Kirtan: The Myths and Magic Unplugged
Kirtan is a great way to celebrate life! One of the Sanskrit translations even means to 'celebrate'; celebrate that which we love the most…
Traditionally Kirtan is known as 'devotional' singing and response chanting but what many unfamiliar with the ancient practice do not realize, is that the very nature of Kirtan does not dictate the subject of the 'devotion'. Although Kirtan has its roots in Sanskrit, the names of Indian deities such as 'Shiva', 'Ganesh' or 'Ram' could easily be replaced with 'Allah', 'God' or 'Gaia'. What matters more is that the mantra's unite the energy of the singers, as one aspect of a great force which moves through all of us, ultimately resulting in a celebration of the joy of life. Kirtan can act as a bridge between our outer and inner selves and an expression of our desire to know and love the Divine within. If the word 'divine' is still a little hard for some of the more scientifically inclined or spiritually skeptical, be reassured that it is totally open to your interpretation: Divine covers everything from these more traditional images of a god to the energy which rushes through our bodies and enables us to feel connected to each other and the world around us.
