What we’re about
Sacred Song Meditation (called Kirtan in Sanskrit) is a time-honored part of the bhakti yoga tradition. Just as people are sensitive to the vibrations of their surroundings, they can also be affected by music. By singing specific sacred songs, the resulting sound creates a vibration that acts upon the physical and spiritual body, realigning the body with its natural state. This promotes healing and creates feelings of peace, heart-openness and clarity. Meditation arises as the singer maintains relaxed and open awareness on the sound and the sensations in the body.
This group’s objective is to bring together all lovers of chant, bhajans and kirtan-style sing alongs in the north Pinellas, north Hillsborough, and south Pasco counties area, for the shared spiritual practice of Kirtan. Beginners are warmly welcomed, as are those who might be hesitant to sing :). This is a safe and welcoming environment that supports participants through any learning curve.
As we get to know this area and build this community, members can look forward to a variety of different Kirtan style events. Suggestions for days/times, as well as venues for scheduled events, are warmly welcomed. Please post!
This group is being built from the ground up, with a band of one leading Kirtan. If you are interested in joining the band, please contact the group leader.
