In the world of modern music, where trends and profits can often dictate the soundscape, Darren Marc Levene offers a refreshing and deeply spiritual alternative. A world-renowned kirtan artist, singer-songwriter, sound healer, reiki master teacher, and intuitive guide based in Santa Barbara, CA, Darren’s artistry is dedicated to healing and inspiring the soul. His latest offering, ‘Sita Ram,’ is a beautiful testament to this mission, born from his profound love and devotion for God.

At just over eight minutes in length, ‘Sita Ram’ is a gentle yet powerful journey of self-reflection. It begins with a serene blend of acoustic guitar and shared vocals, gently establishing a calm, easy-flowing energy. As the song and mantra unfolds, the addition of lingering strings introduces a classical style, weaving into the overall harmony to create an all-encompassing moment. It’s a song where the instrumentals gradually become more emboldened and rich, filling the space and evoking a warm, folk prayer.

For those unfamiliar with Darren’s offerings and devotion to healing, awakening, and inspiring the soul, ‘Sita Ram’ is a mantra – a sound vibration designed to still the mind and open the heart to greater love and compassion. This particular mantra is believed to help clear the mind and ignite the fire of devotion within.

Darren’s dedication to his faith and teachings extends well beyond recordings. He regularly leads kirtan concerts at yoga studios and festivals across the globe. You can catch his next festival performance at the Catskill Mountain Yoga Festival on July 26, 2025. Following this, his ‘Be Love’ tour is set to commence in Florida in January 2026, offering even more opportunities to experience his transformative music live.

‘Sita Ram’ is an invitation to connect with something deeper, a soothing balm for the soul in turbulent times. You can stream ‘Sita Ram’ now on Darren’s website and embark on your own journey of inner peace and devotion. For more, you can also connect with Darren directly on Instagram.
