Hanuman Jayanti Festival– Saturday, April 12

11 AM, Hanuman Chalisa recitation 11 times (Free Event – All Are Welcome!)

Hanuman Jayanti is the celebration of Hanuman’s birth, the embodiment of selfless service, strength, and devotion to Sri Ram. Together, we will chant the Hanuman Chalisa 11 times, invoking his grace and protection. The morning of devotion will conclude with prasad lunch.

1  to 2 PM, Prasad Lunch 

2 to 4 PM, Kirtan with Sharanam Anandma

We are incredibly blessed to welcome Sharanam Anandama, a lifelong seeker, musician, and spiritual adventurer whose journey spans over five decades of devotion, music, and service. From the heart of San Francisco’s Flower Power movement to the sacred gatherings of Neem Karoli Baba’s devotees, Sharanam has been deeply immersed in the world of bhakti, kirtan, and dharma.

A Journey Through Bhakti and Music

In 1973, at a major concert in San Francisco’s legendary Winterland, Sharanam had a life-changing encounter with Neem Karoli Baba’s presence through Ram Dass and the early kirtan pioneers—Krishna Das, Bhagavan Das, and Jai Uttal. This experience set him on an irreversible path toward yoga, kirtan chanting, and Eastern spirituality, transforming his life into one of devotion and musical expression

Bhakti Dham is a space for all to share in this divine offering. While attendance is open for Kirtan, donations to Sharanam are welcomed (suggested $15-$20, voluntary, all are welcome)
