New World Kirtan, Corvallis, OR (2025)

02/18/2023

I’m feeling blessed by a lot these days. Those of you who listen to the New World Kirtan Podcast are one of my biggest blessings — this community has enriched my life in ways too numerous to count. Thank you for being here. And we’ve been here together for quite a long time — the first edition of the podcast was posted in 2008 before anyone really knew what a podcast was. I was always trying to explain it! We’ve been through quite a journey together — my mother’s illness & death, my own surgeries & health challenges, several momentous American elections and the COVID-19 pandemic, to name a few. Kirtan & Bhakti Yoga were my anchors through all of it.
To honor our journey, I’m rerunning some of the most downloaded episodes of the NWK Podcast over the years. We'll begin with Om Shiva from 2013, celebrating the Hindu festival of Maha Shivaratri on February 18. This podcast has been a journal of sorts, and I have to say I loved listening to my 2013 self talking about how I’d like to build a kirtan community here in Corvallis. How far we’ve come!
I'm blessed to have you as a listener, dear one. Until next time. Namaste.

I'm just finishing the interview with Dave Stringer, Madi Das & Seán Johnson, we talk about the Grammy nomination process & the musical influences behind Dave & Madi's Grammy-nominated album 'Mantra Americana'. It's a GREAT album, so rich musically -- the interview will feature cuts.
Dave & Madi are going to the Grammy Awards on Sunday night, so send them lots of good vibes & positive thoughts! Let's hope more people find out about this magical music through this exposure.

It has been a glorious summer & fall here, one of the most beautiful I can remember. But now the rains have started, and the leaves are falling. The Corvallis kirtan community continues to grow, and we’ll be starting live kirtan concerts again in December. It feels good to be returning to this magical practice.
Let’s enter the way back machine for a moment and recall, back in April, me telling you about the Auricle Collective — a community of more than 156 musicians rooted in singing, chanting & music as art and spiritual practice. These are the musicians that fuel our Bhakti Yoga practice. If you were able to participate in the Spotify Experiment, explained in the 2 previous podcasts, we are deeply grateful. Here are some of the results.
Since the launch of The Experiment, we have generated over 2,000 Spotify followers for our kirtan artists, with an average growth of 280% in followers from before the Experiment began. This means that our artists’ music will be circulated more widely through Spotify’s algorithms, and whenever any Auricle artist releases new music, many more listeners will be notified. We now have 1,00 subscribers to the Auricle newsletter and have heard from many artists from around the world who wish to join the Collective. This is a fantastic beginning, and we’re excited to see the impact expand and the ripple effect over time. We’re so thankful for your support in making this possible!
The Spotify Experiment is now ongoing; anyone can follow all of our artists with one click at any time. Click on this link, and please continue to share!
Here’s some more exciting news — sacred chant has been designated as a new category for the Grammy awards! The next few podcasts will be featuring music from our Grammy-nominated artists, so stay tuned!
The music in this week’s set is the third and last of the podcasts with all new music from Auricle Collective artists. Please enjoy, and if you think of it, please give the podcast a rating on iTunes, it will help more people to find us.
Vote. Believe in the vision, and what a beautiful world we’ll create. Much love to you all, and until next time — Namaste.

Hello friends,
Happy Thanksgiving!
Sometimes it takes something bad happening in your life to get you radically present to how beautiful life is, and how fortunate you are. That’s where I am at the moment — thankful, grateful, blessed describes it perfectly.
This week the music is all about expressing gratitude to the Divine for our many blessings. Last Friday we sang the chants at the beginning of the set, and when we got to ‘Ang Sang Wahe Guru’ we focused on the heart chakra opening to the infinite stream of gratitude to the Divine — it was really powerful. There’s a 40-Day Sadhana led by Mirabai Ceiba that goes more deeply into this, the link is in the show notes.
Yet another reason for me to be thankful is the community that has been built around this podcast. If you’re listening, I’m grateful for you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for one of the deepest blessings of my life. Until next time, dear ones — Namaste.

I’ve been listening to Miten’s new CD ‘The Jungle Sessions” lately. It was recorded in Costa Rica during lockdown, and what a delight it is! 'Never Give Up On Love' beautifully expresses where I’m at just now, but all the tracks are great, you should check it out.
I’m still coming at you from the couch, but there have been some positive developments. I started physical therapy last week, and have made appointments for MRIs, with the neurologist, etc. Everyone is booking into December, so this is yet another invitation for me to cool my jets and be patient. But I made it down the steps to the basement yesterday & was able to also come back up — that was a big accomplishment! I’m mostly just hanging out with Bill & the cats and doing lots of spiritual work. The injury sucks, but it is also blessing me with an opportunity to dive deep. The recovery process has become a spiritual journey, and I’m taking advantage of it.
Kitzie's words of wisdom for the week? Please, please .. live your life as much as possible in Unity Consciousness. This consciousness manifests as a sense of oneness, compassion, love & respect, both for human beings and for nature. You can foster & encourage unity consciousness through meditation. Global solidarity -- all of us united in Love, in this consciousness, will change our world.
Thanks for listening to the podcast, dear hearts, and until next time —Namaste.
THE SET:
Miten, The Jungle Session; Never Give Up On Love
Deva Premal & Miten, Om Namo Bhagavate/Oneness: Omega Ecstatic Chant
