Are you ready to embark on a soul-stirring journey of devotion and music? Join our Bhajan Class and immerse yourself in world of the divine. Beginner or experienced, singer or instrumentalist, melody or percussion, parents and children … all are welcome.   We will learn and practice bhajans on different deities and in different languages through the year. We will focus on the lyrics, the melody, pronunciation, and an overall sketch of the meaning, to enhance the devotional experience.   Whether you are singing, playing an instrument, or simply listening, music is a powerful medium for expressing and nurturing your love and devotion to the divine. Being one of the most accessible paths to “nava vidha bhakti”, music engages the senses, emotions, and intellect, creating a deeply personal experience. Swami Chinmayananda saw music as a means to foster unity and joy on the spiritual path. Come join us … and be a part of this special journey.
