kirtan is life. It involves us since it is a human creation. It can be created and executed by us throughout many phases of our development. Musical learning leads to interpersonal relationships, acceptance by the group, the desire to create, and the motivation to communicate. To "live" and experience music and learning "how to make music" adds much to family life and this increment in quality provides improved communication in society.
Next Kirtan: Sunday, 19th February, at the Friends Meeting House, 43 St. Giles, Oxford, 4-6pm. There is no charge, but you may like to contribute to the room-hire.All are welcome! Enquiries: keshava108@gmail.com
Welcome!
This blog is about kirtan - an ancient form of musical meditation from northern India. It stems from the bhakti-tradition, or devotional tradition, is performed in a call-and response style, and is both easy and sublime.
On this blog we're putting up some of the chants we recorded at our sessions in Oxford, (see Podcasts, below) as well as some inspirational postings. Enjoy!
