Yoga of Kirtan - Sacred chants with Keshavacharya Das
$15 at The Door

Join new Kirtan artist Keshavacharya Das for an ecstatic evening of sacred chants (Kirtan). With his sweet soulful voice, accompanied by harmonium and traditional Indian percussion, he will carry you to the core of your heart.

Keshavacharya's musical and spiritual journey led him from the pristine mountains of Switzerland, to the ancient temples and simple monasteries of India, and now to the yoga studios and ashrams tucked within America's bustling cities. Throughout it all, he remains a simple monk and lover of devotional chanting. He sees kirtan as a way to connect the performer and the listeners on a spiritual and artistic level, and an opportunity to create sacred space and invite others to enter into that space through the medium of sound.

KIRTAN is the yoga practice of immersing oneself in the ancient sound vibrations of sacred mantras. It is a participatory experience, uniting the audience and the performer in the chant, a practice which has been handed down for millennia from master to student, unlocking the keys to inner awareness and satisfaction. The mantras are primarily in the Sanskrit language, allowing one to experience Kirtan in its original form. The repetition of mantra is a simple and joyful way of calming the mind and experiencing rejuvenation and well being.
