About Srinivas Reddy

Srinivas began his musical training as a guitarist and composer.  At an early age he performed and recorded with several jazz and rock bands throughout the New England area.  In 1998 he graduated from Brown University with a BA in South Asian Studies and completed his senior project entitled NaadaSat, a multi-instrumental ensemble piece that reflected his growing interest in South Asian philosophy and music.

Upon moving to San Francisco in 1998 Srinivas had a life-changing experience when he met his guru and mentor Sri Partha Chatterjee, a direct disciple of the late sitar maestro Pandit Nikhil Banerjee.  Since then Srinivas has dedicated himself to Indian classical music and rigorously trained with his teacher in the traditional guru-shishya style.  Under the strict guidance of his guru he continues to imbibe and practice the subtleties of the Hindustani musical tradition.

Srinivas is a professional concert sitarist and has given numerous recitals in the US and India.  He has three albums to his credit: GITA (1999), Sitar & Tabla (2001) and Hemant & Jog (2008).  Srinivas is also an experienced teacher and educator.  His continued interest in Indian literature and culture inspired him to complete an MA in South Asian Studies from UC Berkeley where he taught several courses on South Asian literature and music.

After nine years of study and performance in the San Francisco Bay Area, Srinivas has recently relocated to New England where he plans to establish a foundation for South Asian music and literature.  He is currently a visiting lecturer in the Center for Indic Studies at UMass Dartmouth.  Srinivas is also working on a translation of the Telugu epic Amuktamalyada for Penguin Books.

There is no fee for this event but donations are highly encouraged.  All proceeds will go directly to the musicians.

It has been said that it is easier to get people to change their religion that to change their diet. If you have been trying to improve yours, you will find this talk very helpful. Confronted with confusing or contradictory claims in the media and advertising, we may have tried different approaches. Yet, year after year, many of us remain tired, hungry, overweight and craving all the wrong foods. This class will present a great deal of new and practical ways to finally succeed in eating good food today. Most people are amazed at how much easier it can be. Class is appropriate for vegetarians or meat eaters.

Join Denise Baxter, Certified Health Coach, for this workshop. She works in Foster, and has a private practice, counseling clients on how to reach their goals for health, weight loss and stress reduction. Additionally, she presents workshops and lectures on living a healthy, balanced life.

Monday, September 20, 2010 – 7:00-8:30pm. This is a free informational seminar and will kick off our new Monday Night Special’s!

It is easy to take a stand in the face of  human suffering as we did when the forces of nature hit Haiti. But it is harder when the suffering and the masses of those who are suffering have no voice. The oil spill in the gulf is so much more then a set back to tourism, restricted access to beaches, a punch to the fishing industry.  This crisis is an ecological disaster that has the potential to wipe out species of creatures, coral reefs, and significantly impact the infrastructure of the planet and the way we live

There are 5 species of sea turtles that live in the gulf, one of which only nests there and no where else in the world. Two others are on the endangered or threatened species lists.  The whales found in the area are believed to be at risk due to the way they eat. They are at risk of ingesting large amounts of oil.  Concerns for the 9 species of dolphins living in the area include the risk of eating contaminated fish or starvation due to lack of fish. And, we have all seen the sad images of oil laden birds.  Can you imagine being them and experiencing the hopelessness that they feel as they are held captive in a slick coat of death? It is their homes, the marshlands, barrier reefs and beaches that we see, in the media, being impacted by the spill.

What we don’t see is what is happening beneath the surface of the ocean, to the coral reefs and deep sea inhabitants. Coral reefs are living organisms and they are home to many species of fish and sea animals. These reefs will be suffocated as microbes deep in the sea continue to eat the plumes of oil and deplete the oxygen needed by the coral. As the coral die off so will the beautiful spectrum of creatures dependent on it. The reverberation to the entire food chain is unthinkable but we must think about it, we must talk about it and we must take action.

It is one thing to cry over spilled milk and another to to take steps to assure that it never happens again. This is where we can really make a difference.  A bit of simple activism can make a big impact especially if you encourage others to join you. Let your local representatives know that this event has proven that off shore drilling is not safe and should not be supported. Learn about alternative energy options and support policy that encourages research into and the use of safe, clean energy sources. Participate in or hold organized gatherings to share and learn how you can help at the local, national and global level.  Be mindful of what you buy, avoid petroleum based products, drive only when necessary, consider a hybrid the next time you purchase a car.  The greatest activism is to live as an example of what you believe is right. In the words of Mohandas Gandhi – “be the change you wish to see in the world!”
