As part of the Omega Institute’s Ecstatic Chant weekend 2014, four sessions were organized in the Ram Dass Library, in which Shyamdas’s friends and kirtan colleagues spoke of their experiences with him.

In the first session, world class ecstatic chant artists Deva Premal and Miten joined Shyamdas’s sister Susan Ryan to share stories of their first memories of Shyamdas, traveling with him in India, meeting his guru and more. An audience member also shares her experience of falling in love with Shyamdas’s deep devotion and humor.
