Rangadevi Dasi was trained in the Bhakti Tradition in an ashram in North Carolina, USA. With her quick ear and life-long aptitude for singing, she soon learned many of the kirtans (chants) and bhajans (devotional hymns) that were part of daily life at the ashram. During those years of ashram life, she would regularly go out into the community with a little harmonium (portable organ) and a few friends and perform kirtan. In 2005 when she saw well-know kirtan artist, Dave Stringer, perform at a local yoga studio, she knew that is where her future in kirtan lay. The perfect blend of traditional chants and instruments like harmonium and mridanga, along with guitar, bass, and soulful, rocking arrangements, opened up a new world of possibilities. 

Rangadevi and her band, Samadhi, have been fixtures in the NC Kirtan scene for several years now. This is Rangadevi's first solo offering, featuring band mate Steve Cole on guitar and vocals.
