Govind Das or simply "Govindas" is a California-based kirtan singer, owner/director of Bhakti Yoga Shala in Santa Monica, Ca (http://bhaktiyogashala.com/) and as his spiritual name suggests - his dharma is to be a "servant of the divine". He is a bhakti yogi with great love and devotion for Life itself, his guru Neem Karoli Baba, and the traditional yogic practices of India. This commitment to love, service, and devotion is the essence which is reflected and transmitted through his presentation of kirtan.
S...piritual traditions have long used song, music, and sound vibration as a method of prayer to enter the realm of the divine. In the traditional path of yoga, this practice is called KIRTAN - or devotional chanting. Through repetitously chanting the names of God/Goddess from ancient India,
Govindas will guide you on a musical meditation and yogic ritual deep into the essence of Bhakti---the yoga of the Heart, the yoga of Love and Devotion. Through the grace of his teachers, Govindas shares a uniquely inspiring, uplifting, and celebratory approach to this great ancient practice. Kirtan is commonly described as a "jewel of a spiritual practice" because of its joyful, open-hearted, meditative, and communal feeling.
“Govindas's kirtan flows like a waterfall of raw emotion, their sweetness and passion permeating every chant." -JAI UTTAL
