Join Govind Das for the uplifting and heart opening practice of Kirtan. Kirtan is an ancient Bhakti Yoga practice using mantra and music as an expression of devotion and prayer. Govind Das is a Bhakti Yogi following the path of Neem Karoli Baba, Ram Dass, and Hanuman Bhakti. The literal translation of kirtan is “to praise.” Kirtan is described as a “jewel of a spiritual practice” because of its joyful, open-hearted, meditative, and communal feeling. Come sing, dance, and enjoy spiritual community. For the new people to kirtan/chanting, just bring yourself, no special clothes or yoga mat needed. “Chant and Be Happy!”
