What is Kirtan ?

Kirtan is a form of devotional call-and-response chanting accompanied by musical instruments and the audience is encouraged to participate by chanting, clapping and dancing. In Kali Yuga, the mantra recommended for chanting is the Hare Krsna Maha Mantra - 

                           Hare Krsna Hare Krsna 

                                                     Krsna Krsna Hare Hare,

                                                                                  Hare Rama Hare Rama 

                                                                                                            Rama Rama Hare Hare.

In Kali-yuga no other devotional activity supersedes the currently prescribed yuga-dharma, hari-nama-sankirtana. Indeed, all other dharmas and all the various adjunct angas of bhakti must subordinate themselves to the service of the yuga-dharma to be deemed at all conducive, so far as the proper progress of the Krishna consciousness movement is concerned. All doings connected with Lord Caitanya’s sankirtana movement may be accepted as sankirtana, or facets of the sankirtana principle, to the extent that they factually inspire, promote, and facilitate or at least positively compliment direct performances of yuga-dharma hari-nama-sankirtana.
