The Ecstatic Dance Community of SLC offers our deepest condolences to the Krishna Temple communities of Salt Lake City and Spanish Fork on the loss of their incredible founder, leader, and visionary, Caru Das. Caru was a generous supporter of Ecstatic Dance in SLC, helping our community grow and flourish by welcoming us into the temple space. While he did not personally participate in the dances, he deeply appreciated the life, joy, and vibrant energy they brought into the temple. We were also blessed to spend time with him and his beloved wife and spiritual companion, Vaibhavī, in Hawaii - sharing in the beauty of waterfalls and lush green landscapes together. These memories are deeply cherished. Caru embodied a life of dedicated spiritual service and consistently showed up with a warm smile, creative spirit, and an open heart. While we feel the sadness of no longer meeting him in his physical form, we trust that his spirit is free and continues to inspire from the beyond. Tonight’s dance will be dedicated to his memory and to the Krishna community he so lovingly nurtured. With love and heartfelt sympathy, The Ecstatic Dance Community of SLC

AAZAV Aazav: (aah-z-aah-v) a state of ecstatic spiritual dignity obtained through dance, drumming, and trance practices. Aazav emerges from the fusion of Kai Altair and Haj i Ji’s passion for music that animates both body and soul. Drawing from ancestral vocal traditions and deep woods sensibilities, their sound is a convergence of medicine melodies and global organica—a call to the central fire of remembered futures. Their debut album, “The Looking Stone,” garnered support with stellar remixes from collaborators like David Starfire, Govinda, Kaminanda, Drumspyder, and Living Light. Aazav’s DJ and live sets weave the primal with the modern mythic—where deep bass meets luminous vocals and atmospheric journeys. Whether opening portals at sunrise dances or invoking the night’s descent into the wild freedom of embodied ritual, their sets are crafted to awaken collective rhythm and remembrance.
