Mark Trichka and Lisa Brande have been entertaining Baba lovers for decades with their uplifting bluegrass music. In this lively video, the couple tells how they each came to Baba despite not being drawn to religion when young. They also share some remarkable experiences. In Meherazad, Mani dubbed Mark the “Mandolin Walla” after he played for Mehera. At one point, Baba came to Lisa in a dream and said, “I am not this body.” They have spent the last 40 years living in Florida and Vermont and traveling around sharing their inspiring, foot-tapping music.
