“I just had a truly special evening at Ananda Yoga Belgrave listening to beautiful music from Vinod Prasanna, Roderick McLeod and Vasudha Harte, participating in some wonderful kirtan chanting with a roomful of kind, gentle souls.
I felt warm, comforted, safe to be vulnerable and enjoyed everything the music brought me – from joyful singing to cleansing tears….If you get a chance to hear any of these musicians play, it’s absolutely worth making time for.” the urban nanna

“There are special incantations used in India, called mantras, which have great vibratory force. Repeating them aloud or mentally – with sincere feeling, intelligent understanding and intense concentration and determination to persevere until Divine contact is actually felt – produces distinct results; body and mind are charged with power as their vibratory rate is heightened.”
Paramahansa Yogananda

“Music is the greatest mystery in the world.
The whole manifestation is made of vibrations, and vibrations contain all its secrets.
The vibrations of music free the soul and take from a person all the heaviness which keeps him bound.”
Hazrat Inayat Khan, The Mysticism of Sound and Music
