Jai Uttal is a Grammy nominated singer and a pioneer in the world music community with his eclectic East-meets-West sound. He is a sacred music composer, recording artist, multi-instrumentalist, master storyteller and ecstatic vocalist, who combines influences from India with American rock and jazz to create a stimulating and exotic multicultural fusion that is truly world spirit music.
Jai has been a part of the Neem Karoli Baba satsang for decades, and was a dear friend and brother of Ram Dass. He offers the practice of Kirtan, a form of devotional (Bhakti) yoga that involves singing the different names of God as a way to expand our hearts and bring us into the essence of the moment.
In Jai's words, "Kirtan is for all people. There are no masters of kirtan, no experts, no teachers, no advanced students, no beginners. The practice itself is the teacher, guiding us to ourselves. Kirtan teaches itself by allowing us to enter into a mystery world — a world where all the logic of our minds, all the conditioning and learning are left outside — and we allow ourselves to expand into the mystery."
During his live event, Jai will offer music, kirtan, storytelling and a brief Q&A session from the audience.
