A magical evening happens once a week on Kauai;
You may not have heard about it if you are new to the island, but if you stay long enough it won’t be long before you hear the locals chatting over the “coconut wireless” and you receive a friendly invite to the “kirtan” in Anahola. (As to be sure the islands very best communication is “word of mouth” when if comes to local happenings.)
The Sacred Kirtan gathering located at the 'Bhakti Yoga Shack' ; a small cottage along the Anahola stream, surrounded by green pastures of grazing cows, and a stones throw to the beach. The evening begins early with a lei making circle where friends connect over small talk while threading Hawaii’s beautiful tropical flowers into colorful leis to decorate the room for the kirtan event, and to later honor and adorn the new comers in the proper island style.
The fragrance of fresh Indian spices mixed with the smoke of incense fills the air. Smiles are freely handed out as the room soon fills with guests sipping hot Chai from ceramic mugs gathering on the floor in a meditation circle plumping up their yoga cushions, settling in for their weekly dose of kirtan.
Sacred Kirtans at the Bhakti Yoga Shack are held on Sunday evenings at 5.30pm and followed by a delicious community shared vegan pot-luck dinner, guests are encouraged to bring a dish to share or give a love donation. The vibe at the Bhakti Yoga Shack is relaxed and full of the 'Aloha spirit' that Hawaii is so famous for. Hosts Radha, Gopal and friends are very receptive kind friendly and welcoming to newcomers. By the end of the evening you are sure to feel among old friends. So next time you are on the Hawaiian islands and want to step into bliss be sure to check out the Bhakti Yoga Shack! where kirtan mantra meditation is a natural doorway to the spiritual dimension where there is joyful relationship between individual spiritual consciousness and Ultimate Consciousness.'
