Vasudev was given his name by the Indian guru Swami Shyam in 1990. Since then, he has been gathering people in sacred circles to chant, dance, meditate and sing in praise of life. His repertoire includes traditional bhajans, devotional songs, along with his original melodies and reggae hits. His catalogue of music has been discovered by millions of listeners around the world. Vasudev started meditating in 1987 at the age of 17. The following year he met his teacher Swami Shyam. After finishing high school, he went to the ashram in the Himalayas to study with him. From 1998 onward he has been greatly influenced by Vigdis Garbarek, a Norwegian housewife and wise woman. In 2002 he connected with an Osho inspired community and retreat centre in Sweden, Ängsbacka. Vasudev also studied with Ramesh Balsekar in Mumbai and is inspired by many teachers including Alan Watts, Eckart Tolle and Nisargadatta Maharaj. From 2006 he sat in circle with Chandra Lacombe. "I feel very grateful to all my teachers as I walk my own path." Vasudev grew up in Oslo, Norway, but have since made the world his home – especially, India, Sweden, Brazil and Bali, Indonesia. He shares kirtan (bhajans) – sacred song circles - wherever he goes. Since 2005, Vasudev has also been playing bhakti roots reggae with his project Super Deluxe with millions of fans in India.
