Join us! Hanuman Chalisa 40 Day Online Sadhana
with Govind Das & Rama Chandra Das .das.108 .chandra.das
JANUARY 13 - FEBRUARY 21, 2026
Join Govind Das and Rob (Rama Chandra Das) as your tour guides through the rich devotional tapestry of the Chalisa. Every day during the Zoom satsang, Govind Das and Rob will sequentially introduce a new line for study and memorization, proper pronunciation, share stories about Hanuman-ji, and, of course, sing the Chalisa!

The Hanuman Chalisa is a devotional hymn/prayer written by the Bhakti saint Tulsidas 500 years ago. For the past 5 centuries, the Chalisa has been a central prayer in the Bhakti Yoga tradition praising and glorifying Lord Hanuman, the divine monkey and pure embodiment of love, service, devotion, humility, strength and protection.

This is a great opportunity to learn the Hanuman Chalisa in community and friendship, with structure and guidance. Jai Sita Ram! Jai Hanuman! PS. Even if you already know the Chalisa, this will be a wonderful chance to deepen your relationship and connection with Hanuman and this inspiring practice!

MODULE 2 KIRTAN TRAINING
with Govind Das
November 11 - December 9, 2025
ON ZOOM
To register:
Email Us at bhaktiyogashala@gmail.com

Meeting Times: Tuesdays from 6:30-8:30pm PST
** No meeting on Tuesday, November 25th **
Live and Recorded on Zoom
Previous kirtan/music experience recommended. All sessions are recorded and distributed to participants promptly after each session, so that if a student needs to miss a session they will be able to watch/study on their own time or save the recordings for practice tools in the future.

This is a MODULE 2 Training that is designed for anyone that has participated in a previous KIRTAN TRAINING at Bhakti Yoga Shala or any other kirtan school. If not, it is recommended that the participant have an understanding and adequacy of playing basic harmonium chords.

In this ONLINE (via Zoom) Kirtan Training MODULE 2 with Govind Das, Director of Bhakti Yoga Shala, participants will cultivate the tools and enjoy the deep spiritual fulfillment in leading Kirtan- the ancient Bhakti Yoga practice of devotional mantra chanting. This program is also a deep exploration into the philosophy of Bhakti Yoga.

This will be a deep immersion into learning and developing skills that range from the cultivation of your own home practice to being on stage and leading kirtan events. All levels of musicianship are welcome. Personal guidance and teachings will be given individually and collectively dependent upon the participants’ degree of musical understanding on how to develop their own personal path of leading kirtan. Participants must have their own harmonium or keyboard to use during the training.

OC KIRTAN THIS SAT Nov 8!
Kirtan with Govind Das and Jacquenline at BE THE CHANGE in IRVINE

Join world renowned Kirtan singers Govind Das and Jacqueline from the Bhakti Yoga Shala for a night of community connection and kirtan. We’ll start the evening with a community potluck in the Tea House from 5:45 – 6:30PM. Please bring a vegetarian dish or beverage for sharing.
The community event will be followed by a kirtan; which is a live music experience of call and response chanting. It’s a bhakti yoga practice designed to focus the mind, open the heart, and elevate your spirits. It is a joyful practice open to students of all backgrounds and religions. The sounds / mantras are often in the language of Sanskrit; which is a vibrational language.
If you have not yet experienced the practice of kirtan, we can’t recommend it more highly. It invites us to transcend our egos, to become playful, join our voices and sing from the heart tapping into the mystical power of mantras that have been recited for thousands of years.
