Meet our wonderful hosts
Caitanya and Jay live in Sunderland with their 2 lovely children and have been married for 10 years. Caitanya has been practicing and sharing Bhakti Yoga for 24 years and lived as a monk in an ashram/Temple in Scotland for 13 of those years. Jay has been brought up in the tradition and has been practicing since she was a young girl.
They met and came together whilst on a kirtan tour of Scotland. They both share a passion for Kirtan and love to share the wisdom and philosophy of Bhakti Yoga through talks and especially through Kirtan itself.
What is Kirtan?
Kirtan is a form of devotional chanting that originates from the Bhakti yoga tradition in India. It involves singing ancient Sanskrit mantras in a call-and-response style, often accompanied by musical instruments like harmoniums, tablas, and cymbals. Historically, kirtan was used as a way to connect with the divine and foster a sense of community among practitioners. Today, kirtan has spread across the globe, bringing people together to share in its uplifting and meditative qualities. Its timeless melodies and profound vibrations offer a respite from the hustle and bustle of modern life, providing a unique way to connect with oneself and others on a deeper, more spiritual level.
