We are offering an opportunity to gather and chant as a spiritual community.
Kirtan (call-and-response chanting) is one of devotional practices common to the Bhakti Yoga, and it has been practiced regularly with a master of Yogi, Sri Dharma Mittra in Dharma Yoga Center NYC.
Through the chanting, you practice Dharana (concentration) in a way that is pleasant and demands little effort, and it becomes meditation when the concentration is uninterrupted. Chanting gives pleasure to the mind, and at the same time, opens and purifies the heart. Chanting with devotion will cultivate reverence and love. It is great to sing with your Sangha (community of like-minded individuals), you become absorbed in the communal endeavour, and connected to others and The Inner-Self.
You don't need to be good at singing at all. We can provide chairs for those who prefer not to sit on the floor. This class is open to all.
