Bhakti: The yoga of the heart

Bhakti - the Yoga of the Heart and one of the core Jivamukti Tenets—is the practice of offering our actions to something greater than the small self. In Jivamukti, bhakti is nourished through chanting, kirtan, and Satsang. Harmonium supports this devotional path beautifully: its steady drone and simple melodies hold your voice, helping mantra become an embodied expression of love, reverence, and connection—whether you’re in class or at home.

"When I bought kirtan or harmonium courses in the past, I was disappointed... but this course is REALLY AMAZING! It is for beginners but also for “advanced” harmonium players."

saha nāvavatu saha nau bhunaktu saha vīryaṁ karavāvahai tejasvi nāvadhītam astu mā vidviṣāvahai oṁ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ

May God protect us both in togetherness. May he nourish us both in togetherness. May we both work in togetherness with great energy. May our study be vigorous and our meetings be effective to strengthen our togetherness. May we not hate each other destroying our togetherness.

Chanting mantra is a sacred yogic sadhana—an intimate way of letting ancient wisdom flow directly into your life. Through sincere repetition, these timeless sounds become more than words; they become a living vibration that awakens clarity, peace, and inner knowing.

In Sanskrit, mantra comes from man (mind or heart) and tra (a tool for transformation). Mantra is therefore a tool that steadies the mind, softens the heart, and deepens our connection to the spiritual essence within.

About the artists

"Growing up in different cultures, I came to appreciate life as a union of polarities at a young age. Life is thrilling but demanding, beautiful but challenging, graceful but incomprehensible through mere logic. Through yoga, arts, music, and acts of compassion, it is possible to learn to accept all parts of this play as equally significant and as opportunities for learning and insight knowing."
