O události
Welcome to Kirtan!
These sessions will be filled with Kirtans as usual; additionally I want to take you with me in a little bit of the practice of chanting mantras. We will chant Gayatri mantra 11 times and Mahamrtjunjaya mantra 11 times together.
Kirtan is, simply said, singing. We sing short Sanskrit lines, set to a simple melody, repeated for some time. Kirtan is the practice within yoga that works with feelings. Through singing kirtans we can bypass our busy minds and experience a heightened state of feeling and connection, and also encourage our authentic expression. Kirtan is the antidote to loneliness.
Chanting mantras work on the principle of sound-vibration; each sound vibrates with its own special frequency and so plays on their own specific strings within us. Mantras are a little more complex - but we will learn them together step by step, and chanting them can take us into pleasant meditative states.
No previous experience needed and no need to know Sanskrit. Your curiosity or interest is enough. You are welcome to join us - come as you are.
No registration needed.
