The Path of Devotion: Bhakti, Kirtan & Sangha
Yoga is more than asanas; it is a path to the heart. Join our sangha in cultivating connection through the ancient practices of kirtan, mantra, and community satsang.
"Capturing the essence of devotion, the Bhakti Bhav." This moment shows me immersed in the feeling of kirtan, playing the djembe. It is in these moments of musical prayer that we can lose ourselves and find a deeper connection.
A close-up moment of prayer during a kirtan. As Krishna Das says, "Bhakti Yoga isn't something you join, it's just love." I am ever so grateful for the grace that allows the heart to open and the light to flow in.

About The Path of Devotion: Bhakti, Kirtan & Sangha
When we gather for kirtan, it is not a performance but a collective practice. We use instruments like the djembe and harmonium to ground our energy, focusing on the simple, repetitive nature of the mantra to quiet the mind. Whether you have never chanted before or have a regular practice, the focus here is purely on the bhakti bhav—the feeling of devotion—rather than musical perfection.
Bhakti Yoga is often called the yoga of love. In our modern lives in Gurgaon, it is easy to feel disconnected—not just from the world around us, but from our own selves. Kirtan, the act of call-and-response chanting, is a powerful tool to bridge that gap. By chanting mantras like 'Govinda Jaya Jaya', we move past the chatter of the mind and enter a space of shared vibration.
Our 'Special Sangha' sessions are designed to be an accessible entry point into this tradition. You do not need to know the Sanskrit words or be a professional singer to participate. The beauty of this practice lies in the community coming together with a shared intention. We sit in a circle, often using simple acoustic instruments, and let the rhythm guide us. It is an internal journey that happens externally through connection with others.
For those who feel intimidated by group settings, these sessions offer a safe container to explore your voice and your spirit. We blend philosophy with practice, ensuring that the ancient wisdom of the Vedas and the Bhakti tradition is relevant to your daily challenges. Come as you are, bring your openness, and let us explore this path of light together.
