WHAT WE EXPLORE:
Bhajans: Bhajans are devotional songs that express deep love, reverence, and surrender to the divine. These songs are often composed in regional languages and carry poetic lyrics that convey devotion and longing for union with the divine. Bhajans are sung with heartfelt emotion, serving as a direct expression of one's spiritual journey and relationship with the divine. The act of singing bhajans helps to purify the heart and uplift the spirit, creating a sacred atmosphere conducive to spiritual growth and inner peace.
Kirtan: Kirtan is a participatory form of devotional chanting where a leader sings sacred mantras or divine names and the participants respond in chorus. This call-and-response format creates a powerful communal experience, allowing everyone to actively engage in the chanting and immerse themselves in the vibrations of sacred sounds. Kirtan is not merely a musical performance but a dynamic spiritual practice that aims to awaken the heart and foster a sense of unity and connection with the divine. Through kirtan, participants experience a heightened state of awareness, joy, and inner peace.
Mantras: Mantras are sacred sounds, syllables, or phrases that hold spiritual significance and transformative power. Chanting mantras is a potent practice used to focus the mind, purify consciousness, and invoke specific energies or qualities. Each mantra carries unique vibrations that resonate with different aspects of existence. The repetition of mantras can calm the mind, uplift the spirit, and deepen one's spiritual connection. Mantras are often chanted during meditation, rituals, or spiritual ceremonies to facilitate spiritual growth, healing, and inner awakening.
Heal and unravel your heart’s radiant nature. Bhakti is a world of overflowing love, Yoga’s sweetest path to enlightenment. This immersive workshop is open to all those who hear the call. No musical or singing experience is required.
