Our Invited Guests
Kevin James
Australian singer-songwriter known for his devotional music, which he presents in a way that transcends religious boundaries. His music style uniquely blends English lyrics with powerful mantras from around the world. He refers to his songs in English, which convey deep Eastern philosophical concepts, as “Heartsongs”. Kevin has been traveling the world since 2010 sharing in “Chanting Circles,” offering a group experience that aims to reconnect individuals to their Divinity. He collaborates with his wife Susana, holding events and retreats with the shared vision of heart connection as a route to a more harmonious life.
Brenda McMorrow
Known for her warmly embracing style of mantra medicine music, blending acoustic folk, world rhythms, ancient Indian chants, and introspective singer-songwriter sensibility. Rooted in Sanskrit mantra and kirtan, her music also weaves Spanish medicine songs and original English lyrics into a healing participatory experience. Yoga Journal praises her ability to express deep realizations with lyrical simplicity, while spiritual teacher Ram Dass said, “Brenda has a gift.” Her work is devoted to bringing beauty, healing, and inner connection through music.
Sangeeta’s Ensemble (Dani, Sheperd, Erik, Ananda…)
A group of accomplished musicians, devotees of Arunachala and children of Mother India who delight in sharing Kirtan and Devotional Song for many years. Sangeeta has led Kirtan and community chanting for more than 30 years, deeply rooted in the classical Indian devotional tradition, known for her luminous voice and uplifting spiritual energy. Her music is a timeless expression of bhakti, inviting listeners into moments of deep recognition and inner stillness. Renowned musician Jai Uttal has described her as “a gem.” She offers music as a transparent vessel for the Divine and a shared experience of love and remembrance.
Vedanth Bharadwaj
Music is prayer, play, and a lifelong companion to Vedanth. From learning Indian classical as a child of four to letting Bhakti, Sufi, Blues, Country, Folk, and Classical music flow into his songs, his music resists boxes, much like Kabir’s own verses. Every note carries that same thread: a love that keeps growing and refuses to be contained.
Lakshmi Santra
An Indian classical vocalist born in Kolkata and trained in Hindustani classical music at the University of Allahabad. Based in Pondicherry, she shares traditional ragas, Bengali songs, bhajans, mantras, and Sanskrit devotional hymns. Lakshmi has performed and taught extensively in India and Europe. Her work is rooted in the tradition of Nada Yoga, emphasizing the natural voice as a path to musical and spiritual depth.
Kaivalya Ma
A devotional singer and kirtan leader dedicated to the practice of bhakti yoga. She has shared kirtan gatherings for many years and maintains a YouTube channel, Kaivalya Amma, with over 108 devotional songs. Kaivalya Ma spent 16 years living at the ashram of Mata Amritanandamayi, where she engaged in seva and participated in international tours. Her offerings are rooted in sacred chanting and devotional music as a path of inner connection and service.
