Benefit Kirtan w/Dayākar Dās & Living Devotion and Special Guest Joss Jaffe
Advertisement
Greetings Family,
This month we celebrate Kartik Purnima (Tripuri Purnima) which is a festival commemorating Shiva’s victory over the demon Tripurasara. The metaphorical implication to our lives is that no matter how dark it is, no matter how much it seems that evil will win and the goodness of love will be lost forever, never give up hope, for there is power in belief and as long as there is hope, there is possibility and a miracle can happen at moment that allows the light in to dispel the darkness.
This kirtan is a fundraiser for Boys To Men Mentoring which provides weekly mentoring services to teen boys in our local schools. This crucial service is combatting the “Boy Crisis” with amazing results. From social-emotional learning to nature outings, adventure sports and teen rites of passage experiences, Boys To Men is an amazing asset to our community. Your support is not only appreciated, it is instrumental in the continuation of free services to our most at-risk families.

ABOUT THE MUSIC OF YOGA
Kirtan is a spiritual service with five parts that is found in the path of Bhakti Yoga. One of the parts is the chanting of Sanskrit healing and empowerment mantras and the singing of devotional songs called bhajans. Kirtan is a musically guided meditation practice.
Practicing this yoga calms the mind, relaxes the body and energizes the Spirit. Reciting mantra with a devotional attitude, especially the singing of bhajans, has a calming effect on the brain, quieting the mind so that we can experience the opening of our hearts, allowing us to taste the blissful reality that is our true nature.
Come dive into the depths of your own heart in this safe, supportive environment. No previous yoga, meditation or singing experience is necessary to participate.
Practice is led by Dayākar Dās who is a Certified Ashtanga Yoga Teacher and practitioner, who has been teaching meditation and leading kirtan for nearly three decades.
