What is kirtan?
Derived from a Sanskrit root meaning to call, recite, praise, or glorify, put simply, kirtan is the act of praising and glorifying some form of divinity. While such glorification can be expressed in a variety of ways, including through poetry, drama, dance, or any form of oral recitation, kirtan, in its most well-known form, is the call and response singing of a Sanskrit mantra. Tap into the spiritual energy of bhakti yoga, the yoga of love and devotion, as you sing your way to joy and peace.
Mantra Mandala:
Mantra Mandala is a kirtan band based in Asheville, NC. They weave melody, rhythm, and harmony to create an immersive sound that invites listeners into a journey of meditative bliss and devotion.
Mantra Mandala features Jeremy Staum (vocals, harmonium), Nina Kawar (vocals, percussion), Timothy Burgin (percussion) and Daniel Guyer (cello).
The band’s name, Mantra Mandala, represents the intention behind their music. Mantra and mandala are both meditation tools. Mantra is the repetition of sacred sounds. Mandala is a geometric design that represents the wholeness of the Self. The band’s music is like a mandala formed of mantras, transporting listeners into the state of connectedness that is yoga.
