We celebrate the Bhole Baba Bhakti Festival in August, from 15-18 August, with lots of singing together (kirtan), mantra singing, music, and inspiration. The Bhakti Festival we dedicate to Babaji’s message of “Truth, Simplicity, Love and karma-yoga”.
Besides the festival program you are also welcome to participate in the usual ashram program with Aarti and Havan, and also welcome to participate in the Satsang, that is to say: in Truth sharing of experiences and insights. You have also the opportunity to follow a yoga workshop.
Several kirtan musicians lead the kirtan. As soon as the participating musicians are known, they will be announced on this page.
