This practice benefits not only ourselves, but benefits all sentient beings and brings more peace into the world.

Shivadam leads kirtan and zikr, combining decades of music, spiritual practice and travels into his leadership style. He is proficient in reading, writing, and speaking Hindi and Sanskrit, is a visual artist, likes to write and to repair musical instruments.
Being asked about the role that the Dances of Universal Peace has played in his life, Shivadam responds, "Discovering the Dances and Sufism (around 1996), I felt I had found both a path of practice and an opportunity to serve others. I feel so grateful that the skills I acquired, during my time as a Dance leader and mentor, can be brought into service with the beautiful work of the Dances of Universal Peace.
