World renowned scholar and sage from India, Swami Vivekananda said, “music alone can take you to the highest state of mind”. Chanting ancient mantras and prayers allows us to tune our whole being, mind, body, and spirit to the One Source, to the One God. “Kirtan” is a Sanskrit word for group musical expression of the Divine Spirit within.
