SUMMARY:We Won 10 awards at the San Francisco Press Club Awards
DESCRIPTION:Dear Reader\, \nLast week India Currents proved once again that with reader support\, we are an award winning team!\nWe won 10 awards for excellence in journalism on Dec 8 at the San Francisco Press Club Awards\, up against some pretty stiff competition!\nWith your support\, we continue to produce outstanding stories. Srishti Prabha was recognized for her coverage on the importance of desi grocery stores during the pandemic\, as were stories on Desi Voters by Jaya Padmanabhan\, Meera Kymal and Ritu Marwah. Winners included Avatans Kumar\, Ayanna Gandhi\, and Medha Sarkar\, for their Desi Voices commentaries. Our investigative series on transnational abandonment by Meera Kymal and Anjana Nagarajan-Butaney continues its winning streak. \nAs a nonprofit news organization\, we’re committed to telling stories about our community that might otherwise go untold. These awards confirm that the stories we cover and the people we represent really do matter!\nOur reader-funded newsroom can’t run without reader support. So\, a huge thank you readers for making so much possible.\nWe’re grateful that NewsMatch and local funders around the country believe in the power of community journalism. From now through the end of the year\, NewsMatch will DOUBLE EVERY DONATION you make.\nWe are more than halfway to our goal – we’ve raised $12\,400 from 86 friends of India Currents. \nVandana Kumar\nPublisher\nIndia Currents \n                                 Will You Help Us Get To A 100 Donors?

SUMMARY:Ravi Shankar - Chants of India : LISTEN | Envelop SF (7:30pm)
DESCRIPTION:Pioneering Indian musician Ravi Shankar’s musical reach and instrumental mastery has expanded countless ears and minds around the world. Essentially introducing classical Indian music to western audiences\, he had a profound influence upon the counterculture movement of the 1960’s\, and especially the Beatles. Chants of India was released in 1997 and was produced by his old friend\, and former Beatle\, George Harrison. This incredibly beautiful album consists of Vedic and other Hindu sacred prayers. Shankar considered Chants of India to be among the best works in his vast 60-year career. Recorded and produced with impeccable respect\, attention to detail\, and clarity\, these ancient sounds resonate as they have for thousands of years.

SUMMARY:Jai Uttal Performs Live Online 2/3\, at Freight & Salvage Berkeley 2/11
DESCRIPTION:Fairfax\, CA – Deeply revered Bay Area Kirtan musician Jai Uttal is releasing his 22nd album\, Dust & Tears February 3\, and will be celebrating the release with an online concert that day\, and with a full band live concert in Berkeley February 11. \n  \nJai will return to The Freight & Salvage for his annual Valentine’s Day Bhakti Concert\, Friday February 11 this time with an amazing band of top Bay Area players including\, Sandy Cressman on vocals and flute\, Prajna Vieira on vocals and harmonium\, Ben Leinbach on bass\, Jeff Cressman on trombone and percussion\, José Neto on guitar\, Jai’s 17-year-old son Ezra Uttal on keyboards\, and Deszon Claiborne on drums. \n  \nDust & Tears is one of the most introspective\, profoundly personal albums in the vast catalog of beloved\, world devotional musical innovator\, Jai Uttal. It is also one of his most boldly adventurous recordings—an inspired synthesis of divine poetry and song from across the ages and around the globe. \nAttendees will join Jai and his band for a first glimpse into the world of Dust & Tears. Alternating between gentle\, prayerful songs in English and ecstatic call and response Kirtans\, this will be a night to remember! \n  \nJai hosting a Valentine’s Day Concert is appropriate as sacred music is one of the main modalities of Bhakti Yoga\, the yoga of love and devotion. As noted in Yoga Journal\, “the Sanskrit word bhakti comes from the root bhaj\, which means “to adore or worship God.” Bhakti yoga has been called “love for love’s sake” and “union through love and devotion.” Bhakti yoga\, like any other form of yoga\, is a path to self-realization\, to having an experience of oneness with everything.” \n  \n“Bhakti is the yoga of a personal relationship with God\, At the heart of bhakti is surrender\,” says Uttal in the story. \n  \nSince its founding in 1968\, the Freight & Salvage has been deeply rooted in that aspect of Berkeley’s culture that embraced freedom\, justice\, acceptance\, collaboration\, and innovation. The Freight is mission-driven\, and has become a world-famous venue for traditional music – music that is rooted in and expressive of the great variety of regional\, ethnic\, and social cultures of peoples throughout the world. \n  \nJai notes\, “My Valentine’s Day gigs at the Freight & Salvage have been filled with so much spirit and good energy. The Freight is one of the most lovely and important venues in the Bay Area\, and I’m always so touched by the care and respect they have for the musicians who perform there. I look forward to a night of joy\, celebration and introspection.” \n  \nTickets for the Berkeley show are $15-$30\, and along with a great preview video of Dust & Tears are available at https://secure.thefreight.org/12070/jai-uttal. Tickets for the online event are $21 – $108 and are available at https://houseofbhakti.jaiuttal.com/dust-tears-online-album-release. \nFor more information on Jai Uttal\, please see https://www.jaiuttal.com/. For press needs please contact Susan von Seggern at susan@susanvonseggern.com or on 213-840-0077.
