BIMM: Books, Incense, Music and Merchandise
In order to support the world instruments that are available from Gandharva Loka in Christchurch, we offer a range of instrument specific tutorial books, DVDs and CDs, music manuscript books and music CDs.
As musicians and singers ourselves, Gandharva Loka's owners and staff have come to understand the role that spiritual inspiration can play in the development of musicial capacities and expression. We have all been students of the spiritual teacher and musician Sri Chinmoy for a number of years and have gained much from his example, encouragment and the regular practice of meditation. For the sake of inspiration and to encourage the musician that exists deep within every human heart, Gandharva Loka offers a range of incense plus a selection of Sri Chinmoy's books and music. We also stock a line of cards, bookmarks and incense decorated with Sri Chinmoy's poetry and artwork – and CDs of Sri Chinmoy's meditative music that have been produced by his students.
