The Sankirtana
Sankirtana is a collective of artists curated and led by Raman Acharya, born from a simple, powerful intention:
to bring music back to its heart—where sound is an offering, not a performance.
Rooted in the spirit of co-creation, Sankirtana brings together musicians from Raman’s close circle—artists who share a devotion to creating moments of joy, stillness, and connection through music.
The collective blends traditional compositions with fresh, heartfelt improvisations, offering experiences that feel alive, spontaneous, and deeply human.
Each Sankirtana gathering is different, tuned to the space, the people, and the shared spirit of the moment.
Ideal for

– Cultural and spiritual programs
– Conscious community gatherings
