Kirtan is a meditational and devotional chanting experience usually set to music. Traditionally, a Kirtan leader will sing through the chant, or a line in the chant, and then the participants/audience will sing the chant back to the leader. This happens back and forth, over and over again, in a form called, ‘call and response.’ The Kirtan band provides the accompanying music and melody. 

The word Kirtan (kirtanam) comes from Sanskrit, the ancient language of India. It means praise or eulogy, and more casually means ‘to repeat or recite the Names’ of the divine. As the chant progresses, the mind becomes clear of mundane thoughts and is focused on the divine, creation, Creator and our place in the universe. Kirtan (chanting) is a very simple technique that can produce a very profound reconnection with the core of our being.   Think of Kirtan as the easiest and most accessible form of meditation, especially for beginners. And in truth, once you learn some chants, you don’t necessarily need a band… you can chant internally.
