What we do ?
Kirtan is a sacred form of devotional singing, chanting, and storytelling that has been practiced in Indian spiritual traditions for centuries. Rooted in Bhakti Yoga, kirtan is not merely music—it is a way of connecting with the divine through the collective chanting of mantras, hymns, and verses. When practiced in a group, it creates powerful vibrations of unity, love, and devotion. A Kirtan Class provides a structured environment where individuals are guided to learn the art of devotional singing. It is a space where participants not only learn music but also experience spiritual growth, inner peace, and a deeper connection with the divine.
Kirtan is the soul of Sikh worship. It is the devotional singing of Gurbani from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, often accompanied by instruments like the Harmonium, Tabla, and Dholak. A Kirtan Class provides structured training for individuals to learn not just how to sing, but how to understand, feel, and convey the spiritual essence of Gurbani. Through Kirtan, devotees experience inner peace, devotion, and a deep connection with Waheguru.
