Bhakti Shakti Kirtan Chanting and Meditation Group

Bhakti Shakti Kirtan Chanting and Meditation Group Join us each Sunday for a night of celebration with
The Bhakti Shakti Band along with special musical guests. This isn’t an organized religion.

Experience the transformative power of music, chanting, and dancing as we come together in love and community. For more than 20 years, people have come together at Boulder Kirtan to chant and practice Bhakti Yoga, the spiritual tradition of devotion. We combine the ancient tools of Sanskrit Mantras, Sacred Sound, Breathing, and Meditation to realign ourselves with our own True Divine Nature and fo

ster emotional and spiritual well-being. This part of ourselves is often hidden behind our chatty minds and complicated egos. We find the experience pretty amazing, and unique each week. We find that when we consistently chant and meditate we have less stress and depression. With fewer emotional roller coasters our lives have more stability and happiness. Kirtan quiets the mind, cultivates one pointed focus, sharpens mindful awareness, and enables us to find our One Heart of Unity. Through this spiritual practice we Honor the Divinity within ourselves, others and in all life. We are learning to see everything with the eyes of Love, embracing and loving all aspects of our selves, returning to Wholehearted living. This can translate into wonderful things in your life. You’ll notice your behaviors and you’ll have the confidence to fine tune them, so your interactions with others are more fulfilling. We’re trying to grow this momentum because it’ll make our community a happier place for all. We sing together for two hours, allowing meditative silence in between. Our chants have simple words and melodies so everyone can easily participate. No need to be embarrassed or shy if you can’t hold a tune. Our musicians maintain the melody and before you know it, you’ll be following along in tune. Instead, we’re inspired by the teachings of Rishis of Sanatana Dharma and Hindu festivals. Many of our sessions celebrate these festivals with special Mantras. We use the forms of Hindu deities to cultivate and bring out the good qualities within us so we can share them with others. We offer kirtan as a gift of selfless service. We are supported by your reciprocal generosity. Donations are used to cover the expenses of running the sessions, and paying our musicians for their skills and time. Many volunteers chip in so we can keep the costs as low as possible, and make every evening of shared spiritual practice fulfilling and beautiful. Come and joins us every Sunday at 7 pm. Location: Vali Soul Sanctuary, 6717 Valmont St, Boulder, CO 80301
Donation: $20.00 - or sponsor us with autopay, tax deductible monthly donations

Please bring a snack to share after kirtan and get to know new folks, we will make tea. Visit our website www.bhaktishaktikirtan.com. You can join our mailing list, explore events, learn more about all the musicians, get their music, donate and get connected to the kirtan community.

**LIVE STREAM UPDATE - August 1, 2026**

Due to technical issues and limitations, we are discontinuing the Live stream until the issues can be resolved.

Deep appreciation to those who have and do watch. Unfortunately, the sound and video are not where we want them to be, and that creates stress each week for the actual live Kirtan.

We will continue to explore how to get it where it needs to be.

In the meantime, please continue to enjoy our YouTube channel with over 900+ videos, shorts and livestreams of our Kirtans.

We are saddened to have to make this choice, but we feel it is the best choice at this time. We appreciate your support and look forward to the possibility of a much-improved Live stream offering in the future.

❤️🙏

✨Bringing the Bhav back home this week with a special guest..

We are excited to welcome COLLEEN CROSSON to

Bhakti Shakti Kirtan for the first time. She brings a rich and diverse history in music and will be a great addition to the depth and experience of The Bhakti Shakti Band.

Colleen’s musical journey began at an early age, inspired by her paternal grandmother who was a classically trained aria vocalist. She got her first guitar at age 14 and delved into the folk scene, playing coffee houses while still in high school later branching out into rock, country, a ca****la, jazz, and bluegrass.
