I am so grateful to be introduced to ShantiMaya. I have attended three of their events recently and have loved every minute. They are beautiful human beings and are fabulous kirtan wallahs

I was hooked. It’s everything I love!

So incredibly powerful !  Loved your set !

Missy B. – Bhakta

This serene duo came to a retreat I hosted to enhance our programming through chanting.  The stories they told and the sounds they created heighten our souls in ways we could never have imagined! The laughter, tears and echoes of harmony filled our mind, body and souls for the remainder of the retreat. I highly recommend having them at any retreat as an introduction to Kirtan or for those who simply want to bask in the glory of bhakti.

Tawny Stowe – Yoga Instructor and Retreat Facilitator

ShantiMaya Kirtan will fill your heart – free your soul – and infuse amazing music and energy into your gathering. 

Their passion and dedication to Kirtan is infectious and I cannot wait to be in the same space with them again some time soon. I highly recommend ShantiMaya for your retreat – event – workshop or gathering.

M K Amos – Yoga Instructor and Retreat Facilitator 

I was whisked away into a meditative state as these two beautiful souls played.  As different songs played, what I experienced ranged from a light airy calm, an empowered warrior, to a fun free child feeling.  The vibes from these musicians are a gift of love and magic.  The were very knowledgeable in sharing the ancient stories and culture of each song, which gave deep soul meaning.  We all experienced a great personal soul journey.

J. Smith – Bhakta

When I heard you doing sound check at BITW my heart stood still.  It was simply magical. And then if that wasn’t enough you played Wish You Were Here and Pigs on the Wing. I never heard anything quite like that. Best sound check ever!

M J Ganesh – Kirtan Singer

I always love to hear the depth of the stories of the deities that bill shares with us! he’s an encyclopedia!

Shantdeep – Kirtan Singer

You two are adorable – the consummate Kirtan Kouple!

Brenda P. – Kirtan Singer

I’m so happy to have gotten the chance to meet these Wonderful Souls and to have sung with them. A time I won’t soon forget! Love you!

Sheila H. – Bhakta

LOVE these two !!
