We just love this sweet bhajan from KIRTANIYAS! Don't you? Shyam is a name of Krishna that refers to his dark color, like a dense thunder cloud lit from lightening from within...

Oh My Shyam!

Lord Caitanya taught the practice of Kirtan as a revolution, but a revolution of the heart. How does kirtan cause our heart to change?

Isn't it AWESOME and AMAZING when people incorporate bhakti and spiritual themes into whatever style of music they're into? We think so! Take this super cool conscious rap/ hip-hop track by Srikala Roach and Azitiz Lalita Garrett for instance...
