MahaShakti Music

MahaShakti Tim Lechuga (Tio Tim) is a performing singer, songwriter, and recording artist, playing for over 40 years in countries around the world.

In 2005 his rock music roots took a turn for the sacred after meeting guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and hearing for the first time the profound music style of devotional kirtan. 

 Applying his western, folk, rock, rhythm and blues musical roots to recording has resulted in five West meets East albums, each a musical statement in its own right- each exploring the deep devotional path toward self awareness, peace, and social harmony.

In 2018 Tim received a MAMA music award for his continued development and exploration of his musical persona. 

A student of ancient Vedic sciences, Sanskrit and Hindi, and the mythology of the Hindu epics, Tim leads kirtan, mantra and mindfulness workshops, performs at yoga studios and festivals, healing ceremonies, conducts Himalaya Singing Bowl sound baths and does hands-on demonstrations at elementary schools with the sitar and Himalaya Singing Bowls. 

Tim has an Education Specialist Credential in Moderate to Severe Disabilities, and in 2019 received a Bridge Builder from the Stanislaus County Office of Education for his work with children with autism, and a Teacher of the Year Award from the ABC affiliate in Sacramento, California.
