KIRTAN

THE POWER OF MANTRA

With APARNA & FRIENDS

Friday JUNE 12th, 6 - 7.30pm

Based in one of the most ancient sacred music traditions Kirtan is call-and-response chanting performed in India's bhakti (devotional) path of yoga.

Collective chanting of Sanskrit mantras, bhajans and chants  raises the consciousness, unites hearts across all cultures, removes barriers and creates peace both within ourselves and on Earth.

As much music as magic, chants create sacred vibrations which uplift the listener and charge atmosphere with positive energy. These Sanskrit chants are said to be filled with power, and each is said, has its own unique and positive effect. From opening the mind & the heart, to lifting the spirits these sacred songs will bliss you out.

'When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.'

- Rumi
