Join Renjith Iya from Sangita Devi for a night of sacred chanting from the Heart.

Kirtan is Bhakti Yoga, the path of devotion, the path of the heart. It is a tradition and spiritual practice developed by the Yogis which can bring us effortlessly to a deep place of tranquility and ecstatic bliss by singing simple mantras in call and response.

Kirtan's beauty is the ability to bring community together, singers and non singers, and create a space that opens the voice and connects us in harmony. Everyone can participate, regardless of age, musical ability or cultural background. The purpose of the practice is to get out of our heads and into our hearts.

While it is true that we can sing these chants in the solitude of our own home, there is nothing like the magic of chanting with live musicians and a gathering of community singing in harmony. Join us for this interactive
