What is Kirtan? Kirtan is a form of devotional chanting whose roots reach back over 500 years to India. It is a practice of call-and-response chanting that involves both performers and the audience, creating an intimate, interactive, and communal experience.

• Inclusivity & Accessibility - Regardless of musical or spiritual background, the emphasis is on heartful participation.
• Musical Meditation - The repetitive nature of the chants and melodies allows participants to immerse themselves deeply, making it akin to a musical meditation.
• Universal Themes - Kirtan has its roots in Hindu traditions, and its themes—love, unity, peace, and devotion—are universal. You'll often find chants in various languages, including Sanskrit, Hindi, and even English.
• Elevation of Spirit - Many who attend kirtan events describe feelings of joy, peace, and interconnectedness. It's not just music; it's a spiritual meditation facilitated by sound.

In essence, Kirtan is a bridge between the singer, the listener, and the divine, using the vehicle of melodious chants. It offers an opportunity to quiet the mind and open the heart.
