About Janaka:
Born in the Netherlands, Janaka began playing the guitar at age 12 and from ages 16 to 19 he toured student clubs with his rock band. A transforming moment came in his awakening as a musician when, at a Christmas celebration concert, Janaka performed George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord". The audience was enchanted. It was the first time people were stirred by Janaka's unique talent of singing directly to the Divine. Soon after, he became attracted to Indian philosophy and yoga. In 1979 he read "Autobiography Of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda, the same book that had inspired George Harrison. Looking into the eyes of the Master's picture, he felt a sense of recognition and a deep connection from the past. Over the years Janaka sang during numerous meditation and kirtan events and more recently started writing his own heartfelt songs of devotion and inspiration resulting in a series of three CD's dedicated to the Masters, Yogananda, Christ and Krishna.
All songs written and produced by Janaka. Garden of Dreams written by Janaka and Nils Tuxen. Lyrics in Peace from the poem by Paramahansa Yogananda in Metaphysical Meditations.
