Calling the leader in you

Dear Naad Yogi,

Are you seeking deeper connection, love, and a sense of belonging in daily life? We all experience moments of uncertainty, but true connection starts from within.

Dukh Bhanjan is a full night of meditation and contemplation—a sacred space where we come together as Sangat to reconnect, express, serve, and heal. It is a time to open our hearts, share our experiences, and support one another on a journey of deep transformation.

This year, Raj Academy and Naad Yoga Council are offering a new opportunity—one that goes beyond mere participation. We invite you to step forward, integrate your learnings, and actively contribute to this transformative experience. Dukh Bhanjan is not just a night of meditation; it is a step toward your own expansion in Naad Yoga.


THE PROPOSAL

You have explored the power of sound. You have felt its impact on your mind, enhancing your well-being and inner connection. Now is the time to take it to the next level.

Dukh Bhanjan is your space to integrate, practice, and share. It is not just an event; it is an experience where you embody what you have learned and become the creator of this sacred sound. Be part of it from Germany, England, Spain, France or India.


WHY JOIN ACTIVELY? 

  •  Deepen your learning – Dukh Bhanjan provides the perfect space to revisit and apply the knowledge gained in your Naad Yoga courses.
  • Create and share your compositions – Take the next step in your growth with balance and commitment, bringing your voice into the world.
  • Share the wisdom of sacred sound – Many can benefit from the healing and well-being that the right sound brings.
  • Develop your leadership skills – Be a leader, holding space for the Sangat alongside the team.

WHAT WE OFFER YOU

  • Support in your review – We accompany you throughout this journey of integration and deepening.
  • Three workshops led by Raj Academy and the Naad Yoga Council that will support the composition process and include a review of each participant’s composition.
  • A space to share in Sangat – Join a community that supports and uplifts each other.

Your participation not only enriches your own journey but also strengthens the entire Naad Yoga community.

HOW TO BE AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF DUKH BHANJAN 

To ensure that Dukh Bhanjan remains an authentic, profound, and well-organized experience, we have established some simple guidelines:

  1. Be a member of the Naad Yoga Council (NYC). NYC provides guidance, tutoring, and a unique practice space. Being a member allows us to continue offering these resources and a strong support system for all Naad Yogis. 
  2. Participate in the organization of the event. Dukh Bhanjan is a beautiful composition where we all contribute. Its strength comes from the commitment of those who make it possible. All participants receiving support will be part of a working group within the event—this is an opportunity to connect, learn, and contribute to this sacred space.
  3. Only Naad Yogis who have studied Gurmat Kirtan can lead on stage.  To maintain the integrity and depth of the experience, only those who have studied under Professor Surinder Singh – Yogi of sound  as part of the Naad Yoga Teacher Training (NYTT) or Sound Therapist programs can take a leading role on stage.

HOW THE EVENT IS ORGANIZED
To ensure Dukh Bhanjan runs smoothly and remains a meaningful experience, active members are organized into working groups dedicated to communication and logistical support. All tasks are supervised by the local night leader.
