Full Moon Kirtan with Narada
February 14th Friday, 8pm; $30
(We will start the evening with short meditation, daily chants and end with Arati after the kirtan)
Immerse yourself in the enchanting vibrations of sacred mantra music at our Acoustic Full Moon Kirtan event. The full moon amplifies the potency of mantras, making it a powerful time to connect deeply with yourself and others. As we gather under the luminous glow of the full moon, our collective voices will merge in soulful chanting, creating an atmosphere of profound peace and unity.
This evening offers a unique opportunity to experience the transformative power of kirtan in a welcoming and supportive community. The synergy of the full moon’s energy with ancient sacred mantras enhances meditation and opens the heart, guiding you into a state of inner bliss. Whether you are new to kirtan or a seasoned practitioner, this event promises to uplift your spirit and deepen your practice.
Come and be part of this special gathering. Let the harmonious melodies and heightened energies of the full moon lead you on a journey of self-discovery and connection. We look forward to sharing this unforgettable night of music and meditation with you!
Musician: Narada (Timmy Martin Sarker) is a Bangladeshi-Canadian vocalist and guitarist. His healing music infuses ancient Sanskrit chanting into contemporary rhythms, creating a unique brand of conscious music that uplifts and inspires. Narada’s music closely follows the Kirtan genre, allowing the audience to experience a deep state of relaxation and rejuvenation by connecting with his music.
Narada is heavily influenced and inspired by classical Indian music and the Eastern philosophy of meditation. He creates soulful, vibrant musical pieces by incorporating the knowledge acquired from these age-old traditions. Before the pandemic, Narada extensively travelled and performed in various cities in Canada (Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, Saint John’s) and internationally (U.S.A., India, Colombia) to hone his skills and connect with his audience.
Over the past three years, Narada has released 12 soundtracks under the album Chants of Ecstasy. He is currently working on his next album, collaborating with musicians across the globe. Narada has also been conducting concerts for Canadian and international audiences.
