Sankat Mochan Sangha

The Sankat Mochan Sangha, a kirtan group from Mount Madonna Center,  has a long history of offering traditional kirtan.  Kirtan is a form of devotional singing done in a call-and-response format.  As taught by master yogi Baba Hari Dass, kirtan is a form of Bhakti Yoga (the yoga of devotion) and has the ability to focus the mind by concentrating on the sound, the rhythm, the various names of the Divine, and reflecting on the meaning.  For over 30 years, the Sangha has lead kirtan at retreats and gatherings at Mount Madonna Center.  The Sangha has several CD recordings including Devotional Kirtan 1 and 2 and a live recording from Shivaratri, the annual celebration in honor of  Shiva.
