To know a little more about Śraddhā...

“Music ignites love and instills hope. It has countless voices and instruments. It uplifts, inspires, strengthens and invigorates…Music melts the hardest hearts…If there is anything in this world that can change the heart of a human very quickly is music and dance."
—Swami Sivananda, Bliss Divine

Caroline Śraddhā Monette’s journey into kirtan began in 2007 during a transformative trip to Australia, where she first experienced the deeply calming and energizing effects of mantra chanting. Captivated by the powerful connection kirtan creates, Śraddhā embraced this practice as a way to uplift and unite communities. Since then, she has immersed herself in the study of Sanskrit, mantras, yoga, and meditation, which has shaped her approach as a facilitator. Whether leading kirtan at festivals, retreats, or intimate gatherings, her unique voice and grounded energy create a space where participants can release, elevate, and connect. Śraddhā released her debut kirtan album, Jai Hanuman, sharing her devotion and passion for this timeless practice.
