Philip Cowlishaw
Philip Evan Cowlishaw (Prem Daas) began his spiritual path on his 19th birthday, and also began reading all that he could about God, Religion, and Spiritual Thought. He studied Communications and Music in college, and Opera in Graduate School at DePaul in Chicago.
Philip also studied Tai Chi Chuan with Carol Yamasaki, learned meditation from reading Stephen and Ondrea Levine, entered into Group and Individual Therapy, and continued to be inspired to love, serve, and laugh by his mother, Myra Jane Freeman. In 1995, he felt compelled to become a born-again Christian, and soon after, he became a Roman Catholic and a Secular Franciscan. In New York, he lived as a professional actor for 4 years, attended Sathya Sai Baba Meetings and joined the Unitarian Universalist Church.
In 2004, Philip moved to Hollywood (thus fulfilling a childhood dream), but quickly moved into an Ashram with a Guru where he worked 2 jobs, served several ministries, and slept only 4-5 hours a night. Drawn to the city of peace and love, he moved to the Medicine Buddha Temple in San Francisco in 2006 where he composed his first musical CD, "Dawn of Awareness". From there, he moved to Washington D.C. where he met his 2 final teachers, Jackie O'Keeffe and Komal. Most recently, he moved to Austin, Texas to be near Komal, to sit in silence, and to continue the sharing of devotional music with all.
Philip delights in offering 90-minute singing and meditation events.
