Nada Brahma - Sound is God
A Retreat with Deepak Ram

This is a rare opportunity to study music with North Indian Classical Musician Deepak Ram.This special weekend retreat will focus on sound and music as vehicles for the journey within.

"The flute of interior time is played whether we hear it or not." - Kabir

The program will include basic yoga postures accompanied by prescribed mantras (Sanskrit chants), concentration (dharana) and meditation (dhyana) on Ragas (Indian melodic forms, which are prescribed for specific times of day), kirtan (chanting of spiritual songs and chants), talks and discussions on Nada Brahma (the path of realizing God through sound and music), and a concert of North Indian music featuring Bansuri (Flute) and Tabla (Drum).

Deepak Ram is a senior disciple of world-renowned bansuri maestro Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia. Deepak has received acclaim for the Best Instrumental Album, Searching for Satyam, South African Music Awards, in 2000. He has performed in many countries around the world. He has been Artist in Residence at Mount Madonna Center, bringing his inspired playing of the flute to individual and group instruction and to magical concerts. The London Guardian, reviewing his work, has heralded "phenomenal flute playing and (an) accomplished composer."
