SPECIAL RAJAS ON THE RUF featuring the LIVE musical performance of devotional songs by ARJUN BABA and the classical teachings of BHAKTI and RAJ YOGA.

This time for Special Rajas on the Ruf, Skylight Yoga Miami & The Ruf are welcoming world renown Kirtaneera ARJUN BABA to inspire us and share ancient Hindustani bhajans, mantras and Sufi qawwali devotional music -during class- as SUDARSHAN CHAKRA leads students on a profound Raj Yoga exploration yoking physical and mental energy into spiritual energy.

The Music:
Kirtan is an ancient Indian devotional music meditation practice where bhajans (devotional songs) and/or mantras (mystic energy encased in sound) are chanted in a call-and-response style. Kirtan is practice of Bhakti Yoga and is a natural passage to the spiritual dimension where there is a joyful and loving relationship between individual consciousness and the Supreme consciousness.

Although Kirtan is a musical meditation, the underlying art of Kirtan is not about musical ability or training – IT IS ABOUT CONNECTING TO THE HEART. Everyone can participate, regardless of age, aptitude or cultural background. The purpose of this experience is to help get us out of our heads and into our hearts.

Arjun Baba is widely known for his heart touching and inspiring Kirtan and is one of the most unique artists of devotional music worldwide. He has been sharing his passion and devotion for over 18 years through Europe, North America and India. Arjun resides in Rishikesh, India, and returns to the West annually to share his gift.

He is currently wrapping up an 8 month US Tour and we are absolutely thrilled that his last stop in the United States will be at Rajas On The Ruf!!!!! 🙂

The Meditation:
Who am I? Why am I here? What is Yoga or a Yogin? Come get your deepest questions about life’s greater purposes answered by the practice of the most ancient system of personal development – Yoga.
More specifically, Raj Yoga instruction is a clear pathway on the quest for spiritual knowledge and truth. Raj Yoga applies the outer bodily system in a very particular way in order to bring physical strength and vitality, stillness and quietness to the mind, ultimately allowing the practitioner to “see” into the very nature of their being and understand their full inner potential. Raj Yoga then progresses into areas more subtle than the mind in order to transcend ignorance, establish right action and finally experience true freedom.

Class @ 7PM RAJ YOGA + LIVE KIRTAN ARJUN BABA
