Kirtan is a call-and-response style song or chant aimed to praise different forms of the divine. Bhajan refers to a style of singing together in unison. Our event will consist of collectively singing mantras (sanskrit affirmations) and simple uplifting songs- often called 'medicine songs.' We will also be opening discussion of spiritual ideas, Hindu mythology, & inviting guided meditations in-between songs.
Kirtan and Bhajan are forms of Bhakti Yoga - the yoga of devotion - which welcomes loving devotion to the apparent divinity of our individual experiences. This is a great event for anyone looking to explore a lesser known yet essential path of the yogic journey. The kirtan guides will be facilitating the music through live instrumentation and vocals.
We will also distribute song-sheets and demonstrate the lyrics of each song with fluid repetition. Participants will sing along as they connect to the melodies and words with deeper clarity and intensity.
Expect the transformative energy of Kirtan and Bhajan to develop through the course of each song, impacting both the individual and the environment in a positive light!
