About kirtan

Kirtan is the singing of mantra’s, names of the divine, in a group setting. There are many names of the divine all representing different qualities, different faces of the Self.

The Self, the one reality that is beyond duality, neither nothing nor everything. Everything finds its origin in the Self and eventually dissolves in it.

When we chant these sacred mantra’s we call out to our inner teacher, our inner light in a divine form, to take our hand and lead us onto the path of our journey to realisation.

The realisation that we are already what we were looking for: peace, harmony, happiness, love, bliss…

Harmonizing the breath and tuning in to the heart, kirtan is a playful element of the ancient practice of Bhakti yoga, the path of surrender.

Just by chanting the divine names, we address the divine joyful presence within.

We chant from the heart into the heart.
