What we’re about
This group will let you you know about bhakti yoga/chanting/kirtan-related events in the greater Orlando area. Kirtan is call & response devotional chanting. It is a practice of Bhakti Yoga, the Yoga of Love! Chanting mantras & Divine Names is an ancient Eastern practice that opens the heart, calms the mind, soothes the soul & frees the voice. It fosters a deep sense of spirituality and community. Styles of kirtan range from traditional Eastern musical styles to contemporary Western styles of music. Find what styles, artists, practices resonate with you. Then bring your friends and chant regularly to get the greatest benefits of this beautiful practice. Be inspired to start your own daily chanting practice!

Alex will start us off with a short YogaFlow to prepare the body for sitting/chanting/dancing while I do sound check and warm up on the ole' harmonium. Move to the flow on your mat, or just enjoy the background music.
We will set our intentions over cacao-infused golden milk, further opening the heart. Then we'll begin chanting around 4:30. (Bring something comfy to sit on for kirtan.)

Kirtan with Dana, Mirabai & Jordan in Memory of Bhaja
The Urban Ashram, 310 E New Hampshire St Suite 700, Orlando, FL, USREGISTER
Join us for a special Kirtan in memory of Bhaja Jaya on the eve of the anniversary of his soul's elevation.
Since 2020, Bhajarangi Jaya served the community of Orlando through a steadfast commitment to caring and loving for all people. He operated under a guiding principle: that there are no throwaway people. He absolutely adored the most ignored and offered love to the most unlovable. As a result, he was moved to found The Urban Ashram of Orlando, which focused its proceeds on serving meals to the homeless residents in the community.
Christopher Bhaja Boyden loved kirtan and was always supportive of all the local and touring kirtan wallahs who came through Orlando. Please join us on January 9th as we celebrate Bhaja's life through the devotional practice of kirtan.
Led by talented musicians and kirtan leaders, Dana Kaplan, Mirabai Moon, and Jordan Loder, this concert invites you to sing, clap, sway, or simply listen as waves of sound carry you into a meditative, blissful state. No prior experience is needed—just an open heart and a willingness to share in the collective energy.
Expect an atmosphere filled with warmth, community, and spiritual upliftment, where music becomes a bridge between the mind and the soul. Together, we’ll celebrate love, peace, and the timeless power of mantra.
When: Friday, January 9th, from 7 - 9 pm
Where: The Urban Ashram
Suggested Donation: $25 (no one turned away)
Free for TUA members
