Vraj Mohan is an international Kirtan artist from France who has lived in Ashrams in India since his childhood. He grew up with Kirtan being a daily part of his life and started leading Kirtans from a very young age. At 16, he joined a Bhakti Yoga Ashram as a monk, studying, performing, and perfecting his craft as a musician. His main Seva (selfless service) was to perform Kirtan, making hearts dance to the rhythm of his Mridanga drum. He has since travelled to over 25 countries, singing Kirtan and inspiring communities on the path of Bhakti Yoga. Vraj Mohan is a band member of the internationally renowned band the KIRTANIYAS and Co-founder of Sriyam. He is currently working on his premiere album under Sriyam Records. He has been living in Rishikesh for over a year and holds regular Kirtans all around town when he’s not touring.

Tarini is a healer and spiritual seeker who is deeply connected to the wisdom of the ages and all things holistic. Born and raised in the bustling cities of India, Tarini has journeyed through the rich tapestry of her country's diverse cultures and spiritual traditions from a young age. Her path to self-discovery and healing began as a quest for inner peace, leading her to embrace the transformative practices of meditation, energy work, and mantra chanting. With her skills as a professional sound healer and Reiki master, Tarini weaves her understanding of tantric and vedic practices to help others find that sweet spot of balance and serenity.

Estella (estella_star) is the creator of the Conscious Buddy Community (@consciousbuddy), Back To The Roots Festival (@backtotherootsfest) and the Freedom Dance events. She is an energy worker, ancestral healer, Yoga teacher & plant medicine facilitator and has been working with the human mind, body, and spirit for 20 years. Estella's initiation took place in Mexico after already working and offering cacao at her events for 8 years, to then working with the Mayan lineages to deepen her connection to the plant medicine of cacao. This then took her to the jungle of Chiapas where she spent time with the community there, drumming and praying on the land to grant permission to work with this cacao in community gatherings. The medicine is fermented and processed naturally with no machinery and has a gentle effect opening up the heart and inviting in presence with the intention of connection to yourself and the community you share this ceremony with.

At this beautiful venue we bring to you a unique vintage sound system delivered by James (DJ, Producer, Founder & Creative Director from Vaulted Sound UK) lighting & world famous @sosacredart masterpieces as your backdrop.

Come and hang out with us on this special day, together to offer our prayers for world peace.
