Kirtan (Sanskrit: कीर्तन) translates as reciting. It is the shared recitation, or call & response, of spiritual ideals and holy names found in the Veda and other sacred writings. Kirtan originates from India where it is an important spiritual practice among many groups. Kirtan is not a formal practice and in modern times can include hymns from many traditions, as well as songs that espouse the qualities of peace, goodness, service, love, and unity.
