Donna De Lory is a singer and songwriter whose voice and sound seem to transcend time and genre. Her music is a seamless blend of east and west, a beautiful hybrid of English lyrics and devotional Sanskrit mantras set to modern melodies. A longtime accompanying vocalist for Madonna (for two decades), Donna De Lory has also recorded with legendary artists including Santana, Julio Iglesias and Jewel. In concert, Donna performs a meditative blend of Sanskrit Chanting and Devotional Pop. She’s grounding, sublime and soulful with a voice that oscillates between passionate laments reminiscent of Janis Joplin and the crystal clarity of Enya.

Kundalini Meditation & Shakitpat Retreat at Rudramandir
In the center of the Heart-Space is Stillness -the place in which we can tune into the vibrating reality that is the source of all of life—the extraordinarily subtle pulsation of consciousness.
That dynamic pulsation, called Spanda in the Tantrik Tradition, arises from the power of Consciousness to express and know itself - an infinitesimal stirring from the heart of consciousness that is the field on which all of life arises.
In this intensive Swami Khecaranatha will help you to understand the spiritual insight, techniques and practices for contacting that heart-space - giving you access to a lifetime of effective spiritual practices.
