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.

testimonial

"Integral Yoga hosts the best of the best kirtan wallahs! I have experienced several sweet bhakti experiences at the ashram that have surely made me into a better human being. Chanting is known to be the fastest way to connect with God, but chanting at Integral Yoga with the beautiful energy of Swami Satchidananda and his devotees' daily practice, really heightens the experience!"

Tricia McAvoy of Blissworks Yoga, New London, CT
