   About Baird Hersey & Prana
Prana is a Sanskrit word meaning: breath, vital energy, life force. It is also an overtone singing choir comprised of professional singers. PRANA, was formed by Baird Hersey in 2000 to breathe life into the music from his "Waking the Cobra" CD.

From 2005 to 2008 Prana performed regularly with Krishna Das. The evenings began with the group performing. Then KD joined them to sing several of his chants over Baird's a cappella arrangements for the voices of Prana. (SEE VIDEOS) This collaboration was the starting point for their new CD "Gathering In The Light", which features Krishna Das singing seven of his most beloved chants supported by Prana.

Baird and PRANA have performed at a Benefit for The Dalai Lama Foundation, and Omega Institute's "Ecstatic Chant Retreat". They have opened for Philip Glass and performed as a part of the "Gatherings", "Tibet House", Menla", "One Voice", "Woodstock Cycle" concerts series, "The CSO Tsunami Relief Benefit" and many local benefits as well Yoga studios an colleges across the country.

Prana has had the honor of giving a personal performance for Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and four pieces from "Waking the Cobra" were used as part of "Live! Light on Life" a performance for BKS Iyengar at City Center in New York City.

In 2005 Prana's "The Eternal Embrace" was featured in its entirety for the whole hour of "Hearts of Space", which airs on more than 230 NPR stations.

As individuals, the members of PRANA have recorded and performed with James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, The Talking Heads, Dr. John, Todd Rundgren, John Sebastian, Krishna Das, Steve Smith (Journey), Doane Perry (Jethro Tull), Graham Parker, Aine Minogue, Maria Muldaur, Barrie Maguire (the Wall flowers), Wah!, David Hykes, Every Mother's Son, Livingston Taylor, The Fugs, Orleans, Peter Yarrow, Tiny Tim, Rick Danko, Leon Russell, and Jorma Kaukonen.

Love is All Is~~Connect to Love
Now more than ever.

The Time Is NOW.
To be part of this Change,
Be prepared to decide how
much you are ready to offer
as an individual! It is time
for one to reconcile with the Self.

It is time to offer the Self
that which it yearns for.
Time!Offer the Self. Time!
Time to go With In.
Time to connect with the
Highest Part of who you are.

(Inspired with love by my Teacher and
My Beloved Living Master.

Greetings, my Friends! I've missed you all...been working on stuff! As I visualize and create my own medical clinic where people, including me, grow and heal, I am utilizing a body of thought called ABRAHAM (You can Google-- try ABRAHAM-HICKS). On the surface it may seem childish-- I thought so at first...I mean, visualizing new cars or jobs or something. But what if what we are visualizing is a living abundant beautiful Earth? This mode of thought is a means to create the world we wish to see. Love to hear your comments...


Love, Haru
