RAAS LEELA KIRTANA An Evening of Sacred Chant, Music & Devotion When voices become one, something beautiful happens… the heart remembers how to sing! There is a special kind of joy that comes from singing together, where music becomes prayer, devotion becomes celebration, and the space between us simply melts away. We are so delighted to welcome Raas Kirtana to our little Temple for an evening of soulful melodies, sacred mantras, and the timeless beauty of India’s Bhakti traditions. Kirtan is not about having a beautiful voice or knowing the songs. It’s about showing up, opening your heart, and allowing the music to move through you. A little sweetness for the soul, a little medicine for the heart, and a whole lot of joy in community!

✨ A Sacred Evening of Kirtan with Raas Leela Kirtana ✨ We are delighted to welcome a new voice—and a beautiful ensemble of devotional musicians—to the Pleasure Point Kirtan community. 🤍 On Friday, November 20th, join us for an immersive evening of sacred sound, devotion, meditation, and connection with Raas Leela Kirtana, an LA-based devotional music ensemble rooted in the Bhakti Yoga tradition. Imagine harmonium, tabla, handpan, percussion, voices, ancient mantras, and contemporary musical arrangements coming together in one shared experience. But this isn’t a concert where you simply sit and listen. You are part of the music. Through the practice of Sankirtan—the collective singing of sacred names and mantras—we move from listening to participating, from individual experience to community, and from the thinking mind toward the open heart. Whether you have been singing kirtan for years or have never chanted a mantra before, you are welcome here. Come sing. Come listen. Come meditate. Come simply be. Raas Leela Kirtana brings together: 🎶 Gopala Bhakta — Harmonium & Vocals 🎶 Bob Baba Bhole — Vocals & Percussion 🎶 Athena Starseed — Vocals & Percussion 🎶 Sidd — Tabla & Handpan 🎶 Joss Jaffe — Tabla Together, they create what they describe as Cosmic Spiritual Music—an uplifting and heart-centered experience where sacred sound becomes a pathway to connection, devotion, and joy. As Paramahansa Yogananda beautifully expressed: “Music that is saturated with soul force is the real universal music, understandable by all hearts.” ✨ Friday, November 20 🕢 7:30–9:00 PM 📍 Pleasure Point Yoga | 3707 Portola Drive 🎟️ $20 Early Bird through November 6 🎟️ $25 Advance November 7–19 🎟️ $35 at the door 🤍 No one turned away for lack of funds Come gather in sacred sound. Come experience the power of singing together. 🎶 Come experience the medicine of sacred sound. Your voice belongs here. We can’t wait to sing with you. 🤍 #PleasurePointYoga #RaasLeelaKirtana #Kirtan #BhaktiYoga #Sankirtan by @gopalabhakta
