This is a guided meditation class following traditional Indian teachings of Kundalini Yoga and in particular the Siddha Yoga tradition.
( The objective of this type of Yoga is to transform the Yogi into a Siddha- or enlightened person- within their lifetime). The class consists of didactic teaching from Hindu and Yogic texts such as Vijnana Bhairava, the Upanishads etc that allow the student to understand the nature of Self, breath, chakras, mudras and the nature of Truth. The knowledge will be used to then have the student "experience" higher states of awareness and transcendency themselves. The class is free of religious dogma but terms used are in Sanskrit and follow Indian teaching. No prior experience with meditation is required.
Milind Dhond has studied Kundalini Yoga under Swami Radhikananda from the SIddha Yoga Ashram in Pune India for the last 15 years.
He has authored Journey to Zero
(an interpretation of Vijnana Bhairava- a yoga text on meditation techniques and Elixir of Mystical Experience- an interpretation of Saint Jnaneshwars text Amrutanubhava- examining the nature of consciousness, and the experience of truth)
He travels and teaches meditation workshops. He is a cardiologist at Northbay Hospital in Fairfield, Professor of Medicine at UC Davis and a sixth degree blackbelt and Professor of Jujitsu. He resides in Davis with his 3 children.

What is Kirtan?
The practice of kirtan, call and response chanting, is a participatory music experience that originated in India about 500 years ago. It is a devotional practice known as Bhakti Yoga.
Like other forms of yoga, Bhakti Yoga, is about connection. Connection to divinity, connection to our true selves, connection to others.
Kirtan uses the repetition of Sanskrit mantras, mystical vibrations encased in a sound structure, to help us to tap into sacred energies that serve to quiet our mind and open our heart.
Tim Jordan
My journey with Kirtan began during a Yoga Teacher Training in South India in 2009. There was something about chanting the names of the Divine on a daily basis that stirred something deep inside me. Having grown up in a strongly religious environment in the South, I was very familiar with devotional practices. However, nothing had ever touched me the way that Kirtan did. I witnessed its power to open the heart and to transcend both culture and religion. In India I sat with Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians, and people with no religious affiliation, all singing these sacred Sanskrit mantras with such joy and devotion.
