Day 3 : Gabriella Edwina "Gaiea" : Simplicity and Tapas in Bhakti Yoga



“When I sit down to sing and connect to it I am completely lost to the song, I am no longer even 'alive', but am lost, merged, disappeared, given up to the song, to the sound, each and every syllable part of each and every cell of my body.”, says Gabriella. Her interview is FULLY from her heart.

Growing up in the UK, Gabriella was introduced to Sanskrit as a child. Her work learning and singing Sanskrit is her life's calling. She says   “I am and always have been prepared to sacrifice everything so that I can carry on giving the gift of my heart in song”. You can see that people can feel her Bhakti. Her YouTube Channel is very popular with over 126K subscribers and her songs have millions of views.
