“Sound is the most powerful vibration in the universe”
—Paramhansa Yogananda

Chanting opens up our heart and awakens in us intense devotion for God. As Yogananda often said, “Chanting is half the battle.”

October 29th, 7-9pm at FloridaRama – 2606 Fairfield Ave S, St. Petersburg, FL 33712
Please come in through the main entrance at FloridaRama with the colorful mural – We’ll be gathering in the main exhibit space.

Enter the glowing, creative sanctuary of FloridaRAMA for an unforgettable evening of devotional chanting, mantra, and sacred ceremony—led by Jitendra, Lisa, and Sagar, beloved ministers from the world-renowned spiritual community Ananda Village in Northern California.

Ananda Village was founded over 50 years ago as the first spiritual cooperative in service to Paramhansa Yogananda’s vision of “World Brotherhood Colonies.” Rooted in the ancient teachings of yoga and energized by daily meditation, joyful service, and deep divine friendship, the Ananda ministers carry the living vibration of Guru Paramhansa Yogananda and his direct disciple Swami Kriyananda into every chant, prayer, and offering.

This special event is a heart-opening Bhakti Yoga experience, where music becomes prayer, and chant becomes a portal into the soul’s deepest longing for divine union.

Surrounded by surreal ambiance and dreamlike light installations at FloridaRAMA’s Everglades Arena, guests will be transported into a realm of beauty, joy, and stillness. Through the power of Sanskrit and English chants, guided prayers, and a Vedic fire ceremony, participants will purify consciousness, still the mind, raise their energy and expand their hearts into ever deeper states of devotional soul- aspiration.

The evening includes:

• Sacred Chanting (Kirtan) to elevate the heart’s devotion
• Prayers and Soul-Reflections to receive and send peace and healing light for the world
• Vedic Mantra Ceremony to uplift and purify energy on all levels

Whether you’re a longtime yogi or simply seeking inner peace in these changing times, this event welcomes all to gather in sacred space, lift their voices together, and experience the healing power of devotional sound and spiritual community.
