the magic of story and song
Gaura Vani is a story-teller and musician.
For two decades, he has toured globally and released multiple albums, sharing the stage with artists like Jai Uttal and Krishna Das. His collaborations include As Kindred Spirits, a fusion of East and West rooted in bhakti; and The Hanumen, a soulful quartet combining world percussion, chant, and harmony. He also performs with The Juggernauts, bringing high-energy kirtan to festival audiences.
Gaura’s music has echoed through the halls of major festivals like Lollapalooza, Floyd Fest, Bhakti Fest, Omega Ecstatic Chant, and Wanderlust, as well as temples, opera houses, yoga studios, and sacred spaces around the world. His discography includes Ten Million Moons, and Leaps and Bounds, each offering a rich landscape of devotion and rhythm.
Whether through intimate gatherings or global stages, Gaura Vani’s music is an invitation for the heart to sing.
Gaura Vani is also a father and a traveler. Circling the globe for the last twenty years he’s collected stories and songs to heal the heart, soothe the soul, and rock this crazy rock we call home.
Gaura’s life itself reads like a storybook. He was raised by monks in temples from the age of four, immersed in the magic of mantra and ritual as a part of daily life. In his teens he rebelled and went on to become an actor in Hollywood appearing in films with the likes of Michelle Pfifer, Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke and others.
Starting from his first rock and roll band in high school, he’s produced and recorded 10 albums and thousands of songs.
QUANTUM RETREAT ‘26 GovardHan Eco-Village, India
You are invited for the most exciting spiritual journey — Quantum '26 Retreat, India!
Imagine this! Strolling through the lush gardens and tranquil temples of the Govardhan Eco-Village — it’s like stepping into the very heart of my spiritual teacher, Radhanath Swami. I know, it sounds mystical right? That’s because it is.
For two glorious weeks, we’ll dive into the profound practices of the Bhakti tradition. We’ll journey to sacred spots hidden within the forest, each one pulsing with stories of Krishna — tales that don’t just sit in a book, but leap off the pages and straight into our hearts.
But wait, there’s more. We’ll be hanging out with some of my favorite spiritual rockstars, including my incredible mother, Rukmini, the ever-inspiring Radhanath Swami, plus other special soul-brothers and soul-sisters. Seriously, these are the folks you want to spend some time with and ultimately learn from.
And guess what? I want YOU to be there with me!
