Read MoreHow very deeply beautiful this song is, and how beautifully you teach it - from the pronounciation, to the feel of the melody, to the feel of the words, to the spirit of what those words mean, to the heart of how one can sing it. Naren, to hear you sing is a gift. Many many thanks. I am new to the vedic chants, have only recently (4 months ago) discovered Kirtan, and have fallen in love I think. I don't have a harmonium (yet) but am thrilled to get to learn how to sing, even a little, these songs of the spirit. I just wanted to add also, how simple, how right, and how very beautiful it feels, your description Naren, of the river of song, the river of sound, the Akah, the Ah, upon which we may place the prayer boat (once we have learned the words through Lopah's fine instruction) filled with our invocation, our prayer, to this goddess of all art, all music, all beauty... what a gift for me to have stumbled on your video introducing Kirtan (found it on vimeo) which lead me to your website...

Naren K. Schreiner
Naren began his spiritual search at a young age and became a monk of the Self-Realization Fellowship Ashram of Paramahansa Yogananda. For 14 years he studied, served the SRF mission, and lived the pure, disciplined life of a monk. During those years he also concentrated on India's spiritual heritage, yoga sadhana and devotional chanting. In 2010 Naren, with the support and blessing of his spiritual counselors, chose to leave the ashram and expand his lifework and spiritual quest. 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 bhavsangeet. In 2012 Naren founded Sangita Yoga, through which he teaches and offers sacred music in various spiritual centers, universities, cultural and interfaith centers throughout US and México (Naren is fluent in Spanish). He also released four albums of Indian sacred music. He continues to serve as a pujari (ordained Hindu clergy) at the Kali Mandir in Laguna Beach and travels extensively to teach and offer sacred ritual and music.
