Sanskrit Mantra Meditation & Kirtan – Cork

You are invited to a Kirtan Session in the heart of Cork City Centre! Kirtan is a spiritual practice at the core of devotional yoga. Immerse yourself in the sounds of the harmonium, the rhythmic clash of cymbals, and the resonances of the mridangam drum as we partake in our unique call-and-response chanting event.

Sanskrit Mantra Meditation: 2:00 – 3:00pm

To open our event, we invite you to join us in a powerful Mantra meditation using the Vishnu Sahasranama. Vamadev will lead the chanting of the Sahasranama, calling participants to listen deeply to the sacred sounds of the Sanskrit Mantras. This ancient chant is known to invoke prosperity and abundance, dispelling negativity and misfortune. Allow yourself to be enveloped by the soothing vibrations, as they cleanse your mind and spirit, leaving you with a sense of inner peace and renewed energy. This meditation will serve as a beautiful and fitting start to our afternoon event.

Kirtan session: 3:00 – 4:30pm

Unlike a traditional concert, where the music is performed to an audience, Kirtan is all about group participation. Whether you’re an accomplished musician or someone who simply loves to sing along, this event welcomes all to contribute to the collective experience. Dive into the heart of ancient chants and rhythms, and feel the unity and positivity of voices singing together. No experience is required – just bring your enthusiasm and your voice.

Kirtan meditation anchors the mind with rhythmic repetition, reducing daily distractions and fostering deep meditation. The vibrations generated during Kirtan calm the mind, promoting rare inner stillness in our fast-paced world. It deepens spiritual connection to the Self and the universe, encouraging unity. Kirtan offers a space for emotional release, leading to a lighter, happier state.

Complimentary Chai and Cakes: 4:30pm-5:00pm

We are thrilled to invite you to join us for some light refreshments and a friendly chat about the spiritual path as our event draws to a close. To round off the afternoon, we will be serving freshly brewed chai (spiced tea) and homemade vegan cakes.
