Magical singing
As you learn mantras and prayers by heart, and start to understand each Sanskrit word, your chanting will really grow in power.
But aside from gaining cognitive understanding, how do you let go of mental patterns that develop, and let the devotion take new paths within you?

work towards

The fastest path

Let it fly high

Devotion is the fastest path to self-realization, plain and simple. While other paths can take hard work, through bhakti yoga you simply connect your heart to a higher power and let it lift you into the celestial realms. While it is all about the heart, the prayer or chanting becomes all the more powerful when you cognitively understand the words you are singing. Here is your personalized guide to all those Sanskrit words, to understanding the different embodiments of the divine that are nothing more than specific powers within us... Here is the key to filling your prayer with bhava, the power of emotion that will make it reverberate far and wide.

Morphing of shapes

More potent in groups

There's nothing more beautiful than seeing large groups of people in an authentic state of devotion, completely surrendered to prayer, dancing and singing with all their heart. Here is a platform to keep us connected while we're apart, and to bring us together through hand-picked concerts, festivals, gatherings and celebrations the world over. Create and join groups and events near you, and find your tribe within the larger bhakti tribe. Discover people's riveting stories – how did they find their way into bhakti, and who are they outside of this field? What's your unique place in all of this, and what can you cook up together?

Imbalance

A more wholesome approach

When the channels of devotion really open in us, we enter into states that are often so much more real and powerful than anything we've ever experienced, that everything else tends to fall by the wayside. It's not uncommon for people to drop everything to go to India or live in an ashram, and that can be a crucial step in our journey. But at the end of the day, what is all this inner purification for? When we come back to the world, are we really able to sustain an open heart in a relationship? Has Lakshmi graced us with all the prosperity and wellbeing we need? Or is there some blockage still when the rubber meets the road? Let's get real about what we're doing here.
