The Power of the Divine in the World
Our Mission
To support community gatherings focused on kirtan and sacred song, share the harmony of the world’s spiritual traditions, and support “Modern Mystics with Mission Hearts to Love and Serve All, for the Healing of the World.”
Who We Are
Yoga Maya Rising is a 501(c)(3) religious non-profit. Guided by the ideal of Unity in Diversity - inspired and blessed by the Sri Ramakrishna/Sarada Universal Temple in Ganges, Michigan - we celebrate the simultaneous uniqueness and Oneness of all paths and each individual’s unique spiritual journey.
Events
For over 15 years Full Moon Kirtan Michigan has served as a place where kirtan leaders gather, free of sectarian teachings, to share the experience of call-and-response yogic chanting (kirtan). The Yoga Maya Rising non-profit aims to support Full Moon Kirtan, the New Moon Bhakti Circle, and other kirtan and bhakti events exploring the origins of kirtan and bhakti practices from an interfaith perspective.
