leave the classes feeling lighter, emotional and very happy. The hatha Yogis all ask me who is that singer and next year I hope we will meet her and practice a lot of chanting with WAH! Definitely the Universe spreads the positive vibrations across any borders. with love and Shanti! Paula Saboya from Rio de Janeiro

Wah, my name is michael, i am from australia. i recently heard your krishna chants cd and just wanted to say that it sent shivers up my spine, made me teary, happy and invogorated (something i havnt really felt through devotional music ). It also reinspired and reawakened in me a focus on my own spiritual practises which i have ignored for some time. you have a beautiful voice and have helped to put me back to where i want to be. namaste and many blessings, michael Fri 8/6/2004 1:53 AM

Dear Wah, I was able to get Lokaha from Anusara Yoga in TX and I love it. I cannot tell you how many times we have been stuck in traffic going places with my children and they comment afterwards that the way they made it through was thanks to your "yoga" music. I will bring Lokaha to my mom in Sweden who enjoys them just as much as I do. (I will also be able to see Krishna Das in Stockholm while we are there). Have a great summer, I'll see you at Omega.Annelie Tue 6/15/2004 12:10 PM

Dear Wah!, Aloha from Leucadia! My partner Doug and I are healers who have been using your album "Savasana" for quite some time now in our work.

I heard your music in the yoga studio where I practice. I would like to know where I can purchase it. Tracy Tuesday, June 08, 2004 12:02 PM

Wah! CDs are available online at www.anusara.com, go to the "Online Store", we're about halfway down the page. Local giftshops and yoga studios also sell them. You can write me and ask for your city. wah Wed June 09, 2004 2:10PM

Sai Ram! My friend Alex and I are sitting in my small apartment playing music. We've just taken a break and are admiring your Jai Jai Jai CD. It's a very beautiful piece of music as is all the music you've put out on your CD's. In Denver the Hare Krishna temple has a magnificent vegetarian restaurant named Govinda's. I turned some of my friends at Govinda's on to your CD Krishna and it's been playing virtually non stop over there for the past month. We hope you can come to Boulder soon. Start the day with love, spend the day with love, fill the day with love, end the day with love. NAMASTE Tom Saturday, May 22, 2004 2:49 PM

Oh my goddess Wah, Thank you so much for Lokaha. The luscious*chill*mix is absolutely divine and listeners love it. You are, in my humble opinion, taking your music ever higher, ever deeper. It seems like you are having a lot of fun mixing down these prayers of music, and it comes across. There are many listeners around the world who request your music on Mystic Radio. (www.mysticradio.com) I will continue to feature your works forevermore, as it always seems to uplift the vibration of the airwaves!!! I trust you and yours are well and that you feel the love from our hearts to yours. All Blessings and Gratitude . . . Padma Wednesday, May 12, 2004 1:56 PM

Dear Wah: I introduced Jai Jai Jai to my husband and now he's hooked. He listens to this entire cd almost every night in bed in supta baddha konasana. He said this relaxes him and put him into deep state of sleep. Om Namah Shivaya. Duyen Tuesday, May 18, 2004 8:07 PM P.S. We spell your name as "Hoa" in Vietnamese.

Hi Wah! I just wanted to let you know how much I've been enjoying Lokaha. I love it! I'm going to ask them to use it as part of the music in my yoga class. Gena 5/13/04

Wah! ~~ I want to thank you for the copy of the CD that some of us sang on a few months back (Lokaha, samastaha, sukhino, bhavantu). It sounds awesome! I play it at the end of my yoga classes I teach. Please, tell me again what this means, Namaste' Harriett Mon 5/10/2004 10:18 PM

Thank you for your beautiful music. When I chant, it is your CD's I pull out more than any other. I am soooo glad you did a longer version of the Gayatri Mantra on your new CD.... Judith Sunday, 05/09/04 7:39 AM

Greetings Wah!, well, you have done it again!. I have been sitting and listening/chanting to your new Jai Jai Jai, and then I have to listen to Savasana and Hidden in the Name and off I go again, trying to scheme new ways to bring you to Denver. Tom 05/08/04 9:59 AM

For some months now, I have been meaning to write and tell you how truly wonderful your latest CD, Jai Jai Jai, is. But words tend to fail me. Simply put: it is very special, wildly complex and more soothing than any other sounds I have access to. Richard 3/24/04

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Namaste Wah! My entire family loves your music. We listen to your Krishna songs before we go to bed, and we also wake up to your Govida Gopala chants. Infact my 2 year old daughter instantly calms with your music in the air as if she understands about 'bhakti'. We are priviledged by your sincereity to devotion and your noble endeavours to spread the message of divine love and serenity. I have one request. Can you make your music available for purchase at Apple's Itunes, or Napster or something like that? I think that would also help greatly to spread your devotional aroma more widely. Jay Shree KrishN, Hari Oum - Neeraj Wednesday, March 03, 2004 2:35 PM

thank you neeraj, other people have been asking us to be on Itunes as well. hopefully soon! wah Thu 3/4/2004 10:23 AM

Hi Wah, I've listened to your beautiful voice many times in my yoga classes in Philadelphia, but today I finally asked Amy who had this soothing and heavenly voice. I just ordered your CD "Savasana". Thanks again for the gift of your wonderful voice. Namaste, Rob Friday, January 09, 2004 3:28 PM

Thank you very much for your newest CD "jai, jai, jai". It is "your youngest music child". I enjoy it very much, particularly your soft intepretation of Gayatri Mantra. And the Durga chanting. JaiJaiJai Guru Dev, Terho Wednesday, December 24, 2003 6:38 PM

hi wah, i have been listening to jai jai jai....here are some unsolicited comments....the first track---ram bolo.... very inspiring...very smooth vocals. transitions from mantra to mantra were mostly seamless..
that's hard to do...really brought me to interior spaces. overall, listening made me jealous because you took the music out of my head and manifested something that i would have done.... same thing with the last track.... the gayatri was never better revealed! majestic, such a full symphonic opening giving way to a hip percussion groove....this one really made me mad.... such a masterpiece.... what would i change to make it a classic for all time? add a bridge...with peter gabriel overtones... blessings, anjaneya Thursday, December 04, 2003 11:09 AM

wah wow: You really did it this time lady. I thought KD had reached a new level with his latest CD, but your new one (Jai Jai Jai)- let's try for a definitive statement here - your new one seems to be your best in showing what unique angles Americans can bring to kirtan. Instead of throwing in more reggae beats, which I always like anyway, this is something slightly different. I love it. And your Gayatri Mantra.... The summer before last I was out kayaking, far enough away from anybody else on the water that I started singing Gayatri at the top of my lungs. Awesome experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you. frank Friday, December 05, 2003 7:59 AM

frank, being out on the water alone and able to sing the Gayatri mantra in your fullest voice...! that's the bomb. love, wah Fri 12/5/2003 10:10 AM

Om wah- I got the Jai Jai Jai CD that we did the group chanting for. Thanks. It reminds me of how powerful it was to chant in the studio for a full day. I was so high, it was challenging to drive and teach yoga afterward. My favorite song is the one about Ammachi and what she really wants to give me. This message runs deep through me. Love and Light-Patsy Wednesday, December 03, 2003 9:44 AM

so great to hear from you! glad you got the disc, thanks for your great singing and love. wah Wed 12/3/2003 11:10 AM

Greetings from London! I have played the Om Mani Padme Hum track during savasana in every class I have taught over the last few days and have sent every student away blissful! (And quite a few wanting to know where they could buy the CD....) Graham Monday, November 03, 2003 8:32 AM

Namaste Wah and full pranams to you. I love Jai Jai Jai! Durge, Shree Ram and Om Mane Padme Hum are my favorites. Thank you again for opening my heart to love. My job is very demanding and the chanting really helps. Love to Sweet Girl, Lalita Tues, 11/04/2003 7:39 AM

Thanks for the new album. Jai Jai Jai! Because the making of it encompassed two (or wait three!) of your trips to Tucson, it's especially sweet to finally have some of that new stuff on cd. Have you considered putting out a durge single, with a few distinct versions? I ask because of the huge difference between the way we chanted it in each of the last three concerts--each of which rocked the house and had everyone commenting on the cool groove for days. Could this be the financial future of your albums--releasing a cd of three sita rams, another cd of om namah shivayas, etc. Because I don't live around a kirtan posse I really like the idea cause it allows me to stay with the same energy, like you did in cd krishna. just a thought. love erik Friday, October 17, 2003 6:41 PM

erik, OK, first let me tell you my list... when more money comes in, first thing I'll get is a tour bus with a driver, then I'll get some backup singers, some roadies, and THEN we'll record something live. all love, wah 10/23/2003 11:13 AM

Jai Jai Jai ... your new CD is Ahmazing! Every track speaks to me. There is a fine line between going commercial and being true to yourself. Here, as is true with all your work, the spirit is talking loud and clear to all of us. There is more youthfulness and even more sincerity shining through here, than on most anything I have heard. There is much purity and innocence in a true seekers life, and rarely do we all get to share and receive it. Thanks so much for what you have 'created' here. It is a channeled work, on all levels, and a long play as well! I love the track 'what she has to give' too. I can do a full review, but I will spare you. Suffice it to say, it's a true work of love with great accompaniement and spirit beaming through every track. I will lead with Gayatri almost every night, as my spiritual program starts around 8 or 9pm pst most every night.Be well and know we are with you . . . Padma 10/22/2003 8:24 PM

Just recently I've discovered your wonderful music (Jai Ma, which I love), so I ordered all of your CD's and I'm afraid that I can not describe my feelings. Thank You very much. And now another CD? my soul is going to fly high. Namaste. Wanda Thu 10/2/2003 8:34 AM

just got Jai Jai Jai. I'm so happy for you to have pulled this all together. Your spirit just shines through. I can't say enough about this CD. The more i listen, the more I want to. It's magical...! love, joan Thu 10/02/2003 7:19 PM

deep and heartfelt thanks. i just had a powerful cry and heart opening while listening to 'come to me' from 'hidden in the name,' which you not only signed, but turned into beautiful prayer wheels for me last sunday at healing earth in chicago. it was surprising, perfect -- having started the cd on that track by 'accident" intending to start with the lovely 'om namah shivaya' we closed with the other nite -- and apparently much needed. so thank you, thank you, thank you. now starting over from the beginning of the the cds... many shantis, blesssings to you, ammachi and the lineage, in service if i can be, and always love, mark Saturday, August 09, 2003 9:45 AM

mark, thanks for writing and sharing and allowing the opening to be there. we have all gone through it, they are tears of joy we all know with love and blessings, wah Thu 8/14/2003 9:34 AM

Wah! mostly i want to say thank you for your music and making it accessible on line. i love the krishna chant song. reading about your path helps me to be more patient with the process. my dream is to start a band, perform, and record but i haven't been letting myself do it. do you have any advice? do you think i should just suck it up and get to work or what? thank you for listening....i feel like you're a mentor without ever meeting you or knowing much about you.... also, what does wah mean? margot malia Friday, July 19, 2002 9:51 PM

hi margot, you have to navigate with your heart. don't force the music and recording stuff, it is a business world which requires a different approach. wah means bliss, you can read about it at www.wahmusic.com/chant_pages/whatswah.html much love, wah Mon 7/28/2003 10:49 AM

So, I'm driving in my car and I put your rough mix of JAI JAI JAI in, and 60 seconds later I'm crying, my skin is all prickly and my heart is about to break through my chest. I don't really have words for how I feel when I listen to your music, except a profound yearning, joy and utter peace in the deepest part of me. If I ruled the world, everyone would listen to your music until they actually heard it, and it lit a fire in their soul that they couldn't put out. Thank God for you and your gift Wah. Love and hugs, Susan Tuesday, July 08, 2003 12:02 PM

My yoga teacher played your Savasana CD last Sat. at my class. I loved it so much. I asked the name of the CD after class and am planning to purchase it at the next class. I've never inquired about any of the CDs that are played during our practice until this one. It was so wonderful!!! I can't wait to get it home and listen to it whenever I want. I don't think I'll play it during my commute to work in the morning, though. It may be just a little too relaxing for that! Thank you for the wonderful sound and feelings that I experienced!!!

Pranam Dear Wah, Thank you so much for your work. I purchased your "Child's Play CD & book" as I work with children of special needs teaching yoga & massage. I felt you should know what an impact your CD has made especially for one of my students. She is blind 25 year old with autism and osteoporosis of developmental age of four. She has had a strong tendency towards the negative in so many ways. We practice with your CD playing. It has given her something very positive to perseverate on. It has been such a gift for her. She looks forward to our time of breathing, stretching, and relaxation & massage. Your work has been a huge piece of the picture. You have touched her life so very deeply.

Are you aware of other CDs of similar nature for children? Also, I am currently working on a thesis on children with asthma as a portion of my exam work with Sonia Sumar, and wonder if you have music or guidance suggestions from your work in children's camps regarding asthma that I may include in compiling my information. The thesis is a personal work as well as I have a history of asthma and my son's life is highly effected by asthma. I would appreciate any input that you have to offer. I feel very blessed to be able to do this work and wish to do the best for the lives I am privileged to be a part of. Thank you again for your work and willingness to follow it. In Peace, Joy, Love, and Light, Laurie Monday, June 02, 2003 4:10 PM

Laurie, Part of the reason I made the Child's Play CD is because there wasn't anything like it on the market. Most children's music products are Raffi-style, and most yoga products are hatha posture oriented (not much on breathing or focusing the mind). I wish I could be more helpful in directing you to other books and products. I think the best avenue for you is to approach the children's yoga book authors and ask them what contacts they have for special needs. Many of these books are special, and are written by caring yogis. thank you for your beautiful work, and your kind email. jai! wah Wed 6/4/2003 7:35 PM

Hi Wah, It's so nice to here your name being mentioned and music played on WMNF in Tampa, FL this morning. Cameron Dilley has been giving you some wonderful plugs and hope you've been listening in. The interview was great. You did a great job and I hope it made an impact for you in our community. I really enjoyed hearing your understanding about the creative power of the arts which is something I'm quite passionate about. Bob Gallo Friday, March 07, 2003 4:17 AM

Bob, yeah and thank YOU for suggesting we get an interview on WMNF. Cameron was great, and I really appreciate your helping us out with the introduction. wah Sunday, March 09, 2003 1:30 AM

dear wah!, i really love the song "jai ma" on the planet yoga album....i was wondering want the words are translated to mean in english...i know it is a song in praise of the divine mother (as it says)....but beyond that....i would be so grateful to learn...thank you. laurie Sunday, January 19, 2003 3:55 AM

hi laurie, yes, a translation word for word is... jai (literally translated as 'hail' or 'victory' or 'praise'). I talk a lot about this word in my concerts. It is a word you exclaim when you cannot say anything else. when you see a beautiful sunset, when a child is born, when the world trade towers fall... it is an expression of 'beyond'. like saying, 'wow!' and being speechless afterwards. ma... is the divine mother, worshipped in every tradition. many saints meditate and pray for a vision ofthe divine mother. the cosmos, if you will, all wrapped up in a female form. wah Sunday, January 19, 8:17 PM

dear wah, thank you for responding....if at all possible i want to learn the rest of the words to the song, written out in original form and translation.....it has deep meaning for me....and is a song i will be listening to daily....most grateful, laurie Sunday, January 19, 2003 7:52 PM

whoops laurie, forgot the rest (think it is on the website also, if you click on the lyrics links on the Hidden in the Name music page) Amritamayi Anandamayi Amritanandamayi Ma, Jai Ma
Amrit means nectar, Mayi means mother, Anand means bliss, Mayi means mother... So.... The Divine Mother who brings bliss. It is also the name of a living saint. If you are feeling this strongly, you definitely should check Her out. She is amazing, truly amazing. www.ammachi.org wah January 20, 2003 1:54 PM

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Dear Wah! I saw you this last tour in Portland, OR. I sat in the front row on the floor, heart melting with the familiar mantras, the rich harmonies. You gave me a hug after the show, your realness was touching. Right after the show I got Hidden in the Name, which I listen to religiously, literally. I clean once in a while at my yoga studio, with my choice of music to play. Savasana is one of my favorites. I finally borrowed it from the studio and brought it home last night. I sat down in front of the altar closed my eyes and not soon after the opening began to play, I began to cry, tears strolling down my cheeks for seemingly no reason. The words, both sanskrit and english are more beautiful than anything I have ever heard. That song, actually all the songs but especially Govind Jaya Jaya and Radhe, touch me in a place inside that is so deep and so full it is positively overwhelming. And then I read the caption for Radha Ramana Hari and the words were exactly what I was feeling. I was utterly amazed and quite thankful for the synchronicity. I have always been intrigued that you are a devotee of Ammachi. I absolutely love Jai Ma and your other chants inspired by Her. I just wanted to relay these events to you... I recently went to a satsang at a good friend of mine's house in honor of Amma. This morning I was again listening to Savasana in my car. When I checked my mail folder at school, there was a note form my friend who held the satsang asking me if I wanted to go to the upcoming retreat in Seattle. She enclosed a flyer with a beautiful picture of the Divine Mother. As I was walking away another friend of ours called my name and excitedly said to me, come with us to seattle. I hadn't planned on going, that weekend was very busy for me and I had seen Amma last year. The retreat was actually kind of a strange experience for me, nothing too profound. However, these recent events have kept me pondering especially with my connection to your music and your connection and inspiration from Amma. I guess that is why I was compelled to write all this to you. I would love to hear if you have any response. In sincere love and gratitiude, Dara Wednesday, May 22, 2002 3:39 PM

Dara, these are the stories that describe spiritual opening. aren't we all wandering around, hoping our hearts will be strong enough to lead the way? How else could things be arranged the way they are? I certainly can't figure it out. It would be impossible to figure out the details of everyone's lives and hook them all together. All I know is that when I stay tuned in, everything around me is synchronistically beautiful... What Amma did for me, is she arranged for me to work on myself. I had a lot of sadness surrounding spirituality and just in general inside my heart. And after being with Her and continuing meditations and satsangs, I found a deep connection with Her, AND a very specific path to work on myself. The situations I was led into, were not easy by any means. I threatened to quit, throw in the towel, give up... so many times! Yet there She was, She showed up, or someone called, or I got slammed with a message from Her in meditation... She has always indicated to me that She is not far away, always watching over me. I don't know how She does it. I don't know how it works. It seems like all the saints and higher Beings work this way. How can they be so everpresent? All I know is how it works for me, which is why I share my stories so much. And indeed, other people confirm similar stories with their Gurus. And books tell stories which confirm my experience.
It is not whether you are experiencing a profound connection at the Amma retreat. The retreat and the phone calls are reminders that a connection is possible. How you make the connection is up to you. You can meditate, you can sing songs, it really doesn't matter. Focus in on the times when you feel connected (like you describe in your email), try and memorize how you feel. Understand what it feels like to be open, to be receiving this beautiful energy. Using that as an anchor, you can allow your heart to guide you to the next experiences. I wrote a song for Opium (my latest CD), called 4 my eyes only. It describes how the drama in your life is like a movie for your eyes only. No one else sees what you do. It's only for your eyes, for your heart, for your understanding. Everyone else there is seeing a completely different movie (their own). When you are at retreats and satsangs and gatherings, at school, at work, with friends, with enemies, the only thing that matters is how you open up and become who you really are. Sharing the stories and chanting is a wonderful way to do that. I once sat in my car and chanted Dhyayamo (The Opening on Savasana) for 15 minutes... no tape, no CD, just me in a hot sunny car, sitting with my eyes closed, meditating. I needed some help... and I got it. shine on Dara! wah Sun 1/12/2003 9:07 AM

I have been practicing yoga for a year and a half now and as my friends say, "I'm living the Yogi life". Thank You for being such an inspiration to all of us. I am truly enjoying your Opium CD and so are a few of my friends. I was wondering if you would post the words to your songs on your website or send me a copy of them.

Hi Wah! Puppies now RUN to sit in front of the speakers when they hear your voice. Honestly, when you go to Jivamukti, ask Sharon (India's godmother) and David. They too have had the pleasure of puppies and kitty chanting kirtan. Honestly Wah, Ollie the collie will go on for 10 minutes not missing a woof w/call and response. It's amazing.

It was nice to meditate with you once again. I am glad you are happy serving your guru. My husband last fall brought me some Krsna Das tapes. I was thinking you would like this music and i was thinking of sending you a copy. I was listening to Breath of the Heart and I was unsure of the pronunciation of one of the words. As I was looking up the word i glanced at the credits and saw your name and then your picture. small world! love to all, Siridatar July 02, 2002 8:17 PM

Dear Wah,...I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your music. I am interested in buying one of your CD's but would like the one most similar to what you performed on Saturday night. Can you tell me what that might be? Thank you again for your music and contribution. Rhonda February 25, 2002 10:59 AM

Rhonda, Hidden in the Name is most like what we do at our live shows. We also sprinkle in songs in English (Walk thru that Door, Opium) and CD Krishna. glad you liked the concert! wah March 2, 2002 12:02 AM

good evening, i'm looking out the window at a magnificant montage of sky and sea...sunset over swami's..i remembered something that i wanted to express to you...sometimes life changes and you don't get to say what is important...so here it is...when i heard you chant last month, and from listening to your recorded cd's, i experienced that your song comes from a very sacred space, from a place of stillness... and you allow your voice to give form to the stillness that you touch...at times in my practice i touch a place....this is hard to write about, to give words to, and i don't want to sound 'new age', yet still i have my experience....sometimes it seems that i am simply resonanting with a chant that has always existed, that other beings are continuously chanting on some other loka....i have been chanting the om namah shivaya that i heard you do, and my experience is that this song is being sung by many beings even now.i just wanted to tell you that i feel that what you are doing is important, that your work expression is impacting other souls, that from hearing you i feel a deep connection and familiarity with the place from which your music springs....john d September 13, 2001 6:10 PM

Namaste, dear sister of the Soul, I have recently found your music and just had to write to tell you that I so enjoy your cds! And I'm devasted that I didn't know you were in Vancouver and on VTV until I just now visited your webpage. If you ever do a concert here please let do me know. Thank you especially for the chants to the Divine Mother that bring joy and tears all at the same time. Bhavani Devi August 12, 2001 6:59 AM

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Dear Wah, I have been chanting for over twenty five years (I have been a Kriyaban, Yogananda's, for about that long). I have collected cds and tapes fromjust about everyone: Uttal, KD, Hari Om Charam (India), Hare Krishnas, Felix Maria (German -- a devotee of Sai Baba), Nirvanananda, my good friend from Brazil Tomaz Lima, Bhagan Das and many more. We have our own kirtan band in Brazil, where I live now, named YogaBanda. All this to let you know you are way way better than all of them. Really. Trust your work which is truly amazing.You are on your way to be a star. And about time we get a yogi star, shining in this oh so material world. All the best, Claudio Edinger July 05, 2001 10:07 AM

Claudio, I laughed out loud when I read your message you are truly a delight Funny, I tried the pop career, all the while continuing my chanting and yoga as my own private practice. Then, I let the pop career go, and started opening my chanting practice to people, as a gathering. I have been onstage since I was a child, and many people have said I will be a "star" but I never thought I would get to be a yogi star... thank you for your sweet words <wah> July 9, 2001 3:44 PM

Now that I think of it (and after listening to your double CD for the entire two hours it took from our farm to the city here in Sao Paulo, Brazil) I decided you are not a star. You are the Moon -- as my Guru Yogananda says, the moon shines brighter than all the stars. Keep trusting your instincts and mixing world music with mantra, like you do. It works really well. In the Mother's love, Claudio July 10, 2001 11:35 AM

Ohhhh the day Wah came into my life...*LOLOL* I heard some of your chanting on CD at a yoga weekend in Quebec. I was captured by the chants...but couldn't bring them home. Someone said you were coming to Toronto...and well you know it was full. *LOLOL* I had no attachment to seeing you...and poof...next thing I know you are coming to my home town of Ottawa! I went to your website, and my computer chanted your tunes...and I fell in love... I then went to Kripalu for their 10th Yoga Teachers Confrence. I was on a mission, to buy Wah cds! There were so many teachers in the shop looking for material for their classes...I said the Krishna cd was a must...within 10 minutes all the cds in the shop were sold! I know of 6 people who bought them! All were listening to Wah on the cd players for trying out cds...*giggles* isn't life grand...I hadn't listened to tunes on the other cds, so with limited cash...(you know how rich yoga teachers are, and cdn cash no less) I chose the double cd. I made everyone in the van listen to it all the way back to Canada...for 7 hours...hahahah...I Wahed them! I was at Santosha on the 7th of July, with my children Jennie 13, and Katie 11, and my husband tooooo...I made them all come! I am such a...how do you say it...Bhakti Head... *LOLOL*....Jai Wah!!!
