What is Kirtan?
Kirtan is essentially a form of group singing and meditation.
One person leads a simple chant, usually repeating a phrase or mantra, and everyone joins in.
The words are often in Sanskrit and have their roots in ancient Indian spiritual traditions, but you don’t need to understand Sanskrit, be spiritual or have any previous experience to take part.
There’s no pressure to sing perfectly (or even to sing at all!) You can simply listen, join in when you feel like it and let the music do its thing. Because the same words and melodies are repeated, it can be surprisingly easy to switch off from the busyness of everyday life and become absorbed in the sound.
Kirtan can feel different for everyone. Some people find it deeply relaxing and meditative, others find it uplifting and energising and sometimes it can bring up emotions too. There’s no particular experience you’re supposed to have. It’s simply an opportunity to pause, breathe, sing, listen and be present.
At its heart, Kirtan is about coming together. There’s something really beautiful about a group of people creating music together without needing to be musicians or singers. You just turn up as you are, join in as much or as little as you want, and share the experience with everyone else.
