The aim of Yoga is Music project is to share the culture of kirtan by organizing kirtan concerts, evenings, workshops and tours. Kirtan, or the call-and-response singing of sacred mantras, accompanied by classical Indian instruments, is an ancient art to calm the mind, open the heart and connect with the Divine Consciousness. It is a culture where everybody can take place and make their own spiritual experience.
How it all started?
„Yoga Is Music“ was started by organizing a Balkan kirtan tour with the world famous kirtan Star – Krishna das and his friend Sacinandana Swami. The tour took place in 5 major cities and yoga centers in the Balkans (Zagreb, Split, Sarajevo, Belgrade and Novi Sad), and hosted around 2.000 kirtan lovers and new interested listeners, at 5 concerts and 3 workshops.

What was the result?
The inspired public and kirtan lovers raised the request to organize more such events, and thus our friends responed by making smaller kirtan evenings in the above mentioned towns on a regular basis. The satsangas were great! But that is not all – the nice kirtan atmosphere started to spread in Austria and Slovenia as well, and thus more kirtan lovers joined and are now working on kirtan events in their countries.
What is our vision?
Thus our vision has become simple as that: let's make more such nice satsanghas where kirtan lovers meet in a wonderful spiritual atmosphere! Let's sing from our hearts for the pleasure of the Divine, and let us be carried to the Ocean of love. Our every event takes place in a warm, relaxed ambience, filled with candles, spiritual tastes and pleasant aromas.
