Bhakti Center Programs

Kirtan has always been the heartbeat of the Bhakti Center and our community. Prior to the pandemic, regular kirtans gave us the opportunity to express our hearts in a devotional manner through music and mantra as well as create a space of connection for the city’s Bhakti practitioners. While we have taken every precaution over the past year to respond in a responsible manner to the current COVID-19 situation, to spend so long without being able to come together and share this sacred practice has been a great challenge.

Explore the philosophy of bhakti, which is the spiritual practice of awakening our potential to love in this weekly in person gathering. Our time together will include uplifting teachings, captivating wisdom, and heartwarming stories. Topics are aimed at helping us see ourselves, the world around us, and the Divine with a realistic spiritual vision and a higher level of consciousness. We especially like to include practical examples on how to implement ancient teachings into life in the real world.

This program is especially inviting those who are new or have no prior knowledge of bhakti. We will have music meditation to open the heart and clear the mind, a short thematic talk, and lots of time for questions and discussion.

Tuesday Night Kirtan is a guided experience of healing and uplifting sound. Integrating mantra, rhythm and beautiful live instruments, the group is led toward a deep state of meditation.

In the yoga tradition, sound is used as a powerful tool for inner transformation. Tuesday Night Kirtan is a simple and authentic way to relieve stress, refresh the mind and connect with the heart.

Great for new meditators as well as seasoned practitioners.
