*** Prema Mayi is a native of Chile, and lived there until the age of ten. Her parents and three brothers migrated to Spain and France, where their spiritual journey took a significant turn. Coming in contact with a Bhakti yoga ashram in France, they decided to leave behind their lives and embrace a new way of love and dedication that harmonized the journey of the soul in this human experience. She studied some of the arts of Vedic culture, such as drama, dance, Kirtan, mantra meditation, and the philosophy of Bhakti. Through extensive years of practice, she developed a strong relationship with Kirtan: Chanting mantras as a musical expression, a way of glorifying God and Goddess and our existence in this divine love affair. The practice began at 4:00 AM, dancing and chanting; entering the day as a sacred offering. she studied for many years under the guidance of her spiritual master, Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayan Maharaj, and traveling to India on Pilgrimage for many years, while deepening in the realms of love and devotion.
Discovering the power this sacred sound vibration, kirtan, offers, she now travels around the world with her sons, sharing a transformational experience and connection to divine source.
