Raas Leela Kirtana Releases “Sri Krishna Chaitanya” — A New Offering of Devotional Music
Released October 18, 2026 | Produced by Kosta Lois
A sacred chant brought to life through authentic Kirtan, heartfelt devotion, and the transformative power of sacred sound.
Raas Leela Kirtana is delighted to announce the release of “Sri Krishna Chaitanya,” a professionally recorded devotional chant celebrating the timeless tradition of Bhakti Yoga through the uplifting power of sacred music.
Officially released on October 18, 2026, this recording represents an important milestone in our journey to share the transformative experience of Kirtan with a wider audience. Rooted in the ancient practice of Sankirtan—the collective singing of divine names and mantras—this musical offering is an expression of love, devotion, and spiritual connection.
Through heartfelt vocals, traditional instrumentation, and the vibrant energy of devotional music, we invite listeners to pause, open their hearts, and experience the joy of chanting together, wherever they may be.

The Power of the Divine Name
“Sri Krishna Chaitanya” draws upon the sacred names associated with the Bhakti tradition, invoking the spirit of divine love, remembrance, and devotion.
The chant offers a simple yet profound invitation: to bring the mind into stillness, awaken the heart, and reconnect with the sacred through sound. Whether experienced as a meditation, a moment of prayer, or an invitation to sing along, this mantra creates space for inner reflection, joy, and connection.
For Raas Leela Kirtana, music is more than performance. It is a shared spiritual practice—a way to cultivate presence, uplift the spirit, and bring people together across backgrounds and traditions.
Through the repetition of sacred names, Sankirtan allows us to move beyond the distractions of everyday life and enter into a collective experience of devotion. No previous experience with Kirtan is necessary; everyone is welcome to listen, sing, and participate in their own way.
Bridging Ancient Tradition and Contemporary Sound
Based in Los Angeles, Raas Leela Kirtana brings together the rich heritage of India's Bhakti Yoga tradition with an accessible, contemporary musical expression.
The ensemble weaves traditional bhajans, sacred mantras, original compositions, and devotional chants inspired in part by the cosmic chants of Paramahansa Yogananda into an immersive musical experience. Our approach honors the depth and authenticity of traditional Kirtan while welcoming people of all backgrounds, regardless of musical experience or spiritual tradition.
With “Sri Krishna Chaitanya,” we bring this spirit into a professional studio recording, preserving the heartfelt intention behind our musical offering while sharing it with listeners around the world.

An Offering from Our Musical Journey
Since forming in 2019, Raas Leela Kirtana has continued to share the practice of Sankirtan through community gatherings, yoga spaces, spiritual centers, and concert experiences.
Each gathering is an opportunity to create a space where music becomes meditation, voices unite in collective devotion, and the heart can open through the simple yet profound act of chanting together.
The release of “Sri Krishna Chaitanya” marks an exciting step in our journey to share this music beyond our live gatherings. We hope this recording reaches new listeners, supports their personal spiritual practices, and inspires more people to experience the beauty of Kirtan in community.
May this chant bring peace to your mind, joy to your heart, and a deeper connection with the divine.
