The Heart Path of Enlightenment through Sacred Music

Hosted by Stuart Sovatsky PhD, Author of the Amazon bestseller “Advanced Spiritual Intimacy”

Program Description

Sangeet Bhakti Yoga is the music of human feelings—from the most despairing longings to the most sublime ecstasies, whereby we become equal to the expanse of life itself, we attain Yoga, or Union.

Whether through soaring and swooning voices and bhakti-animated asana-dances or impassioned instrumental playing and listening, we feel ever more empathically the full-spectrum of life, ever-stretching into that expansive Embrace that is Bhakti Bhava Enlightenment.

Our second Sangeet Bhakti Sadhana Retreat will be a community-building journey from early-morning asana classes to mid-morning and afternoon community sessions on Tantric Kirtan, Births-Memorials Lineage Puja with Gurudev Amritji, Native American and Indic Fire Ceremonies, Didj and Electronica-Rock-Kirtanica, Infinite-Admiration Puja and How to Meditate on Indian Classical Music.

Thursday and Friday evenings will climax with Sangeet Bhakti-Tantra Sadhana Meditation-Concerts with anahatanad kirtanist, Stuart Sovatsky and didj-digital music master Zorg Ztocouc and other special guests while Saturday evening will feature our third Sangeet Sadhana with world-class sitarist, Partha Bose and tablaist, Indranil Mallick, with 96 years of combined sangeet-tantra sadhana experience. Please check the Amrit Institute webpage for regular updates.
