Kirtan is pure joy! Kirtan is one of the practices of yoga that uplifts the heart and mind. It is soothing and removes mental clutter and emotional tension, liberating the positive energy lying dormant within the cells of the body, heart and mind.
Kirtan nights are a relaxing, joyful and energising evening of mantra, chanting, song and music.
Arrive 6:15pm for a 6:30pm start. First is the Mahamrityunjaya healing chant, followed by kirtan from 7pm.
"Side by side with the rigorous forms of yoga and the practice of meditation, melodies and the tender and delicate yoga of kirtan should also be practised. Sing kirtan for about half an hour, then sit quietly for meditation. Through kirtan you can liberate yourself from blocks and complexes. If you completely involve yourself in kirtan, when you sit for meditation, you will find that the highway is very clear. There will be no traffic jam on the mental plane."
Swami Satyananda
