Kirtan by Keshavacharya
Thursday April 17, 6:30 pm
Enjoy a sublime evening of celestial chanting
Vegetarian Buffet open til 7:00 pm
For Keshavacharya Das, kirtan is not merely a musical style - it is a way of life.
An accomplished musician and vocalist, he has spent the last 16 years living
as a monk in different ashrams around the world, studying the Bhakti tradition,
and focusing his spiritual practice on the daily chanting of mantras and
performance of heartfelt kirtan. Keshavacharya's particular style has roots in
Bengal, India and is also deeply influenced by the North Indian pilgrimage
town Vrindavan, the sacred land of Sri Krishna and residence of many great
saints.
After regular concerts in the New York City area, including Jivamukti Yoga
Studio, Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, and the Ananda Ashram Yoga
Society, he recorded his first live studio recording of traditional Indian kirtan.
Released in April of 2007, "Crying of the Soul" continues to be warmly received
and praised.
"The haunting melodies and deep soulful emotions of Keshavacharya Das's
kirtan brings me immediately to the ancient temple inside of my heart where
the moods of longing and ecstasy dance together eternally at the feet of the
Lord. I love his singing." (Jai Uttal)
KIRTAN literally means "to share, to celebrate, to praise, and to glorify."
It is the practice of immersing oneself in the ancient sound vibrations of
sacred mantras, a tradition which has been handed down for millennia
from master to student, unlocking the keys to inner awareness and
satisfaction. The mantras are primarily in the Sanskrit language, allowing
one to experience Kirtan in its original form. The repetition of mantra is a
simple and joyful way of calming the mind and experiencing rejuvenation
and well being.

Exciting Project Currently Underway
The Monday after Holi, excavators moved onto the
temple property with their bull dozers and back hoes.
They worked for two days rearranging soil and levelling
a site 90 feet in diameter for the new performing arts
auditorium.
The fabricated building is now ready to be shipped from
Texas. It will appear similar to the one below, with the
addition of insulated glass walls. This will make it ideal
for winter events like Shiva Ratri and the Diwali celebration
with its Dandiya Ras folk dancing. In summer, it can be
used for wedding ceremonies.
When not being used for festival events, the Cultural
Hall will
be a permanent exhibit center. Portable panels and
displays will
explain Vedic culture, history, art, philosophy,
literature, and
religion, which tourists will be able to peruse
at their leisure.
Means to donate for the above. 1) Send a check to Krishna
Temple, 8628
S. State Road, Spanish Fork, Utah 84660.
2) Call Caru at(801)
798-3559/787-1510 with Credit or Debit
Card Number 3) Go to paypal.com
and credit a donation to

 Bhagavatam Break
A sannyasi, known for his extra lengthy Bhagavatam
classes, was giving a lecture when he noticed a man
get up and leave during the middle of his class. The
man returned just before the conclusion of the class.
Afterward the Swami asked the man where he had gone.
"I went to get a haircut," the man replied.
"Well," said the irritated sannyasi , "why didn't you
think to do that before the Bhagavatam class started?"
"Because," the gentleman said calmly, "I didn't need
one then."
