Both are highly experienced musicians and kirtan practitioners\, known for creating engaging and uplifting musical experiences. Travelling in especially for this event – Swami Anashuya from London and Pandita Bhavani from Frankfurt\, Germany – they bring a depth of musical skill alongside years of experience in devotional chanting. \n \nProgram\n\nIntroduction\nFirst Kirtan (music) session\nBreak\nSatsang (talk)\nSecond Kirtan (music) session\nClosing & wrap-up\n\nComplementary chai and homemade vegan cakes will be available during breaks and at end\, to allow time to relax\, chat\, and connect with others. \nOverview\nKirtan is a simple\, participatory form of music where the audience is invited to join in through call-and-response chanting. Many people find that kirtan has a positive effect on both mind and mood. The repetition of melody and mantra can help reduce stress\, support focus\, and create a sense of calm. It’s also an opportunity to step out of the usual pace of daily life and spend time in a more relaxed\, present state. \n\nWhether you’re new to kirtan or have attended before\, this special afternoon offers a welcoming and down-to-earth way to experience live music that brings people together through rhythm\, voice\, and shared energy. \n\nBhakti Marga on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DZ06evO4ich6K\nBhakti Marga on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/bhakti-marga/641026811\n\nEVENT DETAILS\nLocation: The Elbow Room Yoga studios\nAddress: 60/61 Manor St\, Stoneybatter\, Dublin\, D07 CY53\, Ireland\nCost: Donations welcome\nOrganiser: Vamadev URL:https://bhaktimarga.ie/event/kj-dublin-sa-may26/ LOCATION:The Elbow Room\, 60/61 Manor St\, Stoneybatter\, Dublin\, County Dublin\, D07 CY53\, Ireland CATEGORIES:Kirtan Dublin ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://bhaktimarga.ie/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Kj_Dublin_SA2.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Vamadev":MAILTO:vamadev@bhaktimarga.ie END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260425T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260425T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T183927Z CREATED:20260324T120240Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260403T183927Z UID:10000365-1777129200-1777136400@bhaktimarga.ie SUMMARY:Kirtan Jam - Dublin DESCRIPTION:Join Bhakti Marga Ireland for a unique afternoon of devotional music and singing.

This event has two parts: a practical mantra chanting session followed by a group kirtan jam (call-and-response chanting with live instruments). No previous experience is needed — just an open mind and heart. \n7:00 pm to 8.00 pm: Sanskrit Chanting Workshop\nDuring the workshop\, you’ll learn the basics of Sanskrit pronunciation and how to chant mantras with confidence. You’ll be guided through key Sanskrit sounds and simple techniques for effective chanting\, including pace\, rhythm\, and pitch. We’ll introduce a carefully chosen set of traditional mantras and explain what they mean\, how they can be used and why they have been cherished for generations. To help you continue at home\, you’ll also be given handouts with all the chants included\, so you can practise in your own time. \nhttps://bhaktimarga.ie/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Gayatri-Mantra.m4a\nThe mantras such as the Gayarti Mantra are taught in the workshop because they relate to the kinds of outcomes people often seek on their spiritual path. In particular\, participants will learn mantras commonly used to support: \n\nAbundance in material and spiritual life\nPeace and well-being in the home\nOvercoming challenges in life\n\nChanting is simple\, but it can be deeply transformative. The combination of sound\, rhythm\, and focused attention can help quiet mental noise and soften stress\, while reconnecting you to a sense of inner stillness and devotion. People often complete the workshop feeling calmer\, more centred\, and carrying a renewed appreciation for the quiet power of sacred mantra. \n8:00 pm to 9.00 pm: Kirtan Jam\n\n\nThe second half of the event is a Kirtan Jam\, where we chant mantras together with live music. Instruments such as the harmonium\, drums\, and cymbals create a steady rhythm\, and the session follows a call-and-response format\, so you can join in without needing to know the words in advance. It’s participatory rather than performative\, and you’re welcome to chant along as much as you like. \nThis part of the evening is also interactive: the music facilitator will invite participants to try simple percussion instruments during the kirtan\, with guidance on keeping time and following the flow of the chants. You can take part on instruments\, chant\, or simply listen at any point — the aim is to create a shared\, supportive atmosphere through mantra\, melody and rhythm. \n\nEVENT DETAILS\nLocation: The Lark Concert Hall\nAddress: Church Street\, Balbriggan Co.

Kirtan is a spiritual practice rooted in the heart of devotional yoga. Immerse yourself in the melodious sounds of the harmonium\, the rhythmic clashing of cymbals and the deep resonances of the mridangam drum as we engage in a powerful chant and response experience. \nWhat’s a Kirtan session?\nUnlike 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. \n\nBenefits of Kirtan\n\nMeditation: The rhythmic repetition helps anchor the mind\, reducing the clutter of daily distractions and promoting a deep state of meditation.\nInner 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.\nSpiritual Connection: It fosters a deeper connection to the Self and the universe\, promoting a sense of oneness and unity.\nEmotional Release: Kirtan offers a safe space to release pent-up emotions\, helping everyone feel lighter and happier.\nCommunity Bonding: Sharing the Kirtan experience with others creates a profound sense of community and belonging.\n\nLISTEN TO BHAKTI MARGA\nBhakti Marga on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DZ06evO4ich6K \nBhakti Marga on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/bhakti-marga/641026811 \n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\nEVENT DETAILS\nLocation: Dervish\, 50 Cornmarket St\, Cork\, T12 X276 Cost: Donations welcome Organiser: Vamadev URL:https://bhaktimarga.ie/event/kirtan-session-cork-city-february/ LOCATION:Dervish\, 50 Cornmarket St\,\, Cork\, County Cork\, T12 X276\, Ireland CATEGORIES:Kirtan Cork ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://bhaktimarga.ie/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Kirtan-session-cork-jpg-jpg.webp ORGANIZER;CN="Vamadev":MAILTO:vamadev@bhaktimarga.ie END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20240217T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20240217T160000 DTSTAMP:20240123T170039Z CREATED:20240121T154710Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240123T170039Z UID:10000159-1708173000-1708185600@bhaktimarga.ie SUMMARY:Kirtan workshop - Cork City DESCRIPTION:Do you like Kirtan?
