Songs with Sanskrit mantra and also english lyrics will be shared. All are encouraged to sing along or listen - No experience necessary, chant sheets will be provided.
Bhakti yoga - the yoga of devotion consists of singing the names of the divine together with others in call and response or unison fashion.
