The GuruGanesha Band is the latest project from the mind, heart and guitar of world devotional music pioneer GuruGanesha Singh. Renowned for his work with sublime vocalists like Snatam Kaur, Nirinjan Kaur and Tina Malia, GuruGanesha steps into the limelight with his latest musical venture, a multi-talented ensemble culled from the A-list of players and singers on today’s rapidly-expanding kirtan/chant/yoga music scene.

Long noted for the effortless grace and mellifluous lyricism of his acoustic guitar work, GuruGanesha has turned his talents to his first love, the electric guitar, to ignite the incandescent sound of The GuruGanesha Band. With shimmering, glassy tonalities and evocative textures, he takes the vast sonic potential of modern guitar electronics to a new and blissful place. Accompanying him on this musical journey are master cellist/multi-instrumentalist Hans Christian (RASA, Krishna Das, Robbie Robertson, Harry Manx, Jai Uttal and Donna De Lory), tabla/percussion stalwart Daniel Paul (Jai Uttal, Jaya Lakshmi, Donna De Lory, K. Sridhar), beguiling and unforgettable newcomer Michelle Hurtado on vocals, Spirit Voyage recording artist/ kundalini yoga teacher Sat Kartar Singh on acoustic guitar, and kundalini bass guitar magician Gurusangat Singh (recording artist and producer of the popular Miracle Mantra Series).

“This is a project that I’ve had in my heart for many years,” says GuruGanesha. “The idea behind The GuruGanesha Band is to bring to the world music scene a group that can musically hold its own with the great guitar bands of all time, but instead of conventional lyrics, singing mantras and divine poetry to transport audiences to a profoundly beautiful and transcendent place. All of the spiritual and musical work I’ve done for the past 39 years has been preparing me for this.”

10895847859?profile=originalGuruGanesha describes the GGB sound as “a unique blend of kirtan, raga, rock, and deeply meditative folk music. I will primarily be playing electric guitar and I’ve hand-picked the musicians not only for their musical virtuosity but also for their ability to channel the spiritual energy that the band will be serving. The vocals will be a group effort with plenty of rich two and three part harmonies though Michelle will regularly step out and blow people away with her amazing vocal improvisations. The audience will be encouraged to fully participate, whether it be singing along, dancing or just meditating deeply on the music.”

Come share a magical evening of music, stories, joy and inspiration with GuruGanesha and his incomparable band. All profits from the concerts will be donated to some of GuruGanesha’s favorite charities.

The Mayan Calendar | Devotional Tantra

10895847486?profile=originalBy Rundy, Devotional Tantra

Today is the Aquarius New Moon, the Chinese New Year: The Year of the Dragon, and in numerology an 11 day 1 + 23 (5) + 2012 (5) = 11. The new moon represents new beginnings, what begins anew in your life today? And 11 is the number (vibration) of mastery, together these energies present lots of heavenly possibilities.

At the end of this email are the updates for classes, radio-show, etc.

But first I want to delve into the topic of the Mayan Calendar for this is an area of in depth study for me. As we begin to head full force into 2012 the December 21, 2012 date of the Mayan Calendar looms in the backs of many peoples minds -- many people are curious as to what to expect. Fortunately there are many scholarly books written on the subject, the Argüelles and the Calleman books in particular, are quite interesting and inspiring to read. There are some astrological and numerological insights as well, which give us a pretty clear indication as to what to expect.

Because the Mayan Prophecies are based on the astrological orbit of Venus we can assume that the 2012 planetary alignment will be like other similar planetary alignments, which means, usually on the date they actually do occur no one notices much of anything. Yet, later, we see that many things did in all actuality shift.

Does anyone recall the much ballyhooed Harmonic Convergence of 1987? It was not as well known as the Mayan Calendar, but it was quite significant at the time nevertheless, and looking back we can recognize its influence, and also that it served as an energetic cleansing that prepared us for where we are now as a civilization.

Using the system of numerology look at the date of the Mayan Prophecy and what do you see? 12 – 21 – 2012. Every number is either a one or a two. Ones represent the visionary. Twos represent collaboration. In numerology the numbers are always added and then reduced so 12 becomes 1 + 2 = 3. Three is the number of communication. 2 + 1 = 3 is repeated. Then we come to 2012. 2 + 1 + 2 = 5. Five is the number of freedom and the progressive. Together we get 12 (3) + 21 (3) + 2012 (5) = 11. Ahhh, now there is the ticket, for 11 is the number (or vibration) of mastery. The sum total of the numerological numbers on that date indicates vision, collaboration, communication, progress, and mastery. In a nutshell the numbers on that day tell us that we are entering into a new age when the expression of progressive global communication will be redefined and by some, mastered.

But wait, you might be asking, global communication has already happened with computers right? Yes, on both a superficial and a technical level, but humanity is being called to communicate in an entirely new way – a way founded in compassion, empathy, and understanding. Until now almost all global communication has been male oriented with an emphasis on speed and efficiency. It has been primarily cerebrally focused and devoid of heart. While tolerance and acceptance of that which is different are positive steps in today’s world they are not the same as genuine respect, interest, and curiosity in that which is different. We are being called to slow way down and to care about each other, to inquire and learn about each other, and to show this in the way we communicate. How do I know this? That is where Venus and Neptune come in.

As mentioned previously the Mayan Calendar is based on the orbit of the planet Venus. Additionally, right around the Mayan December date the sign of Neptune enters its original sign of Pieces for the first time since its discovery. Venus is the lower octave of love, Neptune the higher. Make no mistake here; The Mayan Prophecies represent a huge purification and shift in global consciousness and the foundation for this new and elevated consciousness is unmistakably love.

The planet Venus represents the expression of love, romance, affection, beauty, pleasure, happiness, luxury, manners and social graces. Neptune is the planet of mysticism, cosmic transmissions, spirituality, idealism, mystery, intuition, dreams, singing, surrealism, archetypes, fantasy and imagination. Together, these planets will serve to redefine mankind’s concept of beauty, serve to open humanities collective heart, and place an emphasis on all things feminine such as intuition, receptivity, mutuality, adaptability, compassion, kindness, service, connection with the earth, and reconnection to humanity at large. Naturally this energy will affect all consciousness on this planet, but those who are humble and pure of heart will hold the keys to the kingdom and have access to never seen before psychic, cosmic, spiritually, and creative abilities and gifts – the Light of God will literally shine through them.

Edgar Cayce and many other great mystics’ have prophesied about a time in the not too distant future when man would be ready to finally step into his true divine destiny; Cayce spoke of strategically placed crystals and other healing modalities that were hidden around the earth and once discovered would be great tools for healing and peace. These tools, he predicted, would elevate mankind if and when mankind was ready to work with such powerful energies. Is that time here? Sadly I don’t think so; as long as we live in an apathetic, material-obsessed world filled with hate, prejudice, corruption, and self absorption the answer is an unequivocal no.

“So there’s a lotta sense in living when the world we know starts giving, we can spread our wings some sunny day and fly away. But ‘til we all fly together what sense does it make?” - Seals & Crofts

But just as the Harmonic Convergence prepared some numbers of light-workers, the Mayan Prophecies will prepare even more, and soon the numbers of those serving the light will be great enough to create the necessary shifts to save our planet and each other and reclaim heaven on earth.

For true spiritual seekers – those who truly love and serve God --the Mayan Calendar transmission is going to be an awesome time. It is going to be a time when there are no limits to human/divine expression, a time to experience unlimited divine gifts while still living in an earth-bound body. Many people are already working with these incoming frequencies through spiritual practices like daily meditation.

But for much of humanity, those living a low chakra existence, nothing much will change. The world around them will just seem to spin faster and faster until the energies become too much – too intense and they will either continue to numb themselves or choose to leave their bodies and return home to God.

Have you noticed how many people have been dying the past 2-3 years? It is astounding. But mourn not the dead, for they are at peace and merely retuning “home” to God; mourn the living, those who are paralyzed with fear who are sleepwalking through life. Many souls are retuning “home” to regroup and reincarnate again right away in this new and glorious global consciousness, and still others will want to leave earth and work as light-workers on the other side.

Just remember, no matter how bad things may appear with wars, poverty, social, economic, and environmental issues, all this was expected; as polarity and duality are natural laws of the universe. We cannot expect great light without first experiencing great dark.

“There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.” - Leonard Cohen

So start preparing now! Practice love, kindness, generosity, and selflessness, let these qualities define who you are. Help anyone you possibly can in any way you can; become a smile millionaire. Focus on Neptunian pursuits such as yoga, meditation, prayer, dream-work, creative pursuits, nature rituals, moon rituals, bathing rituals, and learning to be still and quiet. Reach out to your Angels and guides. Read books about astral-projection, crystals, dowsing, psychic healing, intuition, channeling, clairvoyance, horse-whispering, astrology, numerology, and kundalini. Get out in nature, go to bed early. Go for walks and stretch to strengthen and purify your body and prepare for the divine energies at hand. And most important of all, commune daily with God, for that is the Source of all this magic. No matter how fast the world may spin we are safe, for God is holding us all. The Mayan Calendar promises to awaken divine gifts in those who truly aspire to serve. You can do or be anything you want; the only limits to the human potential are those that exist in our own mind. Do you want to serve self or a higher purpose? The choice is yours. God is waiting for you - God is waiting for us all.

The on-line Radio show “tantra-talk” is a show focused entirely on answering listener’s questions about the topics of sacred sexuality and sexual healing and will be on the air any day now. In the blog section the Men’s health blog has been updated and there is a new blog in the Metaphysics section. It is an astrological profile comparing the lives of Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson. New classes are on the way, and I am available for private seasons. See the Services tab on the website.

That’s my two cents worth, thank you for reading.

My wish for you all is that you will continue to develop your minds, question everything, impact change, and most important of all, keep your hearts open and pure, and your face always to God.

With Love,
Rundy
