The chant you learn in the workshop will become the heart of the evening concert, where everyone (plus professional guest musicians) joins together in a powerful, collective rāga-based kīrtan experience.

Playshop Highlights:

Sanskrit Alphabet Intro: Discover how tuning your Sanskrit pronunciation adds power and beauty to your chanting.

Apply to the Mantra: Practice a Rāga-based Kīrtan chant, learning the Sanskrit words, melody, and rhythm in a fun, accessible way.

[Optional] Harmonium Basics: Try out the harmonium and see how it supports group chanting (no experience necessary! Bring your harmonium if you have one!)

Afternoon Rāga: Explore melody and Rāga in a playful, supportive environment—Anandra’s unique approach makes it easy and fun.

Rhythm & Variations: Get into the groove with rhythmic patterns, melodic variations, and creative vocal layering. (Beginners to advanced, all voices welcome; there’s a musical role for everyone!)

Group Harmony: Experience the magic of chanting together—blending voices, harmonizing, and creating a joyful, resonant soundscape as a group.

From Workshop to Concert: Be Part of the Main Event!

This is an empowering chance to feel the thrill of singing in community—not just listening, but truly participating and co-creating the music! Devotion is skill, and skill is devotion… we will refine your mantra chanting, nāda yoga, and chant leader skills at this workshop. No experience needed—just bring your curiosity, your voice, and your love for chanting!

We will integrate the experience with a Sacred Sound Journey with Mignon Mukti fusing Gong, Monochord, Crystal Alchemy Bowls with percussion and vocal toning

Come for the learning, stay for the joy, and leave with your heart and voice fully inspired. All are welcome. Bring your harmonium, Kartals, and mrdangam if you have them! Let’s tune our bhakti as we set our chanting on fire—together!

Aloha,
