We are incredibly blessed to announce a surprise visit to Ireland by Rishi Aaradhakananda from the central European Ashram in Germany. Join us for a captivating evening kirtan session, an immersive experience of call and response kirtan, as we kindle love in our hearts and move to the rhythm of these time-honoured mantras and bhajans. Dive into the heart of ancient chants and rhythms, and feel the unity and positivity of voices singing together. No experience is required – just bring your enthusiasm and your voice.
In the heart of Dublin City, we invite you to immerse yourself in the sacred art of Kirtan, an ancient practice that has the power to open hearts, elevate spirits, and unite souls in a shared experience of divine love and joy. This special evening promises to be a profound journey of inner discovery, connection, and serenity, set against the backdrop of melodious chants and the harmonious sound of traditional instruments.
Rishi Aaradhakananda is responsible for coordinating devotional music in the global mission of Bhakti Marga. He grew up in a spiritual environment, practicing sadhana of ancient Indian traditions from an early age. Thirteen years ago, he encountered his spiritual master, Paramahamsa Vishwananda (Guruji), and became a Vaishnava monk. Rishi resides in the main ashram of Bhakti Marga, Shree Peetha Nilaya, in Germany, and travels the world accompanying Guruji, primarily serving in the practice of devotional chants, kirtans, and bhajans. With a professional background in music and a Jazz diploma from the Saarland University of Music, his expertise has played a crucial role in guiding Bhakti Marga to reach millions worldwide, especially through the acclaimed “Kirtan Sessions” video series, widely recognized and watched across the globe.
Rishi Anantajita Das Ananda will take a few moments between songs to share his experiences on the spiritual path. You will also have the opportunity to ask him questions about his experiences living life as a Hindu Monk and touring the world with Paramahamsa Vishwananda. Rishi Anantajitadas, from Rijeka, Croatia, has spent 7 years at Shree Peetha Nilaya ashram, the heart of Bhakti Marga, near Frankfurt, Germany. In 2016, he met Paramahamsa Vishwananda, changing his life. For 6 years, he has lived as a Hindu monk and has been a Rishi for the past year. At the ashram, he leads the building department, preaches, and serves Paramahamsa Vishwananda.
