The singer and actress gave fans a glimpse into her spiritual journey, celebrating Janmashtami with a special devotional music release.

August 20, 2025: Willow Smith is still on her spiritual journey. She released a new devotional song on Janmashtami, which has gotten a lot of attention from fans and the media. The singer and actress, who is the daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, recently posted on social media about her latest musical project, which shows how deeply she is involved in Hindu traditions.

Willow’s Important Spiritual Moment

The new song, “Govinda Nights,” is a devotional song that Londrelle and I worked on together. To celebrate the release, Willow posted a bunch of pictures on her Instagram that showed fans how she celebrated Janmashtami. In the images, she is seen standing in front of a lovely picture of Radha-Krishna, carrying a chanting bag, and doing aarti at the ISKCON temple. She looked quite focused on the spiritual ceremonies with a Vaishnav tika on her forehead.

Willow has combined her work with her spiritual views before. She worked with musician Jahnavi Harrison on Sanskrit mantra recordings before, including the EP “R I S E” and the single “Surrender (Krishna Keshava).” The two met during a Kirtan event held by Jay Shetty. Her most recent post also had a slide of her playing the guitar while chanting, which showed how she is still trying to mix modern music with religious traditions.

The setting of her journey
Willow’s public acceptance of Hindu customs is part of a larger spiritual journey that her family has also been on in their own ways. Will Smith, her father, has said that he doesn’t like to be labeled as religious. Jada Pinkett, her mother, has used Scientology teachings without really joining the organization.

Some fans were worried after Willow posted a sad selfie with a sad comment, however this post comes after that. In comparison, her recent post shows a calm and thoughtful side of her existence. It also shows that she is prepared to be honest about her journey, which has included talking openly about her relationships and sexuality in the past.

As Willow continues to mix her work with her faith, her fans appear eager to see and learn about this one-of-a-kind path.
