The are a group of musicians, singers and songwriters from Ananda Ashrama in La Crescenta, California. The actual members and number of musicians may vary from time to time but the Gandharvas came into being when the Jizo Peace Center asked one of the musicians to organize and lead the music for the First Annual Veteran's Day Peace Chant at the Yoga Kingdom Sanctuary in Pasadena.

Since this was not officially an Ananda Ashrama Choir function we chose a name to represent our little peace band. "Gandharvas" is a Sanskrit word that means celestial singers, not something we claim to be but something we aspire to.

We have since released a CD, "Peace Chant" which is a live recording of this performance, and had the honor to play for Peace Day 2006 at the Philosophical Research Society in Los Feliz, CA., which was also sponsored by the Jizo Peace Center.

The Gandharvas will accept engagements and record cd's as they are inspiried to, for the purpose of promoting peace, healing, and higher consciousness on our beautiful planet.
