Event Details

Beginning and intermediate harmonium players are welcome in our class. Each week includes review of the previous week’s chants, one or two new chants with variations available for both beginning and intermediate players, and instruction in harmonium basics and/or history.

Brand new students are invited to call ahead to arrange a 1 on 1 at 5:30; before the group lesson at 6 pm.

Each class will conclude with a half hour kirtan in which students may participate. It’s a safe and wonderful opportunity to take first (or second … or tenth) steps in playing along, singing and leading chants, if desired, or to simply listen, enjoy and discover new chants to learn for themselves.

All students are also encouraged to attend Community Kirtan at Inner Path on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month (the weeks between classes) to enjoy the chanting and become part of our growing community of Kirtan participants who share their love of Kirtan.

Presenter

Mukti Devi (Crystal Lanier)

A lifelong musician and vocalist, Mukti Devi has participated in and lead Western style kirtan ensembles for over a decade at the Center for Spiritual Enlightenment in San Jose, CA. Her love of the Harmonium and the art of Kirtan began on first hearing the resonant vibrations of the beautiful kirtanista, Gina Sala. Mukti has taken kirtan workshops with Gina and Jay Utal, both incredible Kirtan artists known in chanting communities around the world. Mukti is incredibly grateful for the inspiration they offer their students through their love of kirtan as well as the loving guidance of her own Guru, Yogacharya Umaji (Ellen Grace O’Brian), who has guided and inspired Mukti in many ways including the teachings of Kriya Yoga and love of Kirtan as well.
