WHAT IS KIRTAN?

Kirtan is when more than one person gets together to joyously sing or chant various Mantras. Man means mind, Tra means that which frees; a mantra is a sound vibration that frees or delivers the mind from its attachment and preoccupation with worldly matters, and focuses it on the Supreme. Every day we hear sounds that increase our attachment and preoccupation with worldly matters, so obviously not just any sound is a mantra. Only words that have the spiritual potency to free us from material conditioning are Mantras. The only words with that spiritual potency are any sound coming from God such as His Names and Words because they are nondifferent from Him, and are as pure and purifying as God Himself.

Kirtan is completely non-sectarian and non-denominational because the universal principle for spiritual reawakening through singing the Names of God is recommended in the Bible (both Old and New Testaments), Koran and Vedic Scriptures.

Kirtan is a spiritual tool to purify one's consciousness and bring the soul real peace and happiness; Peaceful individuals create a peaceful society.

There Should Never Be a Charge For Kirtan!

According to Yoga texts, it is forbidden to charge for Kirtan and teaching spiritual truths because these should be freely available to everyone, not just those who can afford it. Therefore, we do not list on San Diego County Kirtan MeetUp kirtan events that require payment for admission.

Taking part in or learning about Kirtan has nothing to do with having enough money, having a melodious voice, or becoming a professional kirtan leader, singer or musician. Anyone can chant, sing, dance and participate in Kirtan at no cost—so bring yourself, children, family, friends and musical instruments!  Aloha & Namaste

"A HIGHER WAY"
Music by GT Blake - Lyrics by Bia LaBorte
Produced by GTB MUSIC
Recorded by Spirit Soul & Friends

(SOME HIGHER WAY I MUST FIND)

MY HEART KEEPS YEARNING
FOR SOMETHING SO REAL, SO RIGHT FOR ME
SEARCHING TO FIND
SOME ABSOLUTE WAY TO HELP ME SEE
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT I NEED?

NOW I CAN SEE THROUGH OPEN EYES
SOME HIGHER WAY I MUST FIND, YEAH
I KNOW BEFORE LIFE SEEMED SO BLIND
BUT THINGS HAVE CHANGED WITH TIME
SOME HIGHER WAY I MUST FIND

THERE COMES A TIME
FEELS YOUR WHOLE WORLD HAS NO PLACE TO GO
LOOK DEEP INSIDE, INNER ENLIGHT
TO THE TRUTH THAT SHOWS
SPIRITUAL VISION'S WHAT YOU NEED

NOW I CAN SEE THROUGH OPEN EYES
SOME HIGHER WAY I MUST FIND, YEAH
I KNOW BEFORE LIFE SEEMED SO BLIND
BUT THINGS HAVE CHANGED WITH TIME

NOW I CAN SEE THROUGH OPEN EYES
SOME HIGHER WAY I MUST FIND, YEAH
I KNOW BEFORE LIFE SEEMED SO BLIND
BUT THINGS HAVE CHANGED IN TIME

REPEAT AND FADE:

(NOW I CAN SEE THROUGH OPEN EYES
SOME HIGHER WAY I MUST FIND
I KNOW BEFORE LIFE'S SEEMED SO BLIND
BUT THINGS HAVE CHANGED WITH TIME)

SOME HIGHER WAY I MUST FIND

A Song Of Peace (Nityananda Chaitanya)

KRSNA, SOMEBODY IS CALLING YOU

Recorded by Spirit Soul & Friends
Music & Lyrics by Hari Nama dasi (Bia LaBorte)
Copyright 1982

The Cowherd Boys will meet each day
Among them all you'll hear them say
"Did you see Krsna pass this way?
With only Him we want to play."

Each Little Maiden looks to see
"Has Krsna come to dance with me?"
As days go by they hopefully
Await to greet Him Lovingly

Krsna, somebody is calling You
Oh Krsna, how anxiously they wait for You
Dear Krsna, look how they all are wanting You
It's only You they long to see
Playing Your Sweet Flute
