The quality of inner reflection and awakening that these ancient Sanskrit devotional poems offer inspires love and compassion towards oneself and for all beings. These chants invite everyone to participate. It is with the utmost appreciation and respect that I put new music and some English to these words, some of which have been sung for thousands of years.

Passage
Kirtan Music
Ken Bernstein; Guitar, vocals
Gayan Gregory Long; percussion
Robert Rand; bass
Passage is an album of mostly Sanskrit devotional music with a little English added.
It has been a long process through many life challenges and changes. We left our home of 28 years and moved to start a new life in Santa Fe, NM. This dream was short lived as my dear wife Ria passed away shortly after arriving in NM. So this album is dedicated to her. Without her love and support this album would not have been possible.
There is another person pivotal to the making of the album and without her support it would not have been conceived. This is my dear friend and soul sister Laurie (Griya) Lazar.

About the Album
We went into Mighty Fine Studios one afternoon and free played for
about 3 hours. We edited about 50 minutes out of that session into
what you hear on this album. The BoyGirl Band plays the moment into sound and textures, never preplanned, always improvised and always a surprise. The influences of jazz, classical, rock and blues can be heard at times and at other times atmospheric and other worldly sounds emerge from the collective imagination of the muse.
