  • "Calling Lord Hanuman" Free Download

    Dear friends,

    Here's a new free live download:

    Calling Lord Hanuman.

    A beautiful and spacious moment from our gig in Vancouver on November 19th. That's Daniel Paul on tablas. Here are some of the words, written by Tulsi Das in the 16th century:

    Siya Rama Mein Suba Jaga Jani
    Karahun Pranama Jora Juga Pani.

    I see Sita and Rama in every face that I meet so I bow to Sita Ram in everyone!

    Visit my site to listen and download.

    Enjoy......

    Peace,

    Jai

  • Jai Newsletter - October 1, 2009

    Dear friends,

    Whew........... Last night we went to an Autumn Equinox ceremony at Ezra Gopal's little school and the wind picked up, the temperature dropped suddenly and Fall made her stormy entrance. I was singing "Sita Ram" with the kids and a few of us grownups all huddled together shivering. But it's actually really beautiful - that early chill that brings with it the melancholy of winter... I hope everyone stays healthy in this coming season.

    Another thing about autumn is that it announces my annual East Coast mini-tour. This year we're trying something slightly different. Instead of singing in many different yoga studios, Integral Yoga is hosting me for a larger event at the Community Church of New York. I'll be singing with a much larger band than usual - bigger venue, louder noise! - then doing a weekend workshop at IYI, plus concerts in New Hope, Woodstock and Pensacola, Florida (!!!). Check below for the details.

    Also, here's another free download for you all. "Invocation," recorded at Vara Arts in Albany, California by Lou Judson. That's me singing and playing, of course, with Daniel Paul and Radhanath Das drumming and a little bit of Karnamrita's beautiful voice peeking in from behind the clouds. Visit the site to listen or download. Enjoy.

    Don't forget to register for the New Year's retreat in Costa Rica. If you register by October 15 you save $200!!! This is going to be a truly awesome Kirtan Camp! See details below.

    And last but not least, have all you iPhone freaks downloaded the Jai Uttal app? And have all you Jai fans gotten "Thunder Love"?

    Ok, bye for now! Peace and love,

    Jai
