The “Kirtronica” album is beyond words! Beautiful work!

Thank you for following your heart and soul that created such a majestic vibration art piece within your album, “Kirtronica”.  Jai Rama Stuthard 

“Being new to Kundalini yoga I was unsure if I could keep up with all the chanting and moving and breathing, but Ananda was such an inspiring and amazing teacher and Jaya Lakshmi’s voice brought me into a very open and clear heart space. By listening to the mantras and following the vibration resonating into my being, I was able to sink deeper into my yoga practice, more so than ever before. It felt beautiful and easy. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life, and certain aspects of kundalini yoga, especially the bhakti of singing, has become an integrated part of my life! 

I am deeply inspired by the love that is so natural and vibrant between them.  The music that flows forth from this love is true nectar. I have the honor of dancing with them during Kirtronica performances and it feels like an extension of my yoga ~ as we are connected through practice plus movement plus sound plus intention. I can see that their yoga practice is their life, and it is simply reflected in the teachings and songs they offer. My life has been profoundly changed by traveling with them and being a part of the yoga, chanting, dancing, ceremony and love that is constantly surrounding them. I love it!” Shellie White Light (Hooper and Dancer) 

“With a willingness to be available for an exploration of a personal inner experience as well as a sweet communion with our sisters and brothers, the Kirtronica movement can be looked upon as a progressive step in Consciousness…. a musical Evolution….Lakshmi and Ananda offer the Kirtronica experience by facilitating a marriage of ancient Indian Kirtan and Bhajan music sung with Sanskrit chants interwoven with original English lyrics, modern techno beats and ambient sound. This is truly one of the most innovative and magical combinations that I have encountered yet!” Heidi Mason

“I attended the altar of love retreat in Bali Indonesia with the expectation to learn about the local culture and enrich my body, mind, and soul. During this one week retreat my expectations were greatly exceeded and I found a new found love for myself and others that was always deep in my soul. Through yoga, music, singing, dance, and ceremonies I was able to let go of past traumas and allow my heart to open to be loved and to love others. I learnt so much about myself and others in that one week that would have taken years to learn otherwise. 

I would like to thank Ananda and Jaya Lakshmi for welcoming me with open arms and hearts and enriching my life with this beautiful experience. I now have friends for life and beautiful souls that are always there to learn and grow from. I cannot wait for the next retreat to see what growth my body mind and spirit can go through!!!”  Devin Braden (2013 Altar of Love Bali Retreat Participant)
