Ananda Rasa (the bliss of Divine rapture, the nectar of bliss) kirtan (call and response devotional chanting of Bhakti Yoga) is led by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist David Estes who is currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area. David grew up in India, has studied music since childhood and spent several years completely immersed in the practices of kirtan, Sanskrit text chanting, meditation and seva as a resident in daily ashram life.  Ananda Rasa kirtan is rooted in traditional Sanskrit chants sung to original raga melodies with explores the mystical and ecstatic depths of kirtan in call and response chanting with the audience.  Additional musical influences include Sufi Qawwali and Roots Reggae.  In 2013 the album Mulani - dub Kirtan was released which combined traditional style kirtan in Indian raga with roots reggae rhythms featuring guest kirtan vocalists and mixed by Michael Goldwasser of Easy Star Records (Dub Side of the Moon, Sgt Peppter Lonely Hearts dub Band and many more).  
Ananda Rasa band line up is David Estes - Lead Vocal & Dholak, Gregg Filler - Harmonium & Vocal, Greg Barnett - Bass and Damiana Carpizo - Vocal.  anandarasa.com
In addition to leading his kirtan band, David Estes also has his own brand of harmoniums, Ragamala,  which he has designed and has hand built by skilled craftsmen in India.  After many years of tuning, restoring and repairing harmoniums, David started his own company specializing in premium high quality harmoniums with great tone, solid craftsmanship, simple design and easy portability for travel.  Ragamala harmoniums will be available for purchase at the kirtan program.   ragamalapeti.com ​
