About

Join us on the third Friday evening of March at Vivid Oblivion in Cambridge MA to sing your true heart's song with Shubalananda & his band. This Darshan & Dakshina based Bhakti yogic practice is offered freely to the community so all are welcome. Please leave a generous donation if you can in addition to your love, appreciation & meaningful participation.
Shubalananda Saraswati is an American sadhu who has been devoutly traveling since 1995 to share his powerful blues rooted kirtan - an ancient call & response spiritual practice from India. His voice of deep bhava & his masterful musical skills allow Shubal to humbly offer his kirtan as a loving gift to his Guru, to his highest self & to the community around him.
When Shubal sings, his Guru's Shakti fills everyone in the room with a tangibly nourishing soulful energy. His true love, deep wisdom, & the grace of his Guru create an ecstatic transcendent healing vibration accessing the grounded stillness of enlightened consciousness.

What to bring

Please bring a cushion or chair for your comfort as we gather in devotion. You may also wish to bring a water bottle and anything else that supports your practice. Come with an open heart, ready to sing, listen, and share in the transformative energy of this sacred evening.
