Kirtan is the repetition of sacred mantras, generally through call and response. The mantras are primarily in the Sanskrit language and are usually the names of gods and goddesses. Kirtan is a simple and joyful practice that calms the mind and brings rejuvenation and well-being.

Friday Night Kirtans are by donation. Special Guest Kirtans on Friday nights are by admission. Saturday Night Kirtans are by admission. Children under 12 are admitted free to all Kirtan events.
