Dear Wah, I was at Bhava Yoga (Albuquerque, NM) last night, BEAUTIFUL chanting and sharing your insightful - spot on!- comments and thoughts. It was absolutely blissful!! THANK YOU!!!! Satkirin Monday, December 6, 2010 2:45 PM

Hi Wah: I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful performance in Albuquerque (NM at Bhava Yoga). Very nice indeed. Thanks for allowing me to sit in during your rehearsal. I thoroughly enjoyed the melodies and mantras of Ganesh, Krishna, Ma and Shiva. I just wanted to let you know how wonderful it would be to hear from you a song composed out of a few verses from one of the oldest literature/scriptures --the Rig Veda. As science digs deeper into it, the evidence is becoming clearer that the Rig Veda may have been the oldest form of real event history and/or spoken words dating back to 7 to 10,000 years. We can perhaps even call this period "The Beginning".. to reflect the dawn of humanity. Thanks again. Alok 12/6/10 12:21 PM

Wah! What a divine connection. Your words bring tears to my eyes because all you say resonates so much with my heart and soul.  It is so easy to open one's heart to you.  You just get it... you get it all.  What a gift you are.  Now I am teared up again.  It is true though... you are a blessing to so many.  Thank you, Beautiful Wah. So much love for eternity, K 10/2.10 1.20 AM

Dear Wah, I recently attended the Bhakti Festival in Joshua Tree. I had the heartfelt pleasure of hearing you chant, play, pray and sing to the Divine Mother. It was a very happy experience for me to be the dust under the feet of such praise and love for the divine Mother Ammachi whom I have heard that you are a devotee of. I felt the happiness of the Mother's love and as there is no separation in this vehicle there was no boundaries to feeling how happy and wonderful the Love is. Thank you for being a conduit of that and my heart is happy to have you met you in this way. Always here as Love, Santosha Ma Monday, September 13, 2010 5:01 PM

Wah! - So wonderful to have you back at (Omega Ecstatic Chant Festival/Rhineback, NY) chant again this year - I really love what you're doing - truly fantastic - was trying to get some sleep on Saturday and leave early, but I couldn't leave your 2am set - very powerful, different and beautiful. Friday Goddess night was also a big hit - thanks for being... Stephan Tuesday, September 7, 2010 8:46 AM

Hi, I hope this e-missive finds you in good health and spirits.  I've just returned from the Ecstatic Chanting weekend.  First time at Omega. First time seriously chanting.  And first time hearing you. The most extraordinary thing in a really extraordinary weekend was your performances. Very rarely has something, music or otherwise, moved and touched me like you did--especially at 2 am! You touched my heart with your sonic offerings in a unique and deeply beautiful way.  I feel/know it will have a lasting and profound effect on me and my practice. Thank you, thank you, thank you! with deep gratitude, Bill 9/6/10 7:35 AM

Bill, your words are uplifting, thank you!  Being able to gather together is a great gift – to sing the Names of God – bringing together many groups and many lifestyles just to drink in the higher energy.  You feel blessed, I feel blessed, I think it was an incredible weekend for all of us, and I’m so glad you got to share in it. May we remember that this high frequency exists for us, as we reenter our lives and responsibilities. Jai ma, wah 9/7/10 8:58 PM

Dear Wah, Last evening (at Prakasa Yoga/Goshen, MA) was simply magical...the full moon & venus bound together in the heavens; the clear stillness that arose from singing the holy names. I was shaktified all night. All of nature was dancing to your beautiful grooves... Lynne Friday, August 27, 2010 3:47 AM

I'm always amazed each time I see Wah! perform. Her stunningly pure voice and innovative composition take listeners into another dimension. Being a full time DJ, with very picky musical taste, I find Wah's music to be super fresh every time I hear it." -DJ HyFi 8/19/10

Wah (concert at Inner Sun in Oshkosh, WI) was amazing as always but her percussionist - no drums - that was crazy - he did it all beatboxing!! Talented! Wow!!! ~ Nicole Monday, July 19, 2010 7:33 AM

I agree... Mike Haziza is the BOMB! wah

Sweet gathering last night in Boulder (at Omtime Yoga) -- nice vibe. paul Friday, July 16, 2010 8:45 AM

Dear Wah! There is great strength in you. I saw it from the start. I was thinking Sunday (at Inner Sun Yoga/Oshkosh, WI) how things come full circle. I first saw you in Chicago in 2005. You, a harmonium and a percussionist sitting on a square drum (cajon). Fast forward 5 years and here we are again. Cool. I know your illness was very serious--as serious as things can get. I am just overwhelmed by your strength and generosity, and your sharing it with us. Despite not feeling well, you were wonderful. I spoke with a woman afterward and we both felt light and 'enlightened.' And we both just wanted to hang out with you regardless of what you were doing. Y'know, that says a lot about a person--how they can be open and kind while enduring pain/illness. I've so missed your energy. I needed that. I needed that to remind me the beauty of this path (I admit, I sometimes forget). You have helped me when I needed it; on a very deep and personal level. Peace be with you. Be gentle with yourself, Lynn 7/20/10 7:26 PM

Lynn, How kind of you to send this email!  Its message goes into my heart as a healing salve. The fever that night was pretty awful but it passed eventually. A year ago when I was near death, the higher center which connects to higher energy in me was still wide open.  I was like a light bulb with no body.  And so I know for sure that even when my body is not well, the energy is still there and capable of coming through. I spoke with someone who had a near death experience and she said it took 2 years to fully recover. It’s all good, there were important lessons for me there. The music is the thread that keeps me going.  And it has ALWays kept me going,... It was a beautiful night chanting with everyone. Thank you for sending your healing vibration my way. Jai, In service, wah 7/21/10 9:46PM

Hello Wah!  It was so wonderful to see you and hear your amazing voice this past weekend (Boston Chant & Yoga Fest). It does my soul wonders.......Chanting with you was a perfect way to end the day. 7/1/10 3:10 PM

Hi Wah! It was absolutely amazing seeing you in Boston on Saturday (Boston Chant & Yoga Festival/ Andover, MA). You looked lovely and were magnificent, soundcheck and all. You really should have heard what people said about you in the restroom after the show. If you ever had any self-doubt or insecurity issues, I highly recommend your spending sometime in the restroom after your show. (-; Thank you for a wonderful kirtan. I do not want to complain but your set was too short (or at least it felt short). Can’t wait to see you at Bhakti Fest. (-;  A Le 6/27/10 4:57 PM

Hi Gorgeous Wah! How are you doing? I really loved singing with you (at a private gathering in Malibu).  It felt very natural, like we were two souls meant to meet in this lifetime.  Not much said, but singing and praying means more than words....a deeper connection I feel. Love Lexi Loo x 4/16/10 7:31 AM

Lexi, I agree, prayerful singing is the best way to network with our fellow souls on this planet and bring forward the new energies we all need.  Pray, pray away! All the day, In your way, You just may Find a way To make this day Beautiful. keep the love strong, wah 4/19/10 9:05AM

Hello, beautiful Wah!, I am a relatively new fan of yours (this past year). We came to your show at Rumson Presbyterian, which we have officially dubbed "House of Wah!" Your performance was incredible. Thank you sooooo much for coming to Rumson. I sang with you the whole time, sometimes in harmony. I'm still lamenting not having had the chance to talk to you. I'm busy recording, writing a book, massaging, etc. We have so much in common. I hope we'll connect at some point in the future. Jai Durge, Yoji Wednesday, April 7, 2010 11:25 AM

Hey Wah! I really loved hearing you guys live in Boston (at Back Bay Yoga) !!! When I DJ for yoga classes I try to pick the highest frequency electronic music I can find for my sets, and I play your tracks more than any other. I totally resonate with what you were saying about "WOW! LOVE!" I think that, approaching life with that kind of energy is what it's all about :) When people step into that frequency, it's like they're making the commitment to meet the higher self half way, so it can pour in all the inspiration, wisdom, energy, love and life that it's trying to give us. My website is in the works at http://yogadjhyfi.com Let's do an event together! Much Love, Ian Sunday, March 14, 2010 10:21 PM

Hey Wah - Your vibe lit up Ravens Wing (Branford, CT) beyond anything I have ever seen. Thank you! Love is all ... Sal Wednesday, March 17, 2010 3:13 AM

Wah- Love your music, Girl! Come back soon to LA so we all can dig that cool spiritual groove; sing, chant, dance, Love. See ya soon! Arjuna. Wrightwood, CA Friday, February 26, 2010 9:34 AM

We weren't able to attend Bhajans with Wah! at JaiShantiYoga (Atlanta, GA) but that Saturday night we were sitting on our porch (on the other side of Candler Park) and gradually became aware of bhajans softly in the distance. We sat a few moments and listened intently to the wonderful sounds. It felt like a blessing for us, a blessing for the whole neighborhood. thank you. Don Wednesday, February 03, 2010 6:18 PM

Wah-Thank you for following your soul and offering such upliftment through your musical inspirations. We have been blessed to witness your music transition and connect over the recent years and have been particularly blessed to have experienced your kirtan several times here in Encinitas. Peace, Love and Infinite Blessings, Jai Laiden February 16, 2010 6:00 PM

Dearest Wah! I arrived at Joyti Mandir (Encinitas, CA) as you were doing sound check. As I was settling into my seat, I was overcome with an indescribable but extremely real sense of "coming home", like "ahhhh, this is where I am supposed to be" and "thank god for getting me here and letting me be here". You said it best that night, "One of the best gifts that you can give someone is to just hold space for them..." That's EXACTLY what you did for me (and countless others all through out the world) and it truly was the best gift I could ever ask for.  For the first time in ages, I actually felt like me. Bathed in your sound, embraced by your energy and moved to bliss by your chants, I was able to re-discover me, my love for kirtan and , the love i have for self. Jai Wah, Jai Wah, Jai Jai Wah! anita 2/9/10 6:36 PM

Anita, You are SO welcome!  It was great to see you!  My friend James says it’s like so much dust settling on our hearts as we go through worldly experiences, they slowly collect as stagnation in our systems.  Chanting blows it away leaving us reconnected with our own hearts. Jai ma, wah 2/9/10 11:51 AM

Hi, I'm the guy with the white mustache that sat near the pole (JaiShanti Yoga/Atlanta, GA).  I hope the fact that you remembered me Sunday didn't mean that my chanting was so bad as to be distracting!  I sure had fun AND felt uplifted Saturday and Sunday. Thanks for that. I feel as if coming to your concert on Saturday, Jan 30th and your workshop Jan 31st opened up several new doors, windows, vistas, thingies for me.  Saturday, I couldn't figure out why no one was applauding.  Sunday, I understood: when I got blissed out, I couldn't applaud either. I had experienced harmonics and breath control (like you taught in the workshop) one time before.  A teacher I was studying Taiji with had a set of South American whistles made from clays from all over the world. You had to blow through them strongly, but they allowed the air out very slowly. There were a bunch of them - four or six or I don't know, and they set up those harmonics so that between the breathing and the harmonics you were transported.  Chanting Ma with you brought on the same experience.  I didn't want to stop. Holding the Feet of the Teacher (meditation from the workshop) was incredible.  I haven't experienced having the teachers feet on my head since learning Babaji's Kriya Yoga during the first level initiation. Thank you for teaching me to pronounce Krishna correctly.  Now I understand why my Indian protégé at work would pronounce a word, I'd try, then she'd try again, then I'd try again, then she would give up.  I never got the sounds from the middle of the mouth.  I think it made a difference in the chanting, but what do I know.  She has returned to Chennai and I am sure she will be tickled when I email her.  She and I share a fondness for the Gayatri Mantra.  Of course now I have a whole new group of favorites to add to that.  Thanks. Peace and Blessings as you share Light across the country this year. Frank/Marietta, GA 2/1/10 6:51 AM
 
Frank, Thank you for this kind reflection of the workshop.  It was an incredible experience to be with everyone in this way, I was worried that we got “too stoned” and I should have watered it down a little bit.  My drummer made a joke about “no one can take 3 hours of Wah! That’s just too much for people, look at them, they’re all stoned, they’ll never be able to drive home!” Thank you for sharing your joy, and being so present at the workshop and concert.  I knew exactly where you sat both times, you are a shining light.  It is no coincidence that Babaji is on my altar and you are initiated into Kriya Yoga.  My best friend in LA is a Kriya initiate, and he gave me a fond and fine connection to Babaji. Actually, I was skeptical at first (this was several years ago) ...  I said, “how can this Babaji be alive and well on all planes?  What in the world does that mean”  and I said in my mind, “Babaji please show me that you exist, I would like to have a relationship with you.”  and that very night, someone showed up with the HUGE picture of him (laminated for travelling, just like all my other travel altar pictures) which now sits in the middle of my traveling altar.  A few more experiences like that and I was convinced of Babaji’s love and presence. Be well, my friend, With love, wah 2/2/10 9:00 PM

Wah, Martin Luther Kings birthday( I am a great admirer of his Dharma) and I was driving home listening to "The Best of Wah CD". I usually think of how melodic and pretty your voice is. On this day, my mind had been reflecting on how MLK would march down the streets and people threw bricks at him, yet he still marched on. Not for himself, but for all Americans, to be recognised and given the proper rights every human deserves.  He had inner strength, determination, and will power to go on, no matter what odds. I then was listening to the inflections of your voice and I think you have some of the same qualities. Your voice sends messages of strength to the listeners. I sensed your passion for the world, your caring for all people. It is as if you mentally amplified your spirit to the world. You give,hope, compassion, and happiness to all who hear your expression. I know it can not be easy for you to pour out your soul and heart to the world trying to make this a better place for all humans. Keep going girl, you are "One Tough Gal" and we appreciate all your tears, and hard work. These were just my reflections. Thanks for being the caring person that you are. The world is a better place because of your existence, all will benefit from your determination and spirit. At Amma's feet, Timothy 1/26/10 3:04 PM

Timothy, you are very kind, thank you for your sweet words.  I am an admirer of MLK and his work, my father supported him and brought me to peace gatherings and integration rallies when I was a child. We attended black Southern Baptist Church services in the South, with me in tow! That morality was instilled early in me and it runs deep. I am sure Amma and other forces of Great Light and Love are integrated into what I do now.  I am just trying to speak that truth –we all get hooked up to the Love eventually, I am trying to be part of the change as it is happening. All love, wah 1//27/10 7:05 PM
