✨ Prem Ganga Kirtan – From the Himalayas to the UK ✨

Over the past weeks here in the Himalayas, something truly special has been unfolding…

What began as a simple intention to share music and devotion has grown into a heart-led community of bhakti yogis — with local musicians and travellers from around the world coming together in song. 💛

Alongside my bhakti brothers Monu and Vanshu, two talented local musicians, we created Prem Ganga Kirtan in the autumn last year.

Prem meaning divine love, and Ganga symbolising the sacred flowing river — together, a current of love, music and devotion that continues to grow and evolve wherever we gather.

Each kirtan feels like a co-creation… voices rising, rhythms building, hearts opening. No performance, no pressure — just shared presence and connection.

If you’re new to it, kirtan is a beautiful Bhakti Yoga practice of call-and-response chanting. It’s less about singing perfectly and more about feeling — using your voice to quiet the mind, open the heart, and connect to something deeper within.

✨ And for those who can’t join us in person, you can still feel the love — we now have a YouTube channel where we share our live kirtans from the mountains and beyond.
You can check them out through this link - https://www.youtube.com/

🌿 Coming back to the UK this summer…
I’ll be sharing this magic at a LIVE KIRTAN IN TUNBRIDGE WELLS, Kent on 27th June with Pernilla.Sound.Healing and Lillia would absolutely love to see some familiar faces there.

I’ll also be playing at two Kent festivals this summer with my UK kirtan family — more details coming soon!

So much gratitude to everyone who has sung, played, listened and opened their hearts along the way…

Prem Ganga flows on… 💫

At Prem Ganga Kirtan, ancient devotion meets modern expression. Where East meets West, voices unite, and hearts awaken. Immerse yourself in Kirtan, the sacred call-and-response chanting that opens the heart and uplifts the soul. Discover the bliss of Bhakti Yoga — singing for joy, love, and union ...

✨ Meet Lori – Co-Facilitator for my South India Retreat ✨

I’m so happy to introduce Lori, who will be co-facilitating my 2027 South India Retreat with me.

Here’s us pictured together after a puja for Ma Bagalamukhi at Ram Yoga House in MacLeod Ganj.

Lori is a highly experienced yoga and meditation teacher who lives seasonally in Himachal Pradesh, India, where she continues to deepen her practice and connection to the roots of yoga.
She has trained extensively in yoga, meditation and holistic wellbeing practices, with a strong focus on gentle, intuitive movement, nervous system support and inner awareness. Over the years, she has held retreats, workshops and one-to-one spaces, supporting women to slow down, reconnect and feel truly held.

What I love most about Lori is her calm, grounded presence—she creates a space that feels safe, nurturing and deeply restorative, allowing real transformation to unfold in a very natural way. And she really knows and loves India just like I do!

💛 I feel incredibly grateful to be holding this retreat alongside her.

There has been much to contemplate this weekend.

I joined a weekend non residential course exploring the Buddhist philosophy on the purpose of life.

Being in the heart of Tibetan Buddhism here in Macleod Ganj offers the opportunity to learn directly from the monks, which is always interesting.

I’m still contemplating the teachings, so no commentary from me. Except gratitude for having the opportunity to have the time, inclination and curiosity to consider these big topics. 🙏

Is there anything nicer than a hike in the mountains in the sunshine to a beautiful waterfall with good company and mountain pizza! 🍕

I love this area so much ❤️🇮🇳

We spend 5 nights here in Macleod Ganj on my North India retreat and this hike I did to the waterfall is an optional hike you can take (weather dependent).

Want to join me here in Macleod Ganj next March ?

Booking now open with early bird pricing … book early and save £250.

Every day is special

But today was even more special.

It’s been a long term wish of mine to see HH the Dalai Lama in person and today it happened.

He was at the temple this morning receiving a blessing. So we headed off early (5.10am wake up call) to get settled at the temple before the 90 mins blessing.

We completely lucked out as we were able to sit right by the main temple and could watch the whole ceremony and his holiness through the windows (instead of on the big screen) and he also walked super close to us to enter and exit the temple.

Before his holiness arrived we had two hours of the monks chanting and we were fed Tibetan butter tea and bread rolls whilst sitting alongside the Tibetan community as they were praying.

The energy in there was incredible. I could feel the love, devotion and compassion so strongly, it was a deeply emotional and transformative experience.

No phones were allowed in the temple, so here are a few pics I took a few days ago as they were preparing the temple for today. Just wow 💟❤️🇮🇳

There’s a reason the mountains keep calling you.

And keep calling me!!

Not for escape…but for clarity.

For space. For something real.

This September, we journey deep into the Indian Himalayas—through Manali and into the raw beauty of the high altitude remote buddhist Spiti Valley.

Join me and a small group of like minded people to experience

✨ Yoga & meditation in nature
✨ Sacred spaces & ancient wisdom
✨ Vast landscapes that shift your perspective
✨ Time to breathe, reflect, and reconnect

This is more than a retreat.

It’s a true adventure and an experience that will stay with you long after you return home.

ONLY 3 ROOMS now remain.

This weekend I’m diving deep into Mahayana (Tibetan) Buddhism with a two day course at this famous meditation centre.

Today was an intense start! Meditating in a room with 150 people is a powerful way to start the day and the topics we covered from karma, suffering, the nature of consciousness, death, our emotional intelligence is giving me a lot to contemplate.🤔

I’m so grateful to have these opportunities to learn something new (and revise concepts I’m already a little familiar with) with dedicated people from all over the world.

Tomorrow I go back for a further deep dive 🙏
