545pm Kirtan (Devotional Chanting) + Monthly Birthdays' Social

About this event

Join us at the weekly Kirtan and in celebrating all current month's birthdays! Welcome, please join our community for call and response Kirtan & Chai, chanting mantras and devotional songs. Kirtan is immediately after the weekly SoundBath & Prana Lifeforce Healing (430pm-530pm). It is for everyone, participate or just enjoy the energy / rhythms. Welcome to bring, but not required, a vegan/vegetarian dish to share for social after the Kirtan. What is Kirtan: Kirtan is the Yoga of Devotion (Bhakti Yoga). Derived from a Sanskrit root meaning to call, recite, praise, or glorify, put simply, kirtan is the act of praising and glorifying the Divine. Why Kirtan: Chanting Kirtan is a devotional practice that helps to uplift the mind, open the heart and bring inner peace. It is the fastest, easiest and most joyful way to achieve peace of mind. The mantras are mystical universal sounds that resonate with our chakras and remove negative energies. So, it is important that we chant so that we can benefit from this powerful healing energy.
