"We love singing together."

Preceded by Ashram Meditation Program beginning at 7:00 PM.

Rev. Kim Lesley is a professional musician, offering Kirtan in devotion for over 20 years in NYC at yoga and spiritual healing centers. This has included singing and drumming in Gaura Vani and Jahnavi Harrison’s bands, leading Kirtan on Elias Lopez Yoga retreats, attending Kirtan for 30 years at Shri Shri Radha Govinda Temple Bk, the Bhakti Center NYC, and Siddha Yoga. This past year, Rev. Kim, Jenni Shanti and Angela Hassan have been keeping Kirtan alive Wednesday evenings at Ananda Ashram as well as at various spiritual healing centers in Orange County NY.

Jenni Shanti began her studies at Siddha Yoga Ashram in South Fallsburg, NY. Her mother was a devotee of Baba Muktananda and Gurumayi, which laid the foundation for her spiritual path. Spending a great part of her life immersed in music and prayer, Jenni Shanti became a Priestess and Ceremonialist. She then partnered with Rev. Kim Lesley chanting Kirtan weekly at Ananda Ashram, amongst many other sacred spaces. She is devoted to the ancient sacred healing practices helping others to open their hearts and inspire their minds.

Angela Hassan is a human being whose daily practice is chanting the divine names. Whether she is chanting alone, with one person, or a full crowd, her intent is to come home to the heart, to our true nature, to love. Angela currently resides in the Hudson Valley of New York and shares Kirtan often at yoga studios, retreats and for special events.
