Kirtan

Kirtan with Nina Rao

$10, $20 | Please register in advance, a Zoom link and passcode will be provided via confirmation email.

Chanting cleans the mirror of my heart to develop the clarity to slowly (but surely I’m told) find the Love and along the way, try to step out of my own reactionary behavior and see and be with all as it is. Maybe it will take at least another 108 lifetimes, but all I know is I have this moment – now.

Nina Rao learned traditional chants (bhajans) from her grandfather in a village in south India when she nine years old. The chants quietly stayed with her until she rediscovered chanting with Krishna Das in New York in 1996. For many years Nina has been Krishna Das’ business manager and assistant, often touring with him playing cymbals and singing. In 2007, she recorded the track ‘Nina Chalisa’ on Krishna Das’ CD “Flow of Grace ” and in January 2013, she released her debut album, “Antarayaami – Knower of All Hearts”. Nina regularly leads kirtan, chanting of the Hanuman Chalisa, and sings for yoga classes in her hometown of Brooklyn, NY and beyond.

Full Moon Chanting

Free | Please register in advance, a Zoom link and passcode will be provided via confirmation email.

We gather once a month to chant the Gayatri Mantra, the great mantra of Light and Liberation, to maximize the spiritual benefits of the full moon.

“oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ
tat savitur vareṇyaṃ
bhargo devasya dhīmahi
dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt”
– Rigveda 3.62.10[11]

 

Madhavi Maria Monserrat Becht, RYT-500 began practicing yoga and fell deeply in love with it in 2014 while living in Princeton NJ. She had a Tibetan meditation practice, but something was missing and since then yoga has been her life. Madhavi has a passion for cooking healthy meals, working with healing plants, cacao ceremonies, hiking and being in nature. She moved to IYI San Francisco in 2018 where she decided to go deeper into her practice and live in community. She feels like Integral Yoga is her home. While living in the ashram she has deepened her meditation practice, completed two 200 hour basic training, yin and yoga nidra. Madhavi’s goal is to help others to live more peacefully and in harmony with nature.
