Dear All,

Happy Holidays!  As you're gathering around your fireplaces this winter, perhaps you'll have time to gather around the YouTube hearth   Here are three videos featuring my work.  I hope you enjoy them.

1.  Kearny Street Workshop Holiday Party - Four poems in 6 minutes, from a commemoration of Nelson Mandela to a response to Lady Gaga and Katy Perry

2.  Collecting and Recollecting:  9 minutes on the neuroscience, psychology and poetry of collecting, from an Asian Art Museum event last July.  Appropriate for the holiday season!

3.  Meditation:  Lotus:Life:Cambodia - a 10 minute experimental film with images of a lotus field in South Korea and the Cambodian genocide, with the intent to provide a healing meditation.

Enjoy!  If you feel so inclined, leave a comment on the YouTube page or on my website, here.

In other news, I have gotten some interest in the literary world for my latest endeavor, Facebuddha:  Transcendence in the Age of Social Networks.  I hope to have news to you in the New Year.

Best,

Ravi Chandra, M.D.
