About this Event
Join us for a soulful Kirtan Session in the heart of Cork City Centre! Kirtan is a spiritual practice rooted in the heart of devotional yoga. Immerse yourself in the melodious sounds of the harmonium, the rhythmic clashing of cymbals and the deep resonances of the mridangam drum as we engage in a powerful chant and response experience.
Unlike a traditional concert, where the music is performed to an audience, Kirtan is all about group participation. Whether you’re an accomplished musician or someone who simply loves to sing along, this event welcomes all to contribute to the collective experience. Dive into the heart of ancient chants and rhythms, and feel the unity and positivity of voices singing together. No experience is required – just bring your enthusiasm and your voice.
Benefits of Kirtan- Meditation: The rhythmic repetition helps anchor the mind, reducing the clutter of daily distractions and promoting a deep state of meditation.
- Inner Peace: The sonic waves created during Kirtan harmonise and calm the mind, bringing about an inner stillness that’s rare in our fast-paced world.
- Spiritual Connection: It fosters a deeper connection to the Self and the universe, promoting a sense of oneness and unity.
- Emotional Release: Kirtan offers a safe space to release pent-up emotions, helping everyone feel lighter and happier.
- Community Bonding: Sharing the Kirtan experience with others creates a profound sense of community and belonging.
To conclude our kirtan session, we invite you to join us in a powerful meditation on the Sri Suktam. Vamadev will lead the chanting of the Sri Suktam, calling participants to listen deeply to the sacred sounds of the Vedas, honouring the Divine Mother. This ancient chant is known to invoke prosperity and abundance, dispelling negativity and misfortune. Allow yourself to be enveloped by the soothing vibrations, as they cleanse your mind and spirit, leaving you with a sense of inner peace and renewed energy. This meditation will serve as a beautiful and fitting end to our afternoon event.
