"Kirtan is ultimately something which cannot be explained by words - it has to be experienced. It's always a higher connection - even if you are not consciously feeling it. It's alive, progressive, and rich with the fine nuances of an unfolding relationship."
Sometimes it may act as a mirror which reveals to you the pulse of your inner life.
How can you describe the relish of honey, the emotion of love, or the event of giving birth? In some mysterious way, kirtan can be compared with all of that - but then it is also completely different.
Words can show us the direction in which to look for the kirtan-experience, but only when you sit down, move towards your inner space, and then sing out, will you start to know what kirtan really is.
Because at that time your soul will rise up and start to dance..."
