Quantum Leap Your Voice, Music and Bhakti Yoga Practice

If you've felt the pull to lead kirtan, to share mantra from your heart, but something inside still hesitates—please know, you're not alone. I’ve worked with so many devoted souls who are deeply connected to this practice, yet still wrestle with doubts like:

✅ You long to sing, but something still holds you back. 

✅ You want to lead kirtan but need confidence, skill, and support.
✅ You’re ready to move from devotional practitioner to devotional leader.

This training is here to change that!  

Namaste, my name is Ananda Das, founder of the Modern Bhakti Yoga Academy, a seasoned kirtan leader with 15 years of experience, a recording artist, and a dedicated tour performer. I want to invite you to partake in a transformative training program crafted to blossom your relationship with your voice, musicality, and bhakti yoga practice. 

This is not just about learning chants— it's about embodying devotion and stepping into your spiritual leadership. Each day is a full-power immersion with:

• 🎶 1–3 Chants per Deity: Learn, practice & embody the chants, their meanings, and the devotional mood (bhava).
• 🎤 Singing Lessons: Develop your voice, confidence & power to lead with clarity and heart.
• Harmonium Training – Step-by-step support, no experience needed
  (Guitarists welcome with basic chord skills)
• Live Chant Practicum – You’ll have the chance to share chants in front of the group, gaining experience and feedback in a safe, encouraging space.
• 🔱 Deity Focus: Daily deep dives into the myth, symbolism & energy of deities like Ganesha, Saraswati, Lakshmi, Durga & more.
• 🧘‍♀️ Yoga Practice Themed to the Deity: Daily asana, pranayama, kriya, mantra & meditation woven into the deity’s archetype from the Sattva Yoga tradition.

“This training was the most joyful, devotional, and safe container I could ever ask for. Ananda Das is not only an incredible talent to learn from, but he is also a gentle teacher. It's no surprise that he has a team of incredible humans assisting him in what I describe as Bhakti Summer Camp. It's intense, it's transformative, and it's SO fun. I was amazed at the amount of growth I experienced in 1 week. And now I'm going to India with him in February for Kirtan Leadership Training! Thank you! Truly life changing. “ Amy Pankenier

“I have just completed my second round of Kirtan and Bhakti Yoga Training with Ananda Das and can confirm that this training helps overcome fears, doubts, insecurities of singing, playing music and leading kirtan. It once again exceeded my expectations.  The entire package from accommodations, food, Ananda's team of assistants, potent daily yoga classes, voice techniques, harmonium skills sessions, philosophical talks on the deities, to song sharing and nightly kirtan to these divine forms, culminated in an exquisite experience for myself and our group."
