Jahnavi Harrison is a musician, writer, artist and practitioner of bhakti-yoga. She spent her formative years at Bhaktivedanta Manor in England, in a rich environment where mantra chanting and sacred art were a part of every day life. With a background in Western and Eastern classical music and dance, she pursues a path of self realisation and service through artistic expression. For nearly 20 years she has offered her voice and violin playing in the performance of original spiritual music and call-and-response mantra kirtan, in venues as diverse as corporates, schools, prisons, theaters, hospitals, yoga studios and even temples.
She aspires to create art and facilitate experiences which heal, uplift and nourish the spirit. Over the years Jahnavi has collaborated regularly with artists such as Deva Premal and Miten, Jai Uttal, Krishna Das, Snatam Kaur, Gaura Vani, and most recently, with Willow Smith with the EP ‘Rise’ (2020). **Her 2024 album, _Into the Forest_, earned her a 2026 Grammy Award nomination for Best New Age, Ambient or Chant Album.** Now based in California; she regularly leads live gatherings, sound bath experiences, concerts and retreats.
