WHAT IS KIRTAN?Kirtan is the sacred practice of singing mantras, which comes from the Indian tradition of bhakti yoga - the yoga of love and devotion. Singing these mantras can really help us to open up our hearts and enter deep states of bliss and transcendence, helping to shift any emotional or energetic blocks that we may be carrying.
Everything in this world - whether it be solid, liquid or gas - is simply vibrating energy. And we can use the resonant power of mantras as a form of sacred sound healing to realign our personal energy and connect to something larger than ourselves.
By immersing ourselves in these sacred sound vibrations, great energetic shifts can occur. The Sanskrit language, which these mantras are sung in, is particularly powerful because each word is imbued with sacred healing vibrations that were channelled down by the Brahmins of India thousands of years ago.
When we sing these mantras, we are connecting to the different energies of the universe, which are symbolised by the Gods and Goddesses of the Hindu pantheon. By calling upon these archetypal figures - these different aspects of the divine - we help to awaken these powerful energies within ourselves.
Singing is such a great way to release feel-good endorphins in the body and express the truth of who you really are. And when we focus upon the words of these sacred mantras, there is little room for your mind to wander, so you can very quickly drop down into your heartspace and enter an altered state of awareness.
Contrary to what you might think, you don't have to be good at singing in order to do this practice. It is singing from the heart that's the most important thing - and when you find that deeper place of devotion and love within yourself, you may well be amazed at the beauty of the sounds that your voice carries.
And so it is that you can heal yourself through the power of your own voice. The throat, they say, is a bridge between the mind and the heart. And when you sing these mantras, you can bring yourself back into alignment and experience a sense of peace and blissful oneness.
Nick leads kirtan on his ukulele and many of the arrangements and melodies shared are his own. However, he also plays mantra melodies that are well-known to the kirtan community. He can often be found singing these sacred songs in his local park and it brings him much joy to share them with others.
