In an exciting moment for the global kirtan community, devotional artist Jahnavi Harrison (Jahnavi Jivana Dasi) has been nominated for a 2026 Grammy Award for her latest album, Into the Forest. The Recording Academy announced the nominations earlier today, placing Harrison among the final contenders for Best New Age, Ambient or Chant Album at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards.
Earlier today, Harrison shared her heartfelt reaction in a post to her Facebook community, writing: “WOW. Into the Forest has been nominated for a Grammy!!! Got the news this morning and I’m still shocked. Had a good ol’ cry listening to it again and reliving the chapter of life that making this album spanned. The album is rich with the sincere prayers and heartfelt contributions of so many, and that makes this very meaningful. THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to listen.”
Released in 2024, Into the Forest is a contemplative, spacious work that blends mantra, acoustic textures, and reflective storytelling. On her website, Harrison describes the project as an inward pilgrimage: “The forest is a metaphor for the forest within the heart… the sacred, still, nurturing space inside which is vibrating in song and connecting us to the Divine.”
