Music and Mantras by Girish
Popular yogi-musician Girish opens new possibilities for transforming your life through song, combining the ancient art of singing mantra with twenty-first century neuroscience research.For as long as he can remember, Girish has created rhythm to accompany life. His first experience of music as sacred art came in college, playing with jazz bands. During improvisational sessions, he recalls, there were these unexplainable moments of synchronicity and intuition that felt like magic. This started Girish on an unexpected journey a seeming detour to live as a monk in an ashram for five years that inadvertently nourished his musical artistry. Here, he studied Sanskrit as a means to understand the deeper meanings of ancient chants, which sparked a life-changing event that led him back to music and to combining music with Sanskrit chants. Now he shares what he s learned to help people of all ages, backgrounds, and traditions to transform body, brain, and life through mantra and music.
With Music and Mantras, Girish has created a toolkit for personal transformation through singing, sharing his own experience as a musician, yogi, former Hindu monk, and PTSD patient. Weaving simple, elegant mantras from ancient traditions with cutting-edge neuroscience, Girish shows us how to achieve greater peace of mind, clarity, calm, focus, and even improved health and wealth through kirtan, the yogic art of chanting an inspiration that anyone can sing their way to happiness, health, and prosperity.
