Description - Kirtan is a meditational and devotional chanting experience usually set to music. Just like yoga, skydiving, and falling in love, it’s one of those things you need to experience to truly understand what it does and how good it can feel. Kirtan refers to chanting – One of the leading practices of yoga. Chanting is a form of meditation that is joyful and fun. Classic Indian instruments, such as the harmonium and drum accompany the chant, while simple Sanskrit mantras are repeated. There’s no need to be shy as everyone’s voices blend together alongside the rhythm from the drums and the melody from the harmonium. Many people find it challenging to sit and meditate, but with kirtan, the struggle of ‘turning off’ or ’emptying’ your mind melts away as you focus solely on the singing, sound, music, and mantras. A sitting of the mind is an easy, welcome effect of this practice as well as a natural feeling of uplifting joy and inner peace.
