Kirtans
Los Angeles Kirtans at Ananda LA in Santa Monica
Saturdays, 8:15 to 9:15 pm
|
The sacred sounds of chants penetrate deeply into the consciousness. They have the power to transform and uplift the soul, and to open the heart. Chanting is an excellent, easy way to lift your spirits, and revitalize yourself after a long week of work. Yogananda and Kriyananda have written many beautiful chants in English. We also sing some traditional chants of India in Sanskrit. Melodies are simple, and usually repetitious so you can easily join in. The chants are usually accompanied by harmonium, guitar, drums and cymbals. |
If you like music, either singing yourself, or sitting quietly while others make music
around you, come take part in Ananda's chanting sessions
(kirtan in the Sanskrit language).
|
Some Kirtans will be dedicated to Babaji and Lord
Krishna with chants, stories of these great saints, an arati, and periods of
meditation.
