Kirtan is a call and response form of chanting in which we chant the revealed names of the Gods in Sanskrit mantra form.
Towards the end of 2022 a small group of us found ourselves at Lakeside Retreats with time and motivation. We had all been greatly impacted by the teaching of Ram Dass and by the continuation of that legacy through Krishna Dass and his kirtan practice. Kirtan is a call and response form of chanting in which we chant the revealed names of the Gods in Sanskrit mantra form. With some western rhythms and words mixed in as the honey to help the medicine of the mantras go down smoother.
For many years now; every Thursday, from 7:30-9:30 PM, Krishna Das performs an entirely free (donations to KD are welcomed) kirtan via youtube and we project this inside the video yurt; mixed with ambient imagery.
