Welcome to PranaShanti Yoga Centre

 

The primary musical feature of kirtan is the use of call and response. The form is simple: a lead group calls out the melodies and the mantras. The rest of the group responds, clapping and dancing as the rhythms build and accelerate.

Kirtan attempts to transform consciousness, directing the singers to vanish into the songs as drops of water merge into the ocean. The mantras are primarily recitations of names given to the divine. The true understanding of the mantras can be found in the sense of unity, well-being and timelessness that they elicit. The mantras quiet the mind, and the music frees the heart. Ecstasy is both the process and the product.

Bring your family, kids, friends, parents, and your favorite percussion instruments to play. Herbal tea served. Bring some snacks to share.

 

Join the chanting fun!
