Words from Guru: Just Do Kirtan...
This ancient meditation practice of Kirtan, is the call-and-response singing of Vedic mantras. In this day and age of ongoing mental stimuli, which only causing us to further entangle our already busy minds.
Kirtan is used to unwind and calm this wondering mind.
It is also known as a musical journey of self-healing, a process that inadvertently helps bring the practitioner to identify with the here and now. This yogic practice is also being called mindfulness. This is the use of different methods to stabilize the mind.
Kirtan is simultaneously meditative and an exhilarating blissful activity. New evidence has shown that Kirtan has a direct effect on brain plasticity.
Usually it is traditionally accompanied with Indian instruments but in the contemporary practice, practitioners incorporate different musical instruments and styles but still maintaining its genuine authenticity.
Kirtan is filled with melody music and mantra with people responding to the words of the singer, clapping, swaying and dancing are purposefully performed to distract the mind. Everyone is welcome to join in with beautiful Kirtan meditation.
