Hearts Harmony Kirtan

Kirtan Singers & Musicians

Heart’s Harmony Kirtan is Daniel and Beata — beloved partners whose shared path through yoga, tantra, and devotional practice opened their hearts deeply to the medicine of kirtan. Drawn by the joy, stillness, and connection found in sacred song, they have devoted themselves to the practice and sharing of bhakti music as a way of remembering the sacred within all things.

Their journey has been lovingly shaped by inspiring Vancouver teachers and guides including Gurnimit Singh, Harreson Sito, Neeraja Aptikar, and Nitai. Through chant, rhythm, and heartfelt presence, they hope to create a space of connection, celebration, and devotion — an offering of gratitude to life, love, and the divine mystery.

They are joined by dear friends Ankhara and Geetanjali Joshi. Geetanjali is a lifelong yogi and devotional practitioner who was raised with the daily tradition of kirtan and carries a deep reverence for sacred sound in both her personal and academic life. Ankhara brings a rich musical background along with years immersed in tantric and ceremonial traditions, weaving grounded presence, prayerful energy, and soulful expression into the collective experience.

Together, they warmly invite you to join in the spirit of celebrating our shared harmony — through voice, presence, prayer, and the simple remembrance that beneath all our differences, we belong to one another.
