What is Bhakti? What is this path of “devotional service?” Why do we wear tilak? Why do we wear sacred beads on our necks? How do we progress in our Bhakti? No question is too small or too big for your tribe. When dreaming up an idea for creating a sanga or a community, our ultimate goal was to create:

• A safe space where all are welcome
• A space to be able to answer and address a host of different questions that we might have encountered throughout the years. 
• A place to help others find their tribe. 

Simple Spirituality aims to be that space. We will have bi-weekly meetings online with like minded spiritualists in order to check in with each other and speak about many of these questions, ranging from the very beginnings of Bhakti all the way up to what our proposed goals are within our devotional life. This is a space to serve together, because by serving with one another and hearing from one another we grow together and create the strongest, most unbreakable bonds in the entire universe.

1. Online sanga with like minded seekers
2. Safe space to ask questions about the Bhakti path 
3. Wisdom talks and person guidance

For as long as she can remember, Kirtan or the Bhakti Yoga practice of mantra meditation through music has been the focus of Acyuta Gopi‘s life. The art of writing soon took up residence in the spaces of her heart not occupied by music, and the transformative power of prayer soon followed suit. With the blessings of her family and teachers, Acyuta has had the amazing fortune to travel the world singing, writing, and witnessing those heart transformations that she loves so much, first hand. Conducting workshops, classes and seminars on kirtan has absolutely changed her life for the better, and she can’t think of a better way to live. Now along with her family, she’s focused her efforts on the NYC community and pouring her heart into the beautiful practices of Kirtan, writing, and the incredibly transformative tradition of Bhakti Yoga.
