Opening Swara Meditation by Swami Dayasagar



Madhava is based in Switzerland, and travels extensively through Europe and the US enlivening audiences with the power of devotional kirtan. He fuses his Mauritian roots with the influences of India to produce a unique style of kirtan, but one in which the main ingredient is the heartfelt bhakti.

With a tuft of matted dreadlocks, a host of piercings and tattoos, you may expect Madhava to be a punk rocker — that is until the moment he closes his eyes, and begins to sing.
A native of Mauritius, Madhava, was given his first drum at the age of 5. As a young adult he lived for 7 years in an ashram in Vrindavan playing kirtan daily He played the mrdanga drum for hours on end, day after day, honing his rhythmic skill and sensitivity. Unbeknownst to him, through bootleg recordings he was also becoming an influential figure in the global kirtan scene, all while sitting on the dusty floor of a small temple in a village in India.

“Madhava’s kirtan is one of the most transcendent kirtan experiences I’ve ever had. He sings with so much heart and dedication that everyone who is present is effortlessly transported to another universe on waves of his chanting. His melodies are rich and inviting, his voice is honest and true.....”

Sri Prahlada was practically born into kirtan and has been singing and playing kirtan across the globe since childhood. He developed his initial fascination with kirtan attending school at ashrams in Australia and India. He won a recording contract with record giant EMI at age 12, releasing two singles and an album entitled “Through the Eyes of a Child”. He has performed kirtan in traditional, as well as rock and reggae styles before audiences of tens of thousands. Along with the likes of Krishna Das and Jai Uttal, he features in Steven Rosen’s book “The Yoga of Kirtan”. He often performs with the five-piece band featuring the hypnotic harmonium, rhythmic base and mridanga drum, melodic guitar, chiming karatals, and vocal harmonies. Sri Prahlada’s heart and soul permeates every moment of every kirtan he sings, transporting his audience to the realm of spiritual consciousness.
