Kirtan is a very powerful form of mantra meditation. This uplifting and joyful practice involves hearing and chanting sacred mantras, and is usually accompanied by musical instruments .

The word mantra can be broken into two parts: ‘Man’ means the mind and ‘tra’ means to transport the mind away from the material realm and place it on the spiritual realm. This not only brings peace and happiness to the heart and mind, but it is also a process of self-realization. By regularly engaging in mantra meditation you can gradually realize your true spiritual essence.
