About Bhakti Yoga and Kirtan
Bhakti yoga is the yoga of love and devotion. In other words, it is the process of establishing a deep spiritual connection through loving devotional service. The bhakti yoga process is described in the ancient Vedic wisdom literatures as the most natural, sublime method for attaining this connection.
Kirtan, one of the prominent practices of bhakti yoga, is a type of musical mantra meditation, based on the yogic principle that sound carries consciousness: some sounds degrade us, while others uplift us. When utilized in kirtan, authentic mantras, or spiritual sound vibrations, not only free the mind of all stress, but also cleanse the mirror of the heart, gradually uncovering the true nature of the self and awakening the spiritual bliss inherent within us all.
