Dear Friends,
We are delighted to invite you to this special programme with a
special guest Dayananda Swami. KIRTAN is an enchanting musical
experience where everyone can take part in. Without the work of
mentally quietening the mind, kirtan can carry us effortlessly to a
place of quiet, to stillness. One of the oldest sacred music
traditions of the world, the kirtan call-and-response chanting genre
comes to us from India. It is performed using ancient Sanskrit mantras
to the accompaniment of instruments such as the harmonium, the
two-headed mrdanga (drum) and kartalas (hand cymbals). How Kirtan is
yoga? The real meaning of yoga is rise one's consciousness to the
spiritual platform and link oneself with the divine. The Kirtan calls
upon sacred energies which remove inauspicious things from the heart,
bring us back to the centre of our own identity and awaken divine
peace and love within us.
Come to learn the wisdom behind the Kirtan from the expert teacher &
for an opportunity to put it to the practice.
Admission is FREE, donations are welcome. There will also be
uplifting music, dance and delicious vegetarian & vegan snacks.

Yours sincerely,
ISKCON Karuna Bhavan
