The intention of this Namasankīrtanam group is to build a dedicated Bhajan Mandali rooted in devotion, discipline, and joy in nāma. Together, we aspire to grow as a collective that not only sings but lives our sampradāyam, preserving and passing it on with sincerity and depth.
Over time, this Mandali is envisioned to travel and perform Nāmasaṅkīrtanam across North America and eventually around the world sharing the spirit of bhakti, fostering community, and strengthening the continuity of our tradition for future generations.
What to expect: Students will be taught Dakshnina Bhajana Sampradaya, entailing a traditional structured style of group singing. Students will be featured in in-person events as opportunities will arise in the US and India.
