Maha Kumbh 2025: Neeti Mohan on her devotional awakening, ‘I am prepared to take my spirituality to the next level’
Neeti Mohan presented her first bhajan sandhya at the ongoing Mela that inspired her to work on her first spiritual album
Some experiences can have a profound impact on our life. In singer and performer Neeti Mohan’s case, a visit to the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh) led to her “divine and spiritual awakening” as an artiste.
While Neeti has released a few devotional singles in the past, it was her first bhajan sandhya at the ongoing Mela that inspired her to work on her first bhajan album. She says, “My first album of devotional songs will be out soon, and I will credit it to my Maha Kumbh sojourn.” The singer says that a chance meeting with a spiritual guru led her to visit the festival: “I met Jagatguru Rambhadracharya ji last December in Mumbai. After listening to me sing for a few seconds, he said, ‘Yahan nahin, kumbh mein aa ke sunana’. I prepared for a month to stage my bhajan recital at the akhara.”
She adds, “Film songs, playback mein hi hum itna busy ho jaate hai that spirituality becomes rare. Life becomes completely about work, band, shows and travelling, and matters like bhakti takes a backseat. Today, I am more prepared to take this side of mine to the next level.”
