Ashana Sophia
Enchanted Heart: A Night Of Kirtan And Devotional Songs
Thursday, October 22nd
7:00 pm

at the Maui Yoga Shala / Island Fresh Cafe – 381 Baldwin Ave, Paia

To have an enchanted heart is to remain touched by wonder—to let beauty, devotion, music, and love keep the inner world alive. An enchanted heart remembers that beneath the noise & pain of daily life, there is something sacred wanting to be felt: a quiet tenderness, a longing for truth, and a love that wants to be expressed. A bouquet of flowers that is your heart of hearts.
This evening is an invitation to awaken that place within us through devotional songs, kīrtan, and medicine music. Through voice, rhythm, mantra, and the shared presence of community, we create a sacred space where the heart can soften, open, remember, and become enchanted again. We gather not simply to listen to music, but to experience it as a doorway into connection—with ourselves, with one another, and with the Divine.
Perhaps now, more than ever, we need these gatherings. In a world that can feel hurried, divided, and overwhelming, coming together in song reminds us that we are not alone. We breathe together, sing together, listen together—and for a little while, the walls between us become thinner. May this be an evening to nourish the heart in beauty, awaken devotion, and remember the love that is always waiting within.

Bhakti or Devotion in Action:
Shared through the Bhakti Marga tradition by Mahavatar Babaji and Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda,
OM Chanting is a sacred practice of devotion, grace, and collective healing.In an OM Chanting Circle, many voices become one sacred vibration. Sound becomes prayer. Through sincere surrender, we open ourselves to the transforming power of Divine love.
OM Chanting is also seva — selfless service. We chant not only for ourselves, but as instruments of Divine grace, offering peace, love, and healing to the world around us.
All faiths, backgrounds, and spiritual paths are welcome. No particular belief is required — only an open heart.
Please share this invitation with anyone who may benefit from this sacred gathering.
