Prema
Rupa – Form of Love – draws upon soulful
songs honoring the Divine Presence from the traditions of Hindi
kirtan, Sanskrit and Buddhist chanting, and Sufi qawwali.
Prema Rupa does not perform, but rather facilitates the kirtan
chanting experience for yoga practitioners, devotees of the Divine,
and those who may want to learn chanting as sadhana - daily devotional
practice. The chant leaders render simple phrases, usually in
Sanskrit or Hindi, allowing equal measure for the "mirror
response" of the participants in the session. The purpose
of the kirtan is a shared experience of concentration in the joy
of sacred music.
Adam Burke, Forrest Redford Burke, Greg Davis, Debbie
Elman, John Hinton, and Debra Podjed are Prema Rupa.
Spanning three decades, they have among them the collective experience
of living, working, and praying in India; a proficiency in Hindi
and Sanskrit; chant leaders and musicians for Paramahansa Yogananda’s
Self-Realization Fellowship; practitioners of Sacred Circle Dancing,
Sufi Dances of Universal Peace, and Sacred Tibetan Buddhist Dances;
students of sitar, vocal and tabla from the Ali Akbar College
of Music and other Indian masters. The instruments that accompany
the Prema Rupa musicians include harmonium, sitar, tamboura, guitar,
tabla, cymbals and bells, frame drum, and Tibetan bowls.

Divine and the Tao can occur in the most simple of ways or the most

Crawley and Sumr Krueger are both certified
Kundalini Yoga instructors and partners in “Why Not Yoga”
offering individual and group classes throughout the Phoenix metropolitan
area. Lauren has experienced several kinds of yoga with her first
experience of Kundalini Yoga in the early 90s. She found that with
the integration of the body, mind, spirit and breathe her health
greatly improved, her mind chatter was reduced and it helped fine
tune every aspect of her life and soul. Sumr became interested in
Kundalini yoga in the 80s and has experienced yoga for over 20 years.
She found that the Kundalini yoga covered all aspects of what she
desired for her body, mind and spirit! On Saturday and Sunday mornings

SHINE FOR KUNDALINI YOGA” and invite you to experience
the gift of Kundalini Yoga to fill your spirit through breathing,
postures, chanting and meditation to allow your Being to go deeper.
