Description
Welcome to Bhakti Night- an evening dedicated to the wisdom and practice of bhakti-yoga.
The evening begins with a soul-stirring kirtan, a musical form of meditation, where the air will resonate with melodious chants and the rhythmic beats of traditional instruments. As the sweet sound vibrations fill the room, you'll find your heart opening up, and any stress or worries gently dissipate, replaced by a profound sense of peace and contentment. The kirtan is followed by a talk on teachings from the ancient yoga tradition which is always thought provoking and even entertaining!
As the night draws to a close, we'll conclude with a delightful vegetarian dinner. Savor the sanctified dishes, lovingly prepared with devotion, and experience how food can be an offering of love and nourishment for the soul.
Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a curious newcomer, this program promises an evening filled with spiritual bliss and inner harmony. We look forward to sharing this wonderful journey of devotion with you!
