Immerse yourself in the transformational power of sacred sound in a spirit of devotion and gratitude, honoring the Divine and the lineage of spiritual teachers who illuminate our path.

Karnamrita Dasi’s kirtan style blends profound classical Indian vocal training with a deeply devotional Appalachian ashram upbringing. Her performances feature meditative, bhajan-inspired chanting in Sanskrit and Hindi, creating an enchanting, “nectar-like” atmosphere that nurtures inner stillness and spiritual connection.

Learn more about Karnamrita Dasi in the Integral Yoga Magazine feature article: “Artist Spotlight: Karnamrita Dasi.”

Karnamrita Dasi was raised on music, Sanskrit, Vedic teachings, kirtan, japa meditation, and a vegetarian lifestyle in an ashram community in West Virginia’s Appalachian Mountains. She studied Indian classical music in India for 10 years and sings worldwide, offering the blessings handed down by her teachers. She has tried to incorporate the meaning of her name — karn (ear) and amrita (the nectar of sound to the ear) into her life’s purpose.

Join Astrud and her dear friend Saheb on tabla for an evening of Kirtan, or mantra meditation.
We use mantra, sound and vibration to polish the mirror of the heart and dismantle the illusion of separation. Man means mind and tra means instrument. Mantras are instruments or tools used to redirect our mind to the Source, Peace and ultimately to the heart.
The collective consciousness is healing and fun. We use this time to celebrate being alive, send prayers to those in need and be in community.
We sing in the key of “WE”, join us!
No experience is necessary.
