More on kirtan: Kirtan is a form of musical meditation that combines group singing, rhythm, and movement. Participants follow a lead singer and musicians, singing simple, repetitive phrases in Sanskrit. This uplifting practice helps you relax, connect with others, and experience different states, from calm meditation to joyful, ecstatic dance.
