Beginning |
|

Vision |
|
Bhakti Kirtan Group provides Seva
during weekly Satsangs on Sunday as well as during Special functions/Celeberations
(Utsavs). Group’s goal is to empower and encourage the group’s devotees to take
a more active role during our regular Sunday satsangs and then gradually become
part of the Utsav’s celebrations
Shreemay Bhakti Kirtan group currently
has approximately fifty devotees consisting of both singers and musicians. The
Bhakti Kirtan team has become a medium for an on stage “Kirtan Bhakti seva”. Each
devotee’s contribution is vital to the success of this group’s seva. Through
“bhajans” and music, the devotees communicate with the Lord and create “bhavas”
through praising, praying, and expressing happiness. By singing bhajan’s at
various Utsavs; it strengthens Vaishnavs faith, enriches spirituality, creates positive
vibes, enthusiasm, and immense joy and delight.
The Bhakti Kirtan Group share,
support, and dedicate their time and give selfless seva. The team members
devote 3 to 6 hours per week to practice and prepare for upcoming event at
Shreemaya Krishnadham.
