Kirtan with Shubalananda
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.
