Heart-opening kirtan to be held on Valentine’s Day

By Katie Delk | Feb. 14, 2020

Sitting on the floor, everyone breathes deeply as they sing rich, warm Tibetan-inspired mantras. On the ground with everyone else, Lee Mirabai Harrington, a 50-year-old from New York, leads the group.

Even if they are in the back of the crowded room, their eyes will flutter open when Harrington’s eyes rest on their face.

Florida began the 2019 season as a consensus top-10 team. However, the Gators limped into the postseason and were quickly eliminated from the Regionals. Now, with a No. 1 recruiting class in tow, UF is back in the top 10 with a No. 4 preseason ranking and returns talent on the mound and at the plate.
