The Yoga of Kirtan: Healing through Togetherness with Govind Das

From A Show of Hearts · 1:13:22

Show by Rosemary Pritzker

This episode is with my kirtan teacher, Govind Das. Kirtan is a devotional music practice in which the person leading chants the sacred names of gods and goddesses in the form of mantras. The audience then chants the mantras back in a call-and-response style. The person leading typically plays an instrument called a harmonium. Kirtan is a beautiful experience to share in sangha (spiritual community), bringing people together through music and connection. Govind Das talks about why we practice kirtan: to connect with the divine within ourselves and in the world around us, and to use the power of chanting to help dispel darkness within ourselves and in the world. He shares why this practice feels especially important during these times and how it offers us an opportunity to wake up, reconnect, and realign. Listen as Govind Das shares his life story, including losing his home in the Los Angeles Palisades fires a couple of years ago and how this life-changing experience led him and his family to embark on a world tour. Enjoy his music and this beautiful conversation! The post The Yoga of Kirtan: Healing through Togetherness with Govind Das appeared first on A Show of Hearts.
