She released many spiritual jazz masterpieces on Impulse! Records, including “Journey in Suchdhananda” and “Puta the L’Dode.” However, in 1978, she began a lifestyle rooted in Eastern thought (particularly Indian philosophy) and became a spiritual teacher herself, which led her to withdraw from commercial musical activities such as recording and concerts. In 1981, she began composing music for use in ashrams and worship services, and the following year, she produced cassette tapes to distribute to her students. This work is now being officially released for the first time on CD, LP, and digitally. Kirtan refers to the practice of conveying prayers to God through music—what is often called “singing yoga”—and on this album, you can hear her vocals alongside skillfully played organ, synthesizer, and strings.\nIt is said that when it was distributed among friends on cassette in 1982, approximately 500 copies were produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Jagadishwar\u003cbr\u003e2.Jai Ramachandra\u003cbr\u003e3.Krishna Krishna\u003cbr\u003e4.Rama Katha\u003cbr\u003e5.Yamuna Tira Vihari\u003cbr\u003e1.Charanam\u003cbr\u003e2.Govinda Hari\u003cbr\u003e3.Hara Siva\u003cbr\u003e4.Pranadhana\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Impulse!","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44774270959905,"sku":"602435939766","price":49.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/products\/602435939766.jpg?v=1679126238","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/de-de\/products\/602435939766","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
