About

 

Kirtan, which in Sanskrit literally means  “to praise what is exalted,” fosters The Divine Relationship. Kirtan is devotional yogic chanting, done in a call and response form, usually with the help of musical instruments, the most important being our voices.  The words or phrases chanted during a kirtan are usually the ancient, sacred Sanskrit mantras of India.  Kirtan is an integral practice of Bhakti Yoga:  The Yoga of Devotion.   

Chanting The Name in any language embodies the potential to evoke an experience of the Divine.  Chanting opens and purifies the heart. It allows us to become aware of the constant flow of love that surrounds us and emanates from us at all times.  As we repeat the name we are continually reminded of our connection to the Divine.  Kirtan is an easy yet powerful yogic practice that has no prerequisites or requirements for participation.  It is said that Kirtan is a complete yogic path, which when practiced with devotion, can lead to the goal of Realization of the Self.
