What is Kirtan/Chanting?
Experience the power of music to relax the mind and uplift your spirit! Chanting can be thought of as affirmations set to music, and brings about a meditative state through the repetition of simple melodies and the power to open your heart. Yogananda said "chanting is half the battle," because it easily brings you to a state of inner peace, even for the beginner. The songs for chanting are in unison, easy to follow, and most are in English, and some may be in Sanskrit. You don't need to be a good singer--just a willingness to experience the powerful vibrations of this music! There are usually a couple brief, guided meditations during the chanting.
