About

Chaetanya (Chay) Dasa

Bard, Builder, & Bodymind Awareness Advocate

Raised in a Canadian Bhakti Yoga community, Chay first connected with singing through devotional chanting of kirtan and bhajans. Rooted in this heartfelt singing style but having little inclination for the linguistic study of foreign hymns, Chay began writing and singing self-soothing, melodic affirmation songs in English.  

Tuning in to his Celtic ancestry Chay pursues the path of a Bard and honours the precious paradoxical intricacies of the natural environment so intertwined with our human experiences.  Engaging heart, mind and etheric influences, he responds to inspiration and composes stirringly sincere songs and stories of cultural fusion on the quest for harmonious collective consciousness.

Chay also engages in woodcrafting, building, wild foraging, food preservation and practical studies in the healing arts.  Endlessly fascinated by the interconnected workings of body, mind and emotions Chay gathers knowledge, practices, tools and instruments that support his yearning to serve the radical transformation of human experience in soulful, grounded, natural ways.

Album

Support the recording project?

With over 25 years of song writing I have enough songs for at least FIVE ALBUMS! 

I just need support to get these songs recorded.  I've tried doing it myself many times but it doesn't work out.  I can't seem to sing wholehearted when my mind is distracted by the technical requirements.  

So I am READY to RECEIVE HELP and turn to skilled producers for proper recording sessions.  In order to compensate these experienced individuals I am seeking some financial contributions.  

If you want to support this cause please do so via the yellow DONATE button below which will link to Paypal and has an easy option for monthly contributions as well.  Every little bit will generate progress towards getting songs recorded so they can easily be shared.

In gratitude for your contributions, I look forward to gifting you an album as soon as it's released.

Affirmations

When I hear Chae sing the first part of my body I feel it in is my heart. I feel alive and in a state of grace. Not only is his singing amazing but be ready to be at the edge of your seat as he lures and captivates you in with his story telling in between songs.

Experiencing Chae’s music has drawn me right to the edge of the present moment, the edge of what is emerging, now! The rhythms of his songs awaken the feeling centers in my body, and the words reorient me back to the ever unfolding truth of what is real and here in each moment. I'm so grateful for the light that Chay has managed to allow to come through him, and to experience my own journey of vibrational presence through his receptivity.

Chae’s music is heart-centred and delivered with a rich, deep honey-like voice. He is also a gifted storyteller and weaves that magic into his performances, making the experience of an evening with him engaging, entertaining and heart warming.
