Greetings Friends and Family,Your invited to chant, dance and do seva (selfless service) at the same time. How? Simply attend our Benefit Kirtan with Dances of Universal Peace.
Proceeds from this event will benefit Boys To Men Mentoring (BTM) a non-profit organization that trains teams of men to mentor at-risk teens in our local schools. BTM supports teens with a place to get real and talk, understand emotions and gain valuable life skills, such as meditation, introspection and acceptance. BTM also supports teens in cultivating compassion for others and the sense of belonging to and contributing to community. In addition to weekly in-school mentoring, BTM further assists the youth by offering adventure outings to connect boys with nature and help them overcome physical, mental and emotional challenges.
We will have a raffle with amazing prizes to further extend the support we can offer (see our website for details about prizes: www.LivingDevotion.org). Please spread the word, bring a friend and come out to support this amazing program for our youth.
Get involved, become a mentor, donate or volunteer. You can learn more and donate by visiting:

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.
