Kirtan & Devotional Practices in the Bhakti Tradition with Swami Ma Chetan Jyoti
Bio: Swami Ma Chetan Jyoti

Tuition $60

In this Intensive Workshop, Swami Ma Chetan Jyoti will introduce various ways to express Bhakti or devotion to the Divine, which is the root of Kirtan. Her specific practice is Naam Sankirtan, where Naam or "the Name" is felt to be the inner mantra already present in everybody's heart. Related to that, there are sacred syllables or names perceived by ancient seers in a state of divine consciousness. The chanting of these names, done repeatedly with concentration and devotion, is taught here as a powerful devotional practice.

Limited tuition scholarships are available.
