Jai Uttal, dancing and Ganesha

Staying at the house of my sister in Amsterdam I emerge myself in her spiritual Indian music collection, especially the kirtans, the chanting of the names of several Hindu deities, such as Ganesha, Krishna and Hanuman. I love the rhythm of the tabla, the Sanskrit chanting which goes on and on. Jai Uttal's album Kirtan! is my favorite one at the moment. When you click on the title of this piece of text, you will land on his website, the section about his albums. There you will see how you can listen to a few of his songs. The first song 'Ganesha Sharanam' made me dance barefoot in the middle of the room, something which I haven't done in a long time.
My beloved Ganesha, the Hindu God of new beginnings and patron for writers.
