India’s rich heritage of music is at risk of being lost so to preserve this precious legacy, Deobrat and his family formed the Mishra Academy of Indian Classical Music which replicates the system of passing down knowledge from master to student. Deobrat composes in traditional Indian raga style and has collaborated with Dean Evenson on the album YOGA MANTRA featuring the Gayatri Mantra and six other devotional chants.

Surviving Politics

We just had an election and some people are happy while some people are not. Democratic elections are interesting that way. At the end of the day, about half the people are celebrating while the other half are feeling devastated. We need to figure out how to survive divisive elections and politics in general. The question is how do we move forward without giving up hope or causing more alienation. This podcast was actually recorded four years ago, but it is as relevant today as it was then. Needless to say, we wish everyone peace no matter how they voted.

Interview with guitar virtuoso Stanley Jordan

A few years ago, we met guitar virtuoso Stanley Jordan at a Music Therapy Conference. We were intrigued that an avant-garde jazz guitarist was featured at a sound healing event, but once we heard him play, we understood why he was included in the program. Later, we arranged to interview Jordan after his gig at Jazz Alley in Seattle. We were fascinated to learn more about his interesting journey from being a successful jazz artist to his work in the sound healing field. You can also watch the video of the interview on our Soundings Mindful Media YouTube channel. Enjoy.

Baba Ram Dass, 1976 Lecture

This podcast features a rare, previously unreleased lecture by Baba Ram Dass we recorded in 1976.  Dean Evenson and I videotaped him while we were working with Grassroots TV, the Aspen public access station.  Alongside the podcast, we present the entire video of the lecture on our new Soundings Mindful Media YouTube channel. We hope you will check out the channel and subscribe for more meaningful content coming soon.

With the passing of Baba Ram Dass (aka Richard Albert), we honor his legacy by sharing this lecture that we recently uncovered in our vast video archive. Like so many in our generation, Dean and I were deeply inspired by his book Be Here Now and the stories of meditating with his guru in India. Ram Dass is also part of the reason we started our music label Soundings of the Planet in 1979. Thanks for subscribing to Soundings Mindful Media and for sharing the podcast and video with your friends. May his wit and wisdom live on in our hearts. People who wish to support his memory can donate to his Love Serve Remember Foundation.
