Fakhira Najib from Pakistand runs a radio program called Broadclass-Listen to Learn that goes out to rural classrooms all over Pakistan and she provides the first hour of content every day, much along the Sufi lines of Loving Kindness and Compassion. She is reaching more than 200,000 girls and boys every day. In this video the children learned the Peace Pledge in both English and Urdu.

Marla Hunt Hanson is the Founder and Director of The Fairfax Street Choir and recalls the early formation of the choir in 1972. Marla would play the old upright piano at the newly opened Sleeping Lady Café in Fairfax, California and people would gather around and sing. Pretty soon some of the songs actually sounded good and the choir was formed. Choir members still reunite today. Photography and editing by David Ludwig and video by Mariposa de Los Angeles (Rainbow Festival of Light,1976). This is a revision video and the original on YouTube had 1.5K views. The first half is edited with still photos while the second half is edited with the video performance at the Rainbow Festival of Light on Mount Tamalpais, Marin County.

Beloved Family, 

In 1972 Vasheest Davenport, a tenor in our Sufi Choir and like myself, a direct disciple of Murshid Samuel Lewis, attended a concert at Project Artaud in San Francisco of a Master North Indian Classical Vocalist named Pandit Pran Nath. 

Vasheest came back to the home we all lived in, the Garden of Allah, and swooned about the mastery and subtlety of the singer. Within a matter of days he had arranged for Pandit Pran Nath to come to the Garden of Allah and give a Raga Concert for our Sufi Choir. 

It was at that concert at the Garden of Allah that I connected deeply with Pandit Pran Nath and he became my Music Guru and guided me in Raga Singing and Life through his passing June 13, 1996 and to this day. 

Our Morning Raga Concert on April 20, 2019 - 10:45AM at the same Garden of Allah is to honor Guruji and commemorate that lucky day. 

Accompanying Pir Shadba are: 

Joss Jaffe - Tabla Gitanjali 

Lori Rivera - Tamboura Saraswati 

Barbara Framm - Tamboura 

Deborah Thomson - Swarmandal
