About Us

The Serene Swan is a place where melody, rhythm and sacred verses come together in a confluence of harmony. We bring you music that inspires the soul – kirtans, bhajans, Vedic chants, mantras and meditations from India’s rich tradition of sacred music.

Our songs and sacred chants feature the soothing voices of artistes Sai Ganesh Nagpal and Saraswati Nagpal.

As you listen, let the vibrant rhythms of Kirtan make your spirits soar; feel ancient Sanskrit verses work their magic on you; allow the noises of the mundane to fall away as you surround yourself with an aura of serenity.

Go a step further, and nurture and develop your own unique voice! We offer you a comprehensive Music Education program with online and in-person vocal lessons, as well as the opportunity to participate in sacred music workshops at different locations.

Thank you for being here. We hope you take back with you a flavour of the magic that we have experienced while creating the music on offer here at The Serene Swan!

Regards,

The Serene Swan Team

“For me, music is like water, it splashes upon the shores of the soul, dissolving all that comes in its way in harmonious waves of compassion.
I sing because I am in love with life itself.”
