August 12, 2008: Touring Out West

Jai Ma!
I recently toured in parts of the country where I hadn't presented before (Colorado and California). Among the highlights was doing booksigning and devotional chanting demonstrations at INATS (International New Age Trade Show). At the previous INATS event (in Orlando, Florida, this past January), Following Sound into Silence: Chanting Your Way Beyond Ego into Bliss was selected for "Best of Show" honors by the editor of New Age Retailer magazine, so many of the trade show attendees were primed with some prior knowledge of the book & CD.

I signed hundreds of copies at the Hay House exhibit over a couple of days, and lead devotional chanting for lots of folks who sat right there on the floor with me, as well as passers-by. Then, to cap it off, I was the "entertainment" for attendees at the INATS Banquet and COVR (Coalition of Visionary Resources) Awards ceremony, so I got to lead chant for 100+ people, many of whom had never experienced anything like this before. Many folks broke into dancing. It was beautiful!

Many people went out of their way to express their delight and gratitude for this experience, both immediately after the event and in the days that followed. In describing their impressions, quite a number used phrases surprisingly similar to one another; for example, "I was relaxed and energized at the same time"; "After chanting with you, I slept like I haven't slept in many years"; "You didn't just entertain us, you offered us something we can use for the rest of our lives"; "The way you explained the mantras, and the stories you told, made chanting with you such a vivid spiritual journey." Speaking for myself, I was very happy that so many folks took an active part--using their voices with such evident joy and release.

The tour in California was especially full--ten events across eight days: kirtans and other devotional chanting events, booksignings, and also a number of media interviews, including one for "Your Health TV," with host Gina Renee, in Monterey, California. You'll find the video clips (Parts 1 & 2) of this interview here, in my Photo & Video Album. Please tell others about these clips; better still, embed them in your website, MySpace page, or other social networking site, to provide others a brief, but potent, introduction to the transformative art of devotional chanting.

Those eight days were the longest stretch of time I'd ever spent away from my family, and we were missing each other terribly. I returned bearing gifts--including See's chocolates, which Jaishree had never tasted (but that I remembered well from when I lived in California, back in the 1980s). The first thing Bodhi said when I took him up in my arms was, "Papa, chant to Bodhi?" I melted on the spot.

My thanks to all of you who helped make this tour a memorable adventure in Devotion. Goddess bless and keep you in Love.
