As an artist, musician and a yogi; Harnam is in the unique position of being able to offer more than just music as rewards to his backers. He is a highly accomplished painter and is offering original watercolor paintings for donations of $500 or more. A trip to Mexico is also a possibility for those wanting to attend the “Awakening your Creative Fire: Yoga and Art Retreat” along the Riviera Maya in January: http://www.spiritvoyage.com/creativefire

Sacred Chant Music has been popularized in the west by artists such as George Harrison, Krishna Das and Snatam Kaur. Harnam draws inspiration from the chants found in Kundalini Yoga, which is his spiritual practice. In this genre, artists draw upon connection to spirit and the power of ancient mantras to lead the audience into a state of bliss and connection with the divine. In contrast to most contemporary music, sacred chant artists seek to hold a space for the elevation of consciousness rather than offer a performance.
