Facilitators

 

Kirtan!

Govind Das + Bhakti Yoga Shala Band

Celebrate and sing the praises of the Lord! Kirtan is part of an ancient form of Yoga known as Bhakti: the Yoga of Devotion. It is the singing of the many names of God and Goddess; the calling, the crying, the reaching across infinite space — digging into the heart’s deepest well to touch and be touched by the Divine Presence. Kirtan is like rain in the desert for a parched heart! Govind Das is a celebrated California-based yogi/recording artist and leads Kirtan concerts, Bhakti yoga workshops, and transformative retreats throughout the world.
