What is kirtan?
Kirtan is a devotional practice of singing and repeating sacred names and phrases in a call-and-response format. It uses music, rhythm and repetition to focus the mind, open the heart, and create a shared experience of devotion.
Facilitator: Ramdas has been involved with the Sivananda Centre as a yoga teacher since 2023. He regularly leads kirtan concerts and song circles at the Centre and elsewhere.
