The Maha Kirtan Band, a harmonious convergence of diverse musical backgrounds and impassioned spirits, united by their profound love for kirtan and yoga. Comprising of Maharaj Miller, Justin Rodriguez, and Jessica Ramsay, this eclectic ensemble weaves together a tapestry of musical influences that include rock, rap, Indian classical, folk, and jazz.
The Maha Kirtan Band found its roots at Maha Yoga Shala, where they discovered a shared passion for the transformative power of kirtan. Drawing inspiration from their unique musical histories, the band embarked on a journey to infuse traditional kirtan chants with a fusion of genres, creating a sound that is as dynamic and diverse as the musicians themselves.
From the vibrant energy of live performances across New England to gracing the stage at large events like Kula Yoga Festival, The Maha Kirtan Band has captivated audiences with their soul-stirring melodies and contagious devotion.
Their debut album, Heart Revival, crafted in the intimate confines of their home recording studios, not only marked a significant milestone but also served as the crucible for honing their sound.
The Maha Kirtan Band invites you to join them on a journey where diverse influences converge, and the power of collective love transforms every chant into a transcendent experience.

What is Kirtan?
Kirtan is transcendental spiritual music and a meditation practice also described as Bhakti Yoga or Nada Yoga. Its origins come from Eastern Indian and Budhist culture. In its tradition, Kirtan is recited as a call and response chanting from the vocal leader to the audience, who then recites or echos back the same lyrics. By chanting in this way, the sounds and voices raise a very high conscious vibration that reverberates within and outside of you, opening up energy channels. This practice calms and quiets the mind. You don't need to have any previous experience to attend a Kirtan. All spiritual faiths are welcome.
