Join Snehan Born for an ‘open mic’ community Kirtan. We will share and take turns in leading call and response chanting. All are welcome to participate in leading or join in with your voice for responding only. No music experience is necessary.

Kirtan is the Yoga practice of chanting Sanskrit mantras, sacred sound formulas that create a peaceful and uplifting vibration. Singing these holy mantras together calms the thinking mind, illuminates the heart and awakens the spiritual consciousness within. Kirtan is a form of Bhakti Yoga, singing the names of the Divine and a calling out of the soul for support, protection and guidance.
