Girish followed an unexpected path—a seeming detour to live as a monk in an ashram for five years that inadvertently nourished his musical artistry. Here, he studied Sanskrit as a means to understand the deeper meanings of ancient chants, which sparked a life-changing event that led him back to music—and to combining music with Sanskrit chants. www.girishmusic.com www.facebook.com/devi2000 ¸.•*John Simmons (Vocalo Radio, Style Matters) Celebrating 25 years of Soulful House Music and one of our favorite DJs in the community.
