This is more than a fundraiser — it’s an invitation to directly power a traveling temple of devotional music.

 

This fall (September–October) I’m hitting the road for a 67-day, 6,000-mile West Coast Kirtan tour with roughly 40 shows across the U.S. and Canada. Many will be by donation, and I’ll be promoting this very link at every show so the live audience can join the community that’s making it all possible.

 

In December, I’m heading to Hawaii for a special island tour — Maui, Oahu, Big Island, and Kauai — bringing call-and-response chanting and heart-opening music to new circles.

 

Every dollar you give goes straight into keeping this work alive: gas and van support (repairs, maintenance, tolls) for the massive West Coast drive, plus airfare and travel costs for the Hawaiian islands.

 

I handle every detail solo — booking, hauling my sound system, lights, and projector, driving, and pouring my heart out in song. That's a lot for just one guy... but I LOVE every single minute of it and feel so honored to serve in this way.

 

My van is my traveling temple — where I live, rest, prepare, and carry hundreds of glowing stars on the ceiling, each one placed there by someone who stayed after kirtan to sing, pray, laugh, cry, or simply sit in silence with me.

 

As I drive across the country, I literally travel under a sky of community light and prayer. That starry ceiling has become one of the most beautiful symbols of this path — a moving reminder that I never travel alone, and that this path is powered by real humans who believe in the healing power of devotional music.

 

I’ve seen it happen again and again: hearts softening, strangers becoming family, old wounds releasing through the simple magic of call-and-response chanting. This isn’t just music — it’s service. It’s my dharma. And it only continues because of people like you!

 

Whether it’s $5, $25, or more, you’re directly powering the miles, the flights, and the music that reaches new hearts. Every donation means the world to me!

 

I keep this fundraiser open throughout the entire West Coast tour so you can follow along, see the impact, and join the living community behind it.

 

If kirtan has ever moved you to tears, if you’ve ever placed a star on that ceiling, or if you simply want to help keep this light moving across the continent and to the islands, I’m deeply grateful. Thank you for being part of this.

 

Together we’re creating spaces of healing, connection, and a sweet return to the heart.

 

With love and gratitude,
