Song and Dance

For your pleasure: Chakrini sings, while Jahnavi and Tulasi dance.

Whoops! The video hasn't come out well, so you can watch it better here

January Kirtan.

Chakrini, who came from London, to lead our January kirtan - a very focussed chanter with a beautiful voice, has recently been on tour in Canada and will also be appearing on the main stage at the Mind, Body, Spirit Festival in May. She mentioned to us that her main desire is to spread the message of kirtan in Europe and, to that end, has engagements in Spain, Italy and Bulgaria during the summer. We wish her very well in her endeavours and hope she will come to Oxford again soon. Many thanks Chakrini!

Chanting with Chakrini - January Kirtan.

Chakrini would have led our December kirtan, had the snow not come; she has kindly agreed to come this month instead. We look forward to welcoming her to our Oxford Kirtan Experience and hope you can join us to start off the year in good spirit, with rousing chants. Chakrini's website is here and I'd just like to mention that all our kirtaniyas perform without remuneration, out of love of chanting, so we are very indebted to them for that.

Happy New Year to you all!

Chakrini and the Christmas Kirtan

For our upcoming December kirtan, we're fortunate to be having the young kirtaniya, Chakrini, visit us and lead us in chanting. Chakrini, singer, songwriter and musician, has just released her new kirtan CD, Songs of the Soul. As her website (where you can also hear excerpts from the CD) describes: "A childhood and a lifetime spent immersed in sacred chants and music, has given Chakrini's devotional singing a depth that goes straight to the heart and the soul." We hope you can come and join us for and enchanting Christmas kirtan on 19th December.
