OK, so for the time being I'm calling my band "The Sitapati Project". After all, it's all about me,right? ;-)

Check it out on Reverb Nation or Facebook.

For western readers of this blog this song may be an acquired taste. It has a beautiful melody and rhythm though doesn't it?

I like artists of all kinds who try to spread Krishna consciousness through their art. Our Vaishnava tradition is a very appealing one because Krishna Himself, His form, name, activities, and His messages, are endlessly attractive and always fresh. For thousands of years devotees have used dance, graphic art, sculpture, architecture, poetry and music to convey something of the beauty of Krishna.

The great saint and revivalist, Bhaktivinode Thakura, wrote that in the future the kirtan of the holy name of Krishna would be sung in local languages and according to local musical traditions. These days young Vaishnavas in particular try to share not only the name of the Lord but also an uplifting message in the lyrics of their songs. Often they have to be cryptic in order to do that, conveying a feeling rather than direct teaching. Still others write more directly. They are straightforward in their lyrical content, often quoting chunks of scripture.
