Vets still a priority for BanyanFor many months we have been looking for ways to support veterans and military personnel currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. If you have any connections in the US Department of Defense or if you are aware of potential donors to fund this work, let us know. We are also looking for Liscensed Massage Therapists to help with this project. 
Other Great CDS
This is old news to many of you but new news to others....Last year we joined forces with Inner Splendor Media to create three Audio CDs to support your meditation practice. We call the CDs Music for Deep Meditation. Sometimes it is helpful to have a constant, resonant sound in your meditation environment. For this purpose we recorded the Tamboura CD. The tamboura is an Indian stringed instrument known for its hypnotic drone. The Tamboura CD is the sound of one tamboura droning for over an hour. Many of you that have studied with Harshada have experienced the power of the Tibetan Singing Bowl. Our Tibetan Singing Bowl CD features two 30 minute meditation tracks. The first is the sound of a low antique bowl gonging at regular intervals. The second track features sporadic gonging and the constant humming sound the bowl being played in the traditional manner. For meditation- there is nothing like it! 
Our other CD is bound to be huge hit in the yoga world. Our Chanting Om CD captures the sound of an ensemble of meditators and yoga practitioners singing Om. Om or Aum is a primordial syllable known for its centering and expansive power. This CD also has two tracks: one track with the ensemble “OmIng” together in a 35 minute river of sound. The second track captures the ensemble improvising adding harmonies creating a melodic poetic quality. You hear samples and purchase the Cd's from Inner Splendor's new ecommerce site Apsari.com. We hope you enjoy the recordings. (And buy many of them!) You can also get the recordings on
