Kirtan Chanting

What is Kirtan Chanting?

Kirtan is one of the central practices of Bhakti Yoga. It is call-and-response chanting, set to music and shared with others. You don’t need to know the words, hold a tune, or “be spiritual” in any way. You simply come as you are.

Something powerful happens in kirtan:

Sound becomes meditation.

Music dissolves self-consciousness.

Breath links us together.

The heart opens naturally.

It can be uplifting, grounding, emotional, clarifying, or deeply peaceful. No two people experience it in the same way, and that is the beauty of it.
