K. V. Desikachar and his two students\/children, Mekhala and Kausthub, are traveling through the United States from India on a six-concert Vedic chanting tour. On Tuesday, the trio led a crowd of more than 60 in the ancient art of chanting at the Yamaha Concert Hall inside Hale Piano in Coral Gables. &#8221;You cannot recite based on memory,&#8221; Desikachar said. &#8220;You have to recite exactly by the fact that you&#8217;re present here now.&#8221; Kausthub Desikachar said that they had been planning the Vedic Chanting tour since 9\/11. &#8221;We&#8217;ve been trying to do something to offer to people and to ourselves,&#8221; he said. The sun and rainbow, which appeared this morning, were the first two things honored during the chants. Attendee Danielle Goodman said she had read one of Desikachar&#8217;s books, and when she found out he&#8217;d be in Miami, she thought it was &#8220;pretty extraordinary.&#8221; &#8221;I had to jump at the chance of hearing him and seeing him,&#8221; she said. After demonstrating a chant, Desikachar asked the audience to join in and recite after him. &#8221;That was good,&#8221; he told Mekhala and Kausthub of the chants they led. &#8220;Very good.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GO TO SOURCE MIAMI, FLORIDA, May 30, 2002: World renowned Yoga master T.
