SantVani Festival
November 20–22, 2026
Bodhigram Empowerment Centre
Thano Village, Dehradun
कबीरा मन निर्मल भया, जैसे गंगा नीर।
तब पाछैं लगा हरि फिरै, कहत – ‘कबीर, कबीर’।
Kabir says: When the mind becomes pure, like the waters of the Ganga;
then even the Divine follows, calling out – ‘Kabir, Kabir.’
O Saadho,
SantVani Festival is a sacred invitation to return to yourself – to that purity, to your truest essence, through the timeless guidance of mystic saints like Kabir Das, Meera Bai, Bulleh Shah, and many others.
The festival is a celebration of their eternal wisdom, expressed through soulful music, satsangs, storytelling, and community gatherings. For three days, seekers, artists, and listeners will come together to immerse in song, spirit, and sangat, creating a space of reflection, connection, and joy.
Join us as we walk together on this journey of music, wisdom, and togetherness – a celebration of the soul and the eternal wisdom of the saints.
Why SantVani?
We live in an age of constant noise.
The saints remind us how to listen.
They remind us that happiness cannot be purchased, truth cannot be borrowed, and love cannot be manufactured.
Kabir questioned blind beliefs.
Meera embodied fearless devotion.
Bulleh Shah dissolved divisions.
Lalleshwari invited us inward.
Akka Mahadevi walked the path of radical freedom.
Across languages, cultures, and centuries, their voices continue to ask the same timeless questions:
Who am I?
What is freedom?
What is love?
How does one live fully?
SantVani is an invitation to explore these questions - through music, through artistic expressions, through silence, through listening, through discussion, and through experience.
Guru-Jan/Artists for SantVani Festival 2026
At SantVani Festival, our Guru-Jan are not just artists, they are carriers of timeless wisdom, voices of devotion, and companions on the path of truth. Through their music, stories, and satsangs, they help us reconnect with the essence of mystic saints.
Come, listen with an open heart, and allow their songs and words to awaken something deep within.
