ABOUT ASHOK NALAMALAPU

"Wow. Beautiful production in full Indian style. Sweet chants and sweeter feelings."

“Hi dear Ashok. That’s just great. I’m jealous of your tracks from India! What a great idea that was to record backing tracks with great Indian musicians. And your voice sounds sweet and pure (like your heart!). "

"Ashoka's souring voice and kirtan melodies uplift the heart into a space of transformation and joy."

"Ashoka offered a beautiful Kirtan for the Heartspace Community in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. He took us on a true sonic journey, that left me feeling energized, yet balanced with a deep grounding into stillness within."

"The sweet sounds of the divine are still ringing in my ears days later! You have a wonderful gift of allowing spirit to shine through you!”

"You really sing from your heart and it's palpable. I also was very happy that you were able to offer call and response through your CD--it really helped us at home. "

"Thank you so much Ashok for your generous offering to us all.  It was many things…fun, beautiful, enlivening!"

That was very soothing to me, Ashoka.

You lead and sing the English versions of the chants perfectly. The violinist plays wonderfully. Sandra sings wonderfully. Overall, I just really loved the Kirtan and I hope you do it again soon. Thank you for the gift of creating Kirtan events. They are wonderful. Jai Guru! “
