"Sean's voice is a river of serenity." -- Jai Uttal, Grammy-nominated kirtan singer "Sean cracks your heart open into a million pieces." --Dana Flynn and Jasmine Tarkeshi, founders, Laughing Lotus Yoga "Sean brings home the devotion in his voice: this is bhakti in full measure. He is also living proof of the power of the hatha yogi who also understands the power of sound. This, I believe, is the future of yoga, especially in the West, where a unique yogic culture is being developed, authentic in its spirit and meaningful in the form of its expression." -- Russill Paul, chant recording artist and author of "The Yoga Of Sound" This CD is an invitation into the ecstatic experience that is kirtan. Sean Johnson's voice is the pure expression of Bhakti, which dissolves the Self in the Love of the Divine. WIth him are the mystical musicians that make up the Wild Lotus Band, who transform traditional eastern sounds into a musical experience that transcends all global boundaries. This kirtan was recorded at Laughing Lotus Yoga Center in New York City, shortly after hurricane Katrina sent waves of devastation across the Gulf Coast and grief across the hearts of the world. Sean and the band had just evacuated from their native New Orleans, raw from the experience of watching their beloved city battered. The Laughing Lotus Birthday celebration was transformed into a Benefit to help heal and uplift the lives of all that have been affected. In the same way, this Soulful music, will not only make you want to get up and sing and dance with wild abandon but will also help to soothe your troubled mind and rekindle your loving heart. This CD is as powerful as it is because of the overwhelming relief and joy for the safety of our beloved New Orleans family and a Celebration of N'Awlins Spirit which LIVES ON in the hearts of its people. Wild Lotus and Laughing Lotus come together like Shiva and Shakti in Blissful Union. Join the Explosive Devotion! --Dana Flynn and Jasmine Tarkeshi, founders of Laughing Lotus Yoga Center, NYC, www.laughinglotus.com Check out the artist's website: http://seanjohnsonkirtan.com Track List: 1.
