FAQ

  • What if I am unavailable during the training?

    Not a problem! We make a recording available shortly after each session. This can be for people who can’t attend a portion of the training, or for our friends in a different time zone. We also stay connected via a private group page to share material and get to know each other better.

  • What if I don’t have a harmonium?

    A keyboard is a good alternative! You can purchase an inexpensive one before you dive into buying a harmonium. All of the chords we provide work on other instruments, too- guitar, Ukelele, etc… However, the training is specifically for harmonium/keyboards. Please note that all participants must provide their own instrument. If you’d like to join the training and are interested in buying a harmonium, email us for recommendations.

  • Do I need any experience to participate?

    No musical or keyboard experience needed! This training is for you, and you will leave playing and chanting kirtan!

  • What if I already know how to play my harmonium?

    All are welcome to this training! Being together in Bhakti Satsang is a blessing, and so important in our lives. Even if you already know how to play, you will learn new mantras to add to your kirtans, new techniques to musically uplift your kirtan and get dedicated bhakti and kirtan practice in a loving and supportive group, and have fun!

  • I have already taken a few trainings with Govind Das. Will these be new songs?

    YES! We teach new mantras during every Module! Many of our students enroll in all of the Modules, to keep their practice and learning.
