What is Kirtan?Kirtan is transcendental spiritual music and a meditation practice also described as Bhakti Yoga or Nada Yoga. Its origins come from Eastern Indian and Budhist culture.Kirtan is a call and response chanting from the vocal leader to the audience, who then recites or echos back the same lyrics. By chanting in this way, the sounds and voices raise a very high conscious vibration that reverberates within and outside of you, opening up energy channels.This practice calms and quiets the mind. You don’t need to have any previous experience to attend a Kirtan. All spiritual faiths are welcome.
