What is Kirtan?
Kirtan, is call-and-response chanting,
blending timeless Sanskrit mantras
with melodies that resonate with
the vibrancy of the heart and the soul.
Our Bhakti Lineage stems from
Neem Karoli Baba, Bhagavan Das, Ram Dass and Krishna Das.
Kirtan releases stress and 'polishes the mirror'
of our mind and heart
so that we can experience the soul and connect with others
on the soul plane.
Chanting together in nature and during the Summer Solstice has great potency for spiritual upliftment and awakening.

Durga Devi, Shiva Das + Tom Price
Durga Devi, Shiva Das and Tom Price have been together since 2010 offering Kirtan locally as well as across the US and in Canada.
Durga Devi has been an avid practitioner of Kirtan for the better part of two decades, blending the ancient art of devotional chanting with a sun-bright enthusiasm that is inspiring and uplifting.
Shiva Das has been a musician since the age of 18, playing guitar in various bands around Hamtramik and Detroit. He fell in love with Mantra and Kirtan when he and Durga Devi met in 2003.
Tom Price is a true Gem of a human being and our best friend and best drummer in the world.
Whenever Bhagavan Das asked us to accompany him, he always said - 'And bring the drummer!'
Tom has been playing drums of all kinds since he was a young boy.
As a teenager he played with Motown musicians.
Tom was discovered by Durga Devi and Shiva Das at a Girish Kirtan in 2010, they immediately knew they were meant to be together.
The three have been together every since and bring an immersive experience of Kirtan with a rhythmic heart that transforms and uplifts.
