Experience a One-of-a-kind Global Gathering on Bhakti Yoga


Join us for the 2nd Annual Bhakti Yoga Conference, an immersive online gathering exploring devotion as a living, relational path—one that transforms not only individual hearts, but the communities we belong to.

At a time when many feel increasingly fragmented, isolated, or spiritually disconnected, this conference asks a timeless and urgently relevant question:

How does devotion create communities that uplift, heal, and transform the human heart?

Bhakti Yoga—the yoga of love and devotion—has never been a solitary path. It unfolds through relationship: between teacher and student, friend and friend, practitioner and community. Rooted in practices such as chanting, study, service, and sacred association, bhakti offers a way of living that cultivates belonging, humility, trust, and shared purpose.

This conference brings together scholars, spiritual teachers, health professionals, community builders, and thought leaders to explore bhakti not only as philosophy or theology, but as lived wisdom—a practical path for navigating the emotional, relational, and ethical challenges of modern life.

Through heartfelt talks, contemplative inquiry, and embodied practice, participants will explore how devotional traditions model:

  • Sacred community and meaningful belonging

  • Healthy relationships and ethical leadership

  • Emotional resilience, humility, and service

  • Love as a transformative force in daily life

By opening at Harvard University, concluding at Oxford University, and welcoming a global online audience, the conference bridges ancient wisdom and contemporary inquiry, honoring both academic depth and embodied devotion. More than a conference, this is an invitation into a shared space of listening, reflection, and sincere practice.

Our aspiration is not only to speak about sacred community—but to model it. Together, we aim to create an atmosphere of reverence, dialogue, and mutual care, offering a living expression of bhakti’s enduring gift:
the power of love, practiced together, to transform individuals and the communities they call home.

Event Highlights

  • Live online presentations from globally respected spiritual teachers and scholars

  • Thought-provoking discussions on devotion, community, and modern life

  • Moderated conversations and Q&A sessions

  • A rare academic–spiritual collaboration hosted at Harvard, Oxford, and online

  • An inclusive, heart-centered gathering open to seekers of all backgrounds and traditions

Join us for this rare and transformative gathering—an invitation to remember that the path of love is not walked alone.
