About this trip

KIRTANIYAS have succesfully been hosting  the India Yatra. Which enables the participants to dive deeper into the  way of doing kirtan, its philosophy and the culture amongst which it all  began.

Though being present at the fascinating temples and being exposed to  its rich culture is helpful in understanding this ancient practice, it  still acquires you to be able to travel to India. Although we are not  able to replace the adventurous part of being in India, we are indeed  able to welcome you to dive deeper into the hidden treassures Bhakti  Yoga has to give. Come and help us to make this specially initialized  retreat one to never forget!

WHAT

Kirtan – Satsang – Ayurveda workshop – Instrument workshop –  singing classes – camping – bonfire – japa walk – meditation – yoga –  community
 

We (of course) have kirtans listed with Vijay Krsna &  Vraj Mohan. You’ll get the chance to ask them all your questions  concerning kirtan practice, bhakti yoga, instrument playing and/or  anything else you can think of.
There will be Satsangs where Vijay will go deeper into the subject.

Vilasini will guide an Ayurveda cooking workshop and will  explain eveything you need to know about specific use of spices,  vegetables, fruits and other foodstuff. Be prepared for some yummy-ness!

WHERE

To enable “being in nature”, “sleeping and cooking on site” and  “accessibility”, we decided to have you hosted at a charming small  alternative healing practice in a town called “Jeserig.” It’s about one  hour south of Berlin and is also easily reachable by train (station:  Brück).


Please make sure to use the right location (as shown on Google Maps on kirtaniyas.com/berlinretreat), as there are 3 different types of Jeserig within 50 kms radius.
If you decide to come by train, make sure to let us know! This way we  can arrange a pick up system. It would be very helpful for us if as many  as possible would arrive at a similar time.

Internationally based KIRTANIYAS are a global collective of energetic, multitalented artists. These twenty-somethings grew up in a Vedic culture of song, dance, philosophy and devotion between ashrams and temples both in India and the western world. They now enjoy sharing devotional culture of Bhakti Yoga with retreats, adventures and educational programs.

I was lucky and blessed to join the amazing Kirtaniyas India Bhakti Yatra (tour) in Jan 2019. Being 7 days in Vrindavan and 3 days in Risikesh with Kirtaniyas was the greatest gift. India is already a wonderful place to visit, but doing so with Kirtaniyas and the group we made there is a unique opportunity that I strongly recommend to those who want to experience the deepest India through devotional (bhakti) yoga. Hare Krisna!!

I was blessed to join the Kirtaniyas for the 2019 India Bhakti yatra. This experience was magical and beyond my imagination life-changing. It meant so much to have Vijay, Malini, Rasika and Sita as retreat leaders. They each have a deep and known connection to India - relationships with the land we traveled to, communities we engaged with (ashrams, temples, people etc) and with lineages and bhakti we practiced together. As a person who is Indian born (living in America), this was especially important to me. It supported my intentions to deepen spiritual practice (with leaders who are not themselves perpetuating cultural appropriation) and be a mindful tourist (even in a place that is my ancestral motherland). Bhakti radiates so freely and lovingly from Vijay, Malini, Rasika and Sita (Kirtaniyas band members + other retreat leader/yoga facilitator). They each were so generous in sharing devotional stories and learnings, and also held our group as a beloved community and family. These exchanges opened my heart, deepened my practice and inspired much joy and personal healing. As someone traveling with the group, I felt taken care of… they arranged all needed details and we found synergy as a group with space for personal practice as needed. And have I mentioned that this retreat was so much FUN! I joked to a friend ~ with the Kirtaniyas there is bhakti and kirtan all the time and everywhere. This way of being is precious and soulful. My life is forever transformed from this trip and more so now with the connection and bonds formed on this yatra. I highly recommend experiencing a yatra or event with the Kirtaniyas. Words can’t express the love and sweet nectar that comes from this bhakti and community family experience.
