About Guru Purnima

Guru Purnima is a sacred day of reflection, gratitude, and renewal for the spiritual seeker. Just as the calendar year begins on 1 January, Guru Purnima marks the spiritual New Year for those walking the inner path.

It is a time to pause and reflect on the year gone by — to review one’s inner journey, acknowledge growth, and contemplate the lessons learned. It is an opportunity to recognise the blessings, wisdom, and transformation that knowledge has brought into our lives.

Guru Purnima also invites us to look ahead with renewed clarity and intention: to recommit ourselves to living with awareness, purpose, and sincerity in the coming year.

On this special evening, we gather in gratitude for the timeless wisdom passed down through generations of masters and teachers who have preserved and shared this sacred knowledge with the world.

Let us come together in celebration, reflection, devotion, and community.

What is Kirtan?

Kirtan is a devotional practice of sacred singing and chanting originating from India, traditionally associated with Hindu and yogic spiritual traditions. It involves the joyful repetition of mantras, sacred words, or divine names in a call-and-response style, creating a deeply meditative and uplifting atmosphere.

Accompanied by instruments such as harmonium, tabla, and hand cymbals, Kirtan offers a space to quiet the mind, open the heart, and experience a sense of peace, connection, and collective joy through music and rhythm.

Whether you are new to Kirtan or have practised for many years, all are warmly welcome to join this evening of chanting, reflection, and shared spiritual celebration.

What to Bring

Please bring anything that will help you feel comfortable and settled during the evening, such as:

• A cushion or meditation pillow
• A yoga mat
• A blanket or shawl for warmth
• Your favourite tea or coffee cup

We look forward to sharing this beautiful evening of devotion, music, and community.

🤍 Organised by: A collective of humble Kirtan enthusiasts and devotees of Bhakti Yoga from across Melbourne, coming together in the spirit of seva, devotion, and community.
