We have been having a tough winter in the Midwest. A cold Polar Vortex turned everything into ice and on top of that there has been lots of snow. Last week I went to Iowa to give a concert and went through three separate snowstorms. It snowed on the day I was leaving. It snowed on the day of the concert–but still 20 people showed up for it, and it snowed on the day I was leaving Iowa.

Now, however, I am in India where the temperature ranges from 60 degrees in the morning to about 85 during the day. It is a welcome relief from the winter. I won’t be doing much music here in India because my Indian guitar just died! The bridge somehow started peeling off the main part of the body. I will be busy though meeting with other meditation teachers and doing lots of meditation.

In a few days I will be in India.  I will be bringing a box of my new CDs and I hope to give copies to many schools in India which are run by the Ananda Marga organization.  In addition I will be participating in a six day event of kiirtan (spiritual chanting) and meditation, and at the end of the my stay in India I will give a few lectures.  Last year I spoke at a college in Odisha and at the Renaissance Universal Club in Bhubanesvar.

Our community participated in a Health and Wellness Fair held at the Marketplace Mall in Champaign this past weekend (January 26).  We displayed our books and CDs and spoke to people about yoga and meditation. I recently held an introduction to meditation workshop and started a new series of Blissed-Out Yoga Classes.  Here is a photo from the Health and Wellness Fair.
