Chanting has been an incredibly powerful practice in our lives. When we chant the name of a deity, we are calling in the energy that that deity represents. The chanting of these sacred names connects us to remembrance (smaranam) - a remembrance of who we really are and who we want to be in the world. These deities are not separate from us - they are all just aspects of each of us. Still, it's not easy to live from a place of love, generosity, acceptance, truth, honesty, balance, courage, and grace at all times. So we want to honor the people who we feel are actively embodying these qualities and who are bringing hopeful and positive change to our world - to inspire ourselves and others to take the fruits of our spiritual practice out of the studio/sangha and out into the world to make positive change!

Every couple of weeks starting in March (through social media: Instagram, Twitter & Facebook) we will present a new Deity and the people who we believe are embodying this God/Goddess’ energy and using it to make the world a better place. Here’s how you can be involved:
 

• Connect with us on Facebook ("like" our fan page & "friend" KSR Chants) or Twitter (follow us on Twitter)

• Do your own research and share what you know

• Use this as an opportunity to learn more about different deities and how they can support your spiritual practice and life

• Join in the conversation by adding your own “modern day deities” and telling the world about the amazing work they are doing

• Talk to your friends and family about this project and the actions you personally want to take - become a modern day deity yourself!

We hope this will be a way to initiate conversation, to bring god/spirit more fully into our everyday lives, and to inspire each other to take more direct action in creating the world that we want!
