Roger Klisch will join us Thursday for a presentation of his pilgrimage to the Valley of Flowers in north India and perform kirtan for us. Roger will be joined by Maja Radovanlija, who will play guitar for the kirtan and share some of her photos of the trip. Dave Urban will provide soft drumming for the kirtan. Roger, Maja, and Dave expect to do 3 kirtan chants mixed together with the presentation.
Roger Klisch lived at the Himalayan Institute for 6 weeks in 1980. Shortly after, in 1981, he was initiated into the tradition by Dr Arya (Swami Veda Bharati.) He did attend The Meditation Center frequently at that time. Roger has been meditating consistently since then, although he has broadened his practice. He also began playing kirtan with a group for public events about 7 years ago. Recently Roger joined the Himalayan Institute excursion to the Valley of Flowers and many other great spiritual places in northern India. He is very grateful for that experience and wants to share it with the TMC community.
