Living Sa-Ta-Na-Ma

“Sa Ta Na Ma” is a mantra that describes the cycle of the soul: The expansive spirit or Infinity, the experience of life, death or transformation, and rebirth. I like to imagine the energy of Sa-Ta-Na-Ma occurring in smaller cycles throughout life. We imagine, then we move forward and experience what we imagined, then that experience dies and we are born into another experience.
In 2002, I began practicing Kundalini Yoga and imagined life as a teacher. And here it is, nearly 2013, and I’ve experienced teaching small and large groups alike. The joy I feel as a teacher is incomparable to any other.
Now is the time to allow this cycle to end and see another emerge. I am releasing the Tuesday/Thursday classes at Yoga Yoga and teaching one class a week. I intend to focus more on music and deepening my experience of the teachings. I do not know what lies ahead, but I do know that time and space are needed to reflect and project to create a sustainable future.
I will be in touch with all the new projects as they manifest. I am grateful for all of your love and support!

Singer Songwriter Contest

In classes, I like to put the teachings of yoga in my own words in order to explain them with authenticity. Likewise, I write songs in english to further express and communicate from a place of authenticity. To share these songs, I have entered a singer-songwriter contest to win recording time with producer John Shanks for five of my english songs!
To ‘vote’ for me, go onto youtube and ‘like’ my videos. You can show your support by ‘liking’ or following my music at the following social media outlets listed under the name Robin Dharampal:

The contest is decided by how many new social media supporters I generate by December 23rd. There is no cost to you, just a few moments of time!  Here is my video submission for the contest.  This will be one of the two english songs on the album that you funded!  Thank you!

Summer Tour 2013

The new album is coming out in May and I am beginning to put together a tour schedule for Summer 2013. I would like start small and begin playing house concerts and small music festivals.
If you have a home large enough to fit 10-15 lovely souls within, then send me an email at dharampalmusic@gmail.com and we may be able to plan a house concert! I am also open to playing in a small neighborhood community center or church. I'm looking forward to sharing music in your city!
