About this Event
Join us for a sacred evening of spiritual meditative music with LA based devotional and spiritual ensemble Raas Leela Kirtana and Santa Cruz based mantra artist Vaidehi Amair at the beautiful The Center SF!
We will facilitate an uplifting event filled with the healing vibrations of Sankirtan which is an ancient spiritual and meditative practice hailing from the sacred bhakti yoga tradition of India. As we repeat the spiritual seed-thoughts of the sacred chants and mantras with devotion and concentration we find that the mind gets interiorized and the consciousness expands thereby yielding deep healing of body, mind, and soul. This ancient art of devotional superconscious Kirtan chanting is a very efficient meditative practice that helps us experience deeply meditative states by attuning our consciousness with the primordial vibratory sound of Aum.
"The sankirtans or musical gatherings are an effective form of yoga or spiritual discipline, necessitating intense concentration, absorption in the seed thought and sound. Because man himself is an expression of the Creative Word, sound exercises on him a potent and immediate effect. Great religious music of the East and West bestows joy on man because it causes a temporary vibratory awakening of one of his occult spinal centers. In those blissful moments a dim memory comes to him of his divine origin." -Paramahansa Yogananda
is an original Kirtan and Indian music ensemble from LA that performs uplifting spiritual and devotional music from the sacred bhakti yoga tradition of India. Raas Leela Kirtana’s repertoire consists of original compositions, traditional Indian bhajans, sacred mantras, and Paramahansa Yogananda's cosmic chants. Raas Leela Kirtana's spiritual music helps to awaken the devotional and meditative states gained from deep devotional superconscious chanting which in turn opens up the heart fully to receive the love of the Divine thereby yielding complete healing of body, mind and soul.
