  Well, my my. Here we have a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black!
People who spread hate and attack other people's religions and philosophies are "evil", not SGI, which is about world peace and enlightenment, the flowering of individual expression, equality and tolerance, appreciation for diversity and understanding the value of life itself. We're about taking responsibility for our circumstances and not blaming others. Apparently the fanatic above wants to heap blame on our Buddhist organization. As a Jew, I'm not a stranger to being made the scapegoat via religious discrimination. I'm just sorry that it has to rear its ugly head on my web site which is dedicated to peace & music. I pray that the tortured soul above finds peace in the new millennium. It's time to bury all of the axes. Perhaps he or she needs to listen to more music instead of foolish propaganda. Honestly, I wish there was some way we could leave all of the fanatical hate mongers back in the old millennium and bring only the kind and pure-hearted peace loving folks into this one. Happy New Year everyone!! (My advice to "Cult Watcher": Take 2 CDs and don't call anyone in the morning!)

  Wow! See how great the "net" can be when the people contributing are spiritual and intrinsically good? Now, even family reunions are happening! (Hi Heather! You have a great aunt, but you probably realize that by now.)

  I have always been enthralled by the music of Essra Mohawk, particularly Primordial Lovers.I lost touch with her music for thirty years, but her music remained with me. After all this time, here I am typing in her guestbook. Her greatest accomplishment to me personally, is that she has a place inside of me forever. All of her other accomplishments, as shown and heard on her websites, speak for themselves very well.

I can't wait until you make your way north to perform again. I'd offer to play the sax in your band but I'm not up to snuff just yet. Maybe I can sing backup instead. LOL! Take care. -----Chuck

  Hi Essra - wanted to be the first one here to wish you [early] a Very Happy Birthday!!! Hope you celebrate it in the biggest way - playing & singing. Can't wait to see you again. The Genghis Cohen gig was amazing. You've inspired me to take up the mandolin. Thank you for the beautiful music that's always playing in my head and in my heart. Talk to you soon, Peace & Love, Tom

  Essra,
as a child growing up in the 1970's, i heard your voice carried on the television airwaves as part of schoolhouse rock (sufferin' till sufferage is still my fave!). i had no idea that your music and art extended so far beyond that. I am glad to have found your site. Thanks for being a small, but extremely important part of my memories.

  I have always been a great fan of Essra Mohawk since first hearing Primordial Lover at a friends house in Germantown (1972?) Please help me find this album or tell me if it's re-released by another name? Essra Mohawk is still a shining star!

  "How deep is the ocean?"
Nowhere near as deep as my appreciation for Essra, one of the wisest and most wonderful souls I have ever known. Her music is more than just moving -- it's evolutionary, offering a much-needed glimmer of inspiration amid a sea of angst-ridden monotony. Keep up the amazing work, Essra, and always keep your feet planted firmly on the ground. On behalf of all your fans and friends, I wish you peace and love always.

  "Pocahontas" LP on eBay now--a British copy. This is the Elektra/Asylum LP from the early 70s, and--says me--her very best, and one of the best LPs by ANYONE EVER. Some British guy is selling it. Go have a look, fans! The URL is:

  Mike.....
The British edition of "Pocohontas" (as you so fittingly put it) is on "Mooncrest" Records. Apparently, Mooncrest had the UK distribution deal for that album, while Elektra/Asylum had the US rights. (The Mooncrest logo..... on the sticker which is on the center of the actual "record" sides..... is very, very cool.) Snap up that album, whoever does not have it. It is definitely in the top 2, along with "Primordial Lovers." Happy Independence Day, folks. -------Chuck

  July 5th.... a very significant day for me...
First, it's my mother's birthday. Second, it's the day (back in '96) when I received a beautiful letter from one Essra Mohawk, along with a fab signed photo. (This was WAY before I had EVER been online...and I had just "discovered" Essra's music one or two months prior, and I felt like I had found the Holy Grail.) Finally, on July 5, 1998, I got to see Essra perform in her hometown of Philadelphia, and it was a great show. Essra....since you are into the whole "numbers" thing, I figured that you'd appreciate this. Love ya. -----Chuck

  Essra, Do you have an insight as to why the 2000's seem to be starting off with all this illness and death?

  Since the beginning of the year i've lost 2 uncles, 2 good clients, and 2 out of 4 members of my immediate family have been diagnosed with long term chronic diseases..what is up with the year 2000?

8/4/2000 Essra Mohawk

http://www.rockersusa.com/EssraMohawk

  Almost 3000 years ago, a grieving mother whose child had just died, brought the small lifeless body to Shakyamuni Buddha, asking him to bring her child back to life. Shakyamuni instructed the woman to find a household where there had been no death and bring to him a mustard seed from that home. The woman went from household to household until finally she returned to the Buddha empty-handed. Nowhere could she find a family where they had not known death. She thanked Shakyamuni for she finally understood what he was teaching her. There is nowhere and no time that is free of death. Some must leave to make room for others being born or life would be unbearable on this planet. This is an eternal dance. Life then death then life again. The year 2000 has no monopoly on death. As we get older it is natural to see more of death. Remember, Mike,
death is not the end but a change and a time for renewal. Love and Light, Essra

  Essra - Ten minutes ago I heard of you for the first time, due to an email from Rhino about their reissue of your 2nd and 3rd albums, so decided to find out more...all this stuff on your excellent website is sufficiently interesting for me to order the Rhino disc/s unheard! I've got a feeling I'm gonna love 'em, and I'm a great word-spreader...

  The US congress, spearheaded by Indiana congressman Burton, has unfairly attacked Soka Gakkai Buddhists in a report on the internet:
http://www.house.gov/reform/hearings/07.27.00/felonies_and_favors.htm The report blames the SGI for what are essentially problems within the US legal system. This latest persecution by the 3 powerful enemies must not remain unrefuted. These people are the same ones who denounced donations by Buddhists to President Clinton. They must be stopped! Vote for Al Gore! SGI President Ikeda says, When you are struck, strike back! Resolutely refute your attackers!
