The Happiness & Full-Bliss Chanting Band is a
nondenominational group of
musicians whose goal is to unite East and West through the vibrational
healing process of devotional music and chanting. They have performed at
churches, temples, ashrams, special retreats and yoga centers throughout the
United States since 1992. Using both traditional and nontraditional Eastern
Indian instruments - harmonium, synthesizer, jimbe, dholak, kartals, and
other percussive instruments - the Bliss Band through this tradition of
Bhakti Yogi (love of God) provides a "chanting experience" encourages all
those who chant with them to participate in the form manifested by spirit -
through joyful singing, ecstatic dancing or meditative listening.
The Happiness & Full-Bliss Chanting Band has produced
seven cassette tapes
(three are available on CD) containing original melodies with chants to
Radha, Krishna, Govinda, Rama, Narayana, Durga, Kali, Vasudeva, Vittala,
Panduranga, Shiva, Shakti, Ganesha, Buddha, Allah, Christ, to name a few.
All tapes/CDs contain the words to every chant along with their English
translation. If you are interested in purchasing these "high Shakti" tapes,
