Kirtan with Shubalananda

Shubulananda
Shubulananda

Shubalananda leads us in the ancient tradition of Kirtan every monday night at 7:30pm.

The Singing of Kirtan goes back a thousand years in India. Created by ancient Rishis from the seed mantras of the Vedas, the sounds are designed to resonate with your chakras to help move the energy up your spine. Then, they put these sounds, like Om Namah Shivaya, or SitaRam, to a simple melody. Kirtan is an easy practice. We sing the kirtan, call and response style, over and over, with more and more Bhava (spiritual emotion, or Ray Charles like soul) until the singers enter higher planes of consciousness. The wonderful thing about Kirtan is that it is fun. Other forms of sadhana can be strenuous, but Kirtan just flows from everyone's connection to music. Even those who feel they do not have a good voice discover themselves singing on pitch, in time. It is an excellent way to discover your true voice, singing these Sanskrit seed mantras.
