Kirtan Rock Fest: January 7th 2012

January 6, 2012

WHAT IS KIRTAN?

Kirtan is the calling, crying and reaching across to a sacred place, away from the duality of material existence. It diggs deep into the well of the heart creating  a sacred place in the  heart.

Kirtan is a type of devotional yoga or  BHAKTI YOGA, rooted in India over 5000 years ago.  It is a group practice of chanting ancient Vedic  mantras, accompanied by instruments including the harmonium, drums,flutes and hand cymbals.  It is often done in a singing call and response between the musicians and the participants.

Kirtan singing opens the  heart, strengthens the chakras, creates a sense of community, and takes us far away from our troubled mind.  We often get acarried away with our mind and habits that we do not realise where we are or what we are doing. It only takes  a few mantras to stabilise and soothe our internal environment.
