Learning with Sangita Yoga
About Naren K. Schreiner
Naren is a teacher and priest of India’s sacred traditions. Sacred music is an integral part of his life and offerings. He began his spiritual search at a young age, drawn to Paramahansa Yogananda and his teachings. He became a monk of the Self-Realization Fellowship Ashram. For 14 years he studied, served the SRF mission, and lived the pure, disciplined life of a monk.
During those years he especially concentrated on India's spiritual heritage, yoga sadhana and devotional chanting. He learned Indian bhajans and the swarsadhana foundations of dhrupad music.
In 2010 Naren, with the support of his spiritual counselors, chose to leave the ashram and expand his lifework and spiritual search. During his pilgrimage to India that year, Naren was invited to be a resident guest scholar at the ITC-Sangeet Research Academy in India, where he studied with maestros of classical music, concentrating on the foundations of bhavsangeet.
In 2012 Naren founded Sangita Yoga, through which he teaches and offers sacred music and rituals in various spiritual centers, universities, cultural and interfaith centers throughout US and México (Naren is fluent in Spanish). He also released several albums.
The mission of Sangita Yoga is to offer the experience of India's sacred music and to be an authentic and accessible resource for learning.
Naren continues to deepen and expand his spiritual spiritual life at the Kali Mandir, where Naren serves Ma as a pujari (priest), and throughout his travels to other communities and ashrams.
