What is Kirtan?

​

Kirtan is a call and response chant that helps bring you to a joyful, meditative state. It is our vision that Kirtan with Love, Light and Harmony fosters Universal Community, opening a space to recognize and remember that we are all connected on a vibrational level. 

According to kirtan artist and bhakti yoga educator David Newman, kirtan means “to praise that which is exalted”—aka, the divine. The word “kirtan” also stems from a Sanskrit root that means “to cut through,” he says, so kirtan is also “a practice for cutting through the idea of separation, for connecting to our hearts and connecting to the moment through sound.
