Turn Mountains into Mole hills:

Life isn't always easy. We all face problems, uncertainties, and challenges that can sometimes feel overwhelming.
Through Kirtan we reconnect more and more with our true spiritual nature and with that comes a different way of perceiving things.
If we regularly practice Kirtan, our problems won't necessarily disappear, but over time we gain the spiritual wisdom to see them in their proper perspective.
Problems that once seemed like towering mountains begin to feel more like small Mole hills and we are able to address them with more clarity.
Through Kirtan you will find yourself feeling lighter of heart, joyful and more peaceful,
Often the answer to a problem will become clearer, other times, it's simply the burden of carrying it that has become lighter.

Experience the wonder of Kirtan for yourself.
Join us Wednesday 12th August, 7.00pm, Mangawhai Domain Hall,
75 Moir street and experience the wonder of Kirtan for yourself.

Focus on the Solution, not the problem

Simply put, meditation means to focus your attention on something.
In that sense, we all meditate. Unfortunately, many of us spend a great deal of our time meditating on our problems, with all the stress that entails...and most of us have no shortage of problems to grapple with! No sooner do we think we've solved one than another takes its place. In this way, we become caught in an endless cycle of worry, stress, and anxiety.
Our tendency is often to seek relief in temporary, superficial
'band-aid' solutions—television, movies, social media, or other distractions. While these may provide a brief escape, they don't address the deeper cause of our unrest.
Mantra meditation, especially in the form of Kirtan, offers a different approach. Rather than focusing our attention on our problems, we focus on the solution.
'Man' means mind and 'tra' means to take away.
Instead of simply distracting us from our worries, this form of meditation goes to the root of the problem and enables us to rise above our problems by redirecting our mind toward a higher, spiritual reality.
The sound vibration of the Mantra is coming from the spiritual platform.
Another name for the spiritual or transcendental realm is Vaikuntha, which means 'that place which is free from anxiety' and is our natural home.
Bathing in the sound of the mantra we feel a natural sense of joy and happiness awaken from within that comes from reconnecting with our true home, our deeper Spiritual Nature and the Supreme Soul.
This is why Kirtan is more than music. It is a meditation that gently lifts the mind beyond fear and worry, allowing us to experience the inner peace and fulfillment that we are all searching for.

Shake off the 'winter blues!'

It's well known that one of the best 'Anti Depressant's' is being active.
Kirtan meditation takes this principle to another level, a Spiritual, Transcendental level.
Rather than trying to sit perfectly still and quiet your mind, you actively engage your body and mind in the meditation.
Everyone enjoys good music and to have a good time.
Kirtan takes these propensities and dovetails them with meditation.
If you simply immerse yourself in the Transcendental, Spiritual sound vibration of the kirtan, sing along, you will feel the burdens of anxiety, loneliness, depression lift off your shoulders. You will feel a natural sense of joy and happiness awaken from within that comes from reconnecting with our deeper Spiritual Nature and the Supreme Soul.

The Nectar of Kirtan

Just as the body thrives on nourishing food, the soul also longs for nourishment. Kirtan offers not merely sustenance, but a spiritual nectar that is sweeter and more satisfying than anything we can find in ordinary material experiences.
The wise sage Rupa Goswami expressed the sweetness of the Holy Name in this way:
'I do not know how much nectar the two syllables 'Kṛṣ-ṇa' have produced. When the name of Krishna is chanted, it appears to dance within the mouth. We then desire many, many mouths. When that name enters the ears, we desire many millions of ears...'
The beauty of Kirtan is that no prior knowledge, experience, or qualification is required. Simply by immersing yourself in this transcendental sound vibration, you can begin to experience an inner peace, joy, and spiritual nourishment that comes from reconnecting with our deeper Spiritual Nature and the Supreme Soul.
Come and experience the sweetness of Kirtan for yourself.

Just as the body needs sustenance, the soul also longs for nourishment. Kirtan offers not merely sustenance, but a spiritual nectar that is sweeter and more satisfying than anything we can find in ordinary material experiences.

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the father of the modern Kirtan movement, described Kirtan in this way:
"This sankirtana movement is the prime benediction for humanity at large because it spreads the rays of the benediction moon. It is the life of all transcendental knowledge. It increases the ocean of transcendental bliss, and it enables us to fully taste the nectar for which we are always anxious."

The beauty of Kirtan is that no prior knowledge, experience, or qualification is required. Simply by immersing yourself in this transcendental sound vibration, you can begin to experience the inner peace, joy, and spiritual nourishment that comes from reconnecting with our deeper Spiritual Nature and the Supreme Soul.
Come and experience the wonder of Kirtan for yourself.

Kirtan
Food for the Soul

Kirtan is food for the soul and, as the saying goes...
‘ the test of the pudding is in the eating.’
There is a treasure trove of spiritual knowledge that underpins Mantra Meditation for those who want to understand more deeply how and why it works.
However, even someone experiencing Kirtan for the very first time can sense that there is something unique and extraordinary about this sound vibration.
Without needing any prior knowledge or qualification, simply by immersing yourself in the Transcendental sound vibration of Kirtan, you can immediately begin to feel an inner peace, joy and sense of spiritual nourishment that isn’t found in ordinary material experiences, that comes from reconnecting with our deeper Spiritual Nature and the Supreme Soul.

What is Kirtan?
Kirtan is a simple call and response group meditation accompanied with music.
You don't need any previous experience or need to worry about the sound of your voice or whether you can sing in tune.
You can simply sit and listen, or if you feel inclined, sing along ... whatever feels comfortable for you.

Kirtan is the easiest and most effective form of meditation in these chaotic times in which we live.
Parents know that the best way to control a naughty child is to give it something positive to engage in. Kirtan is based on the same principle. Rather than try to still the mind, we simply immerse the mind and senses in the Transcendental sound vibration of the kirtan meditation.
The Transcendental, Spiritual Sound vibration of the Kirtan
re awakens the sense of inner peace, joy and fulfilment which is our natural state and which comes from reconnecting with our deeper Spiritual Nature and the Supreme Soul.

Kirtan is Food for the Soul and as the saying goes, 'the test of the pudding is in the eating.'
Join us for uplifting Kirtan Meditation and experience for yourself the joy of Kirtan.

Why is Kirtan described as 'Food for the Soul?'

At our core, we are spiritual beings.
Because of this, material things alone can never fully satisfy us.
Just as our body needs nourishment to stay healthy and strong, we the soul also need our own form of sustenance to feel truly happy and fulfilled.
The deep sense of longing we all experience isn’t a flaw—it’s a signal.
It’s an inner need for something deeper, something lasting, a reconnection with our true spiritual nature and with the Supreme Soul. Kirtan offers a simple and powerful way to nourish this inner need.
A simple call-and-response practice set to music, Kirtan invites you to step out of the noise of daily life and into a space of connection and meaning and because Kirtan is Transcendental, Spiritual Sound vibraton, you begin to feel a natural sense of peace, clarity, and joy arise from within. It’s an experience that doesn't require any previous qualification—just a willingness to participate.
In a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming, Kirtan provides an easily accessible and enjoyable path back to your true spiritual nature—and the deep sense of fulfilment that comes with it.
