Kirtan jam – North Dublin

Kirtan, rooted deeply in the Indian spiritual tradition, is an ancient form of sacred music that bridges the divide between the individual and the divine. It involves the group singing of spiritual mantras, usually in a call-and-response format. But Kirtan is much more than just singing; it’s a journey. As the melodies unfold, the room begins to vibrate with energy, hearts open, minds calm, and the sacred becomes palpable.

Mantras to music

This Kirtan evening promises a transformative experience as we set profound and powerful mantras to soul-stirring melodies. Mantras, often described as sacred sounds or phrases, have been used for millennia to promote inner peace and connection to a higher power. Accompanied by traditional instruments and resonant voices, the chants come alive, dancing their way into our very souls.

Benefits of chanting mantras

1. Mindfulness & Meditation: The rhythmic repetition helps anchor the mind, reducing the clutter of daily distractions and promoting a deep state of meditation.
2. Inner Peace: The sonic waves created during Kirtan harmonise and calm the mind, bringing about an inner stillness that’s rare in our fast-paced world.
3. Spiritual Connection: It fosters a deeper connection to the self and the universe, promoting a sense of oneness and unity.
4. Emotional Release: Kirtan offers a safe space to release pent-up emotions, helping practitioners feel lighter and more at ease.
5. Community Bonding: Sharing the Kirtan experience with others creates a profound sense of community and belonging.
