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.

SUMMARY:TAMIL YOGINIS: GODDESSES OF MULTIPLICITY
DESCRIPTION:Among the sculptures visitors encounter in the Detroit Institute of Arts’ gallery of Indian and Southeast Asian art is a life-sized yogini goddess from southern India\, carved from stone sometime between the late ninth and mid-tenth century. Embodying both attractive and threatening characteristics\, she projects an unmistakable power. In the temple for which she was made\, which no longer survives\, this power would have been amplified by potentially dozens of other such goddesses enshrined alongside her\, many of which are now housed in museums throughout North America\, Europe\, and India. This presentation will explore the changing contexts to which the DIA yogini and her companions have belonged\, from the temple that once enshrined them\, to multiple later shrines\, to the museums that house many of them today. \nWe are excited to begin the new year with a presentation by Dr. Kasdorf of the Detroit Institute of Arts on the topic of Yoginis – female master practitioners of tantra and yoga\, as well as the sacred feminine force made incarnate\, as an aspect of Parvati\, and revered in the yogini temples of India. This presentation will focus on the latter aspect of Yoginis. \nLook forward to seeing you virtually at the event. \nWarm Wishes. \nJai Varadaraj \nChair SAAC@SDMA \nRegistration in advance is required for this event.

SUMMARY:Indian films playing at the Mostly British Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:A NIGHT OF KNOWING NOTHING\nWinner of the for Best Documentary at Cannes\, director Payal Kapadia creates an intimate look at social life at a Mumbai university through the way it intersects with India’s caste system. The film is skill- fully and artistically constructed through a series of letters of love and longing by a student to her estranged boyfriend – a separation forged by his family who deny them permission to see each other because she is below his caste. As such\, it addresses important issues such as Hindu nationalism\, the caste system and capitalism through the eyes of Indian college-educated youth.” \nNamed one of “The Best Genre Movies of 2022” by the New York Times. \nOne critic calls it “a testament to the inseparability of the country. \nIndia 2022 (99 minutes) \nBUY TICKETS

SUMMARY:Indian films playing at the Mostly British Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:ALL THAT BREATHES\nWinning top documentary this year\, both the Golden Eye Award at Cannes and the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance\, this film tells the remarkable story of two brothers intent on rescuing the meat-eating black kites that sail across the polluted skies of New Delhi. So much dirt and division scar New Dehli\, but co-exist with the breath-taking beauty of nature captured by Shaunak Sen’s film. Here the brothers treat the birds that literally fall from the sky\, injured and choked by smog – nearly 26\,000 injured kites to date….” When I let a bird go after healing it and it flies away\, I feel pure joy\,” says Nadeem\, the elder brother. Beautiful\, touching film. Shortlisted for an Academy Award. \nUK/India 2022 (97 minutes) \nThe Director of ALL THAT BREATHES\, Shaunak Sen will be attending the screening on February 16th at 5:00pm at the Vogue Theater. He will introduce the film and there will be a red carpet for photo-ops and short interview sound bites. \nBUY TICKETS

SUMMARY:On Healing the Trauma of Caste
DESCRIPTION:Caste is one of the oldest systems of exclusion in the world. It negatively impacts 1.9 billion people worldwide\, crippling their quality of life. With its roots in India\, the caste system ranks people into five castes that are based on spiritual purity and their deeds in past lives. For anyone born into a culture where caste is rampant\, it determines who and where they worship\, choices and advancement in education and career\, even personal relationships-in essence their entire lives. Brahmins\, who created this system in Hindu scripture\, are at the top of the caste system and have benefited from centuries of privilege\, access\, and power because of it. Dalits\, who sit at the bottom of this hierarchy\, are branded “untouchable” and sentenced to a violent system of caste apartheid with separate neighborhoods\, places of worship\, and schools. \nDalit American activist and author Thenmozhi Soundarajan\, has been working to end caste oppression around the world for decades. In her work\, she endeavors to help Dalit individuals and families heal through international solidarity with other oppressed people\, working together to dismantle caste apartheid. Thenmozhi’s work is a call to action to end caste apartheid\, grounded in Dalit feminist abolition and engaged Buddhism. \nJoin Thenmozhi Soundararajan for a powerful conversation on the ongoing trauma of the caste system and Dalit people’s fight against oppression. Sharing from her latest book\, The Trauma of Caste\, in which she examines caste from her feminist\, abolitionist\, and Dalit Buddhist perspective; tying Dalit oppression and the fight against that oppression to the ongoing liberation movements among Black\, Indigenous\, Latinx\, femme\, and Queer communities. \nPresented by CIIS Public Programs (California Institute of Integral Studies).
