Description

This is a FREE class. No booking is necessary.

Get your voice ready, and join us for a session of singing and chanting traditional devotional songs. We will have music sheets to guide your singing, for those unfamiliar with Sanskrit mantras.

Deva Premal puts it this way: “In kirtan, we sing our praises to the divine in the many forms in which it manifests.” Kirtan is a Sanskrit word meaning “praise” or “eulogy.” It's also known as sankirtana and is used to describe a form of call-and-response chanting involving mantras or hymns.

Mantras means “to guide and protect the mind.” Mantra helps to guide your awareness to a place that is quiet and still by repetition and returning to the chant.
