Chanting for Peace on the National Mall
Saturday, April 5th | 1:30–3:30 PM
Northwest lawn of the Washington Monument (between Constitution Ave NW & the Monument)

Join Bhakti Yoga DC for a special outdoor kirtan on the National Mall—a sacred gathering of music, mantra, and community spirit.

As thousands come together in Washington, DC on April 5th, we’ll offer two hours of collective chanting as a prayer for peace, unity, and healing. The maha-mantra, rooted in the Bhakti yoga tradition, is a powerful sound vibration that awakens love in the heart and uplifts all who hear it.

Bring your instruments, your voice, and your open heart. Whether you’ve chanted before or are simply curious, all are welcome. Let’s fill the city with sacred sound.

Kirtan is for everyone.
No experience needed—just come as you are.

Join us for a soulful Kirtan event held every Ekadashi, the auspicious day dedicated to fasting and spiritual reflection in Hindu tradition. Ekadashi occurs twice a month on the eleventh day of the lunar cycle, offering a unique opportunity for deeper connection with the divine. Come chant, meditate, and experience the profound peace and devotion of this sacred gathering.

Elevate your spirit at our “Pie in the Sky” Kirtan—a celestial evening filled with heartful chanting, delectable food, and the resonance of sacred mantras. Join our community to create an atmosphere of joy and devotion, welcoming participants of all levels to immerse themselves in the transformative power of kirtan.
