Way to go, Ramesha!

Ramesha and Christian are busy working on Ramesha’s next CD. In fact, they’re just finishing their third full day in the studio and today I got to be part of the project, too (recording flute, background vocal, and clapping tracks). It was great to see and hear all the good work they’re accomplishing; I’m particularly proud of the way Ramesha is going gang-busters with this exciting new business of his!

In order to get three or four uninterrupted days they had to move back into the “original” recording studio underneath Crystal Hermitage. It felt a like homecoming for me, bringing back memories of the long weekend I spent recording Secrets of Love in October of 1999. Amazing to realize, but that was before I had even met Swami Kriyananda!

I love this photo of Ramesha from today. His joy and enthusiasm are palpable! It’s going to be a great CD. 🙂

Such bright eyes and happy smile!

Getting ready

At the request of the Sound Dept, a number of musicians–including Ramesha and I–spent time this evening playing and singing in the new Temple of Light.

The idea is to allow the sound team to become thoroughly acquainted with their new equipment and the new venue–all before the start of the biggest event in Ananda’s history.

The acoustic is amazing! You don’t get the full effect in this brief video because the sound folks were experimenting with equipment and levels, but trust me…it’s incredibile!

There really are no words to adequately describe the blessing it is to be part of bringing this Temple into manifestation, even in these little teeny ways.

Jai Guru! Jai Swamiji!
