Description

Join Govind Das and Merry T. in 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. 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. This special event will be at Soul of Yoga Main Studio (627 Encinitas Blvd.) Tickets: $27 pre register; $35 at the door if space permits Govind Das is a California-based kirtan singer, yoga teacher and his spiritual name suggests, a “servant of the divine”. He is the co-director/owner of Bhakti Yoga Shala in Santa Monica, CA. Govind Das' commitment to Bhakti yoga and the ideals of love service, and devotion is the essence which is reflected and transmitted through his music and teachings. His intention is to share yoga in the spirit of celebrating life and developing a personal and intimate connection with source. He leads evenings of kirtan, bhakti yoga workshops, kirtan training, presents at festivals, and leads transformative retreats throughout the world. Merry trained with Govind Das’s kirtan training at Bhakti Yoga Shala in Santa Monica, and with local Bhakti musician and music therapist, Sita Rose, and is excited to share the ancient healing of mantra and singing with you. Her joy for Bhakti yoga started with her first visit to The Soul of Yoga, in 2012 with Soul Talk hosted by Tom and Trisha Kelly, the founders.
