Kirtan is an ancient hindu devotional music, a form of bhakti yoga, a unique gateway to be in touch with the divine presence, And a chance to open our hearts, in a sacred ceremony. We will start with a meditation, and then through chanting and repeating these many different names of gods and goddesses (mantras), we enter in a transcendental state, a space where the ego is dissolved, and we are one with everything. You will get served Mahara’s special cup of cacao.
“By singing these prayerers, we join a stream of consciousness and devotion that has been flowing for centuries.”
