Ananda Rasa is a San Francisco Bay Area based 'kirtan' (call and response Sanskrit devotional chanting) group let by vocalist and multi - instrumentalist David Estes. David grew up in India studying music and spent several years immersed in the practices of kirtan , meditation and seva (service) as a full time ashram resident. Ananda Rasa (the bliss of divine rapture) kirtan is rooted in traditional Sanskrit chants sung in call and response to original melodies in Indian light classical raga scales. Additional musical influences include roots reggae and sufi Qawwali music. Ananda Rasa has regular kirtan gigs on both the West and East Coasts and at the annual Shakti and Bhakti Fest kirtan festivals.
"The cosmic energy vibration that is invoked by chanting the divine Name is a beautiful and ecstatic mystical experience. This experience is Bhakti - deep devotional love for God, everyone and everything. It is the pure ecstatic joy of the heart - the nectar of bliss." David Estes - Ananda Rasa Kirtan
