What is kirtan?

In old times the most important entertainment was singing together. Especially in spiritual circles people the world over have opened their hearts to God in vibrant gospels, group chanting and singing sessions – and experienced Higher Connection.

Kirtan is the music of the soul.  It offers us the genuine opportunity to enter into the presence of the Divine. This happens by the power of spiritual sound vibration.
Kirtan takes our soul like a refreshing, crystal-clear river and carries it into the spiritual dimension. One just needs to sing and stay connected.

What is the experience like?

After some time of singing one experiences how the constant chatter of the mind stops. The profound feeling of inner peace rises to our consciousness.
But more is coming!
As the kirtan stream continues to flow, it carries the chanter into the spiritual heart, where the soul resides, and next to it the Supreme. There it brings about an ecstatic love meeting of almost volcanic proportions: The Yoga with the Divine.

This world is held together and pervaded by vibrations, which make the tiniest subatomic parts move in different frequencies. Liberation from this world – say the ancient Vedas – also comes by the spiritual sound vibration.

Loose yourself to find yourself – join the Yoga of Music.
