Saturday, November 21—Divine Kirtan

6:00pm-7:30pm

 

A kirtan is a spiritual gathering in which sacred mantras are chanted--usually in a call and response fashion--for the purpose of elevating the aspirant's consciousness closer to our true nature: pure Bliss.  Chanting mantra moves one beyond the mind and body, beyond thought, and into the Self. The miraculous effects cannot be explained in words, only experienced. No musical background is necessary, and in fact it does not even matter if the notes are sung correctly. The real practice of chanting mantra comes from offering whatever you have in your heart in devotion to God.
