Parvati in Punjabi

In an interview that was recently aired on Punjabi TV, Parvati shares some thoughts about Amma, Yoga in the Nightclub and her North Pole trek. She also reminds Indian youth not to abandon their culture. What's next up for this awesome, amazing friend of Patria? Perhaps Parvati will do an interview in Patrienish? (It's sort of like a cross between Latin and Sanskrit!)

Parvati's North Pole Journey, Part 1


Parvati Devi: North Pole Journey, Part 1: The Night Before We Le...:

How do you pack for a journey you have never taken, to a landscape that is dangerous, inhospitable and very, very cold? Parvati shares her experiences packing and preparing for her epic journey to the North Magnetic Pole. Please click on the above link and read it!

And what does this have to do with Patria, you ask? Is Parvati an elected member of the 49th Congress? No, she wasn't on any Precinct's ballot or party list last April 17th. But Parvati and her friends (Rishi, Sunanda, Pranada, etc., aka the "Earth Team") are very dear friends of Patria. As an intuitive healer, Parvati has developed a very evolved concept of an "Inner Realm" though, of course, she doesn't call it Patria.

Parvati Treks To The North Pole: It's a Family Affair

An air of excitement was felt in Resolute on the 27th Sept 2010. After Parvati returned from the North Pole she gave a concert at the Inn's North in Resolute.

Signs were posted, radio was promoting Parvati's concert in Inuktitut and people were buzzing with anticipation. It was the first ever concert performed there. Parvati performed some songs and played for the first time ever, to a live audience, her new song "Hear This Prayer", which she gave to the Earth at the North Pole. Amy and her friends performed Inuit traditional Throat Singing. Sam and Louisa played the Inuit drum.

In the clip below, Parvati and her northern family have some fun together to the tune of the "I AM" song (Day one life is fun, day two I am new...) from Yoga in the Nightclub. This song received a lot of airplay in Patria, particularly last June during the World Cup and the countdown to Inauguration Day.

Parvati & company safely home from North Pole

Parvati Devi: Returned from the North Pole

Parvati, Rishi and Sunanda (along with fashion designer Satish Sikha, who made the journey as far north as Resolute, Nunavut) have returned from their journey to the North Magenetic Pole, with quite a story to tell.

Parvati notes: "The message we carry back from everyone we met was unanimously the same: please tell the South that the ice is melting, the animals are fewer and we are suffering. I am left with a heavy heart, an ache in my soul seeing even more clearly and palpably the effect of our pollution and our cultural disconnect from the Earth. I feel charged with an even stronger connection to an immense, universal force that can help each one of us wake up, so that we may join together as one Earth family and create positive environmental change to benefit all."
