Saturday, 10 am-1 pm
Cost: $30

Prerequisite: experience playing harmonium or guitar at Ananda group sadhanas, kirtans, or Sunday Service. For any exceptions, please make an appointment in advance with Biraj.

Master said that he had spiritualized each chant, by singing it so deeply until it brought him to a state of contact with the Divine.  Is it possible to do that for ourselves? Is it possible we could bring that feeling to those who chant along with us? Let’s explore the possibilities together.
