What is kirtan - devotional chanting ?
(To hear some, click here to Visit Keshavacharya's Site)

According to Keshavacharya dasa, Kirtan or the chanting the holy names is one of the highest expressions of love towards the Supreme, and one of the greatest forms of mercy from the Supreme to the souls in this world. It is said that when we chant these names the Lord dances on our tongues and manifests himself more and more in our heart.

Kirtan is a call and response flow of devotion through music - the human voice set to ancient ragas or tunes accompanied by the sweet sounds of harmonium and bengali drum which leads to a deep emotional experience. The kirtan leader helps to pull from our heart the love we have locked away, unknown even to ourselves. Through the ebb and flow of this exchange between the kirtan leader and the “audience”, we are pulled deeper and deeper into our own hearts. The mantras are like a rope we can use to draw ourselves into the inner realms of the heart where we can experience true peace, knowledge and bliss.
