Singing or Chanting are very beautiful and beneficial ways of channeling Emotional Energy ~ Swami Rama
MANTRA AND KIRTAN –The Sacred Sounds
(Experiencing spiritual oneness through Music)
A human life reaches its zenith when it attains the capacity to love all .When your songs merge with the songs of the divine ….when the individual consciousness merges with the universal consciousness…that oneness is the origin of Truth & Love.
MANTRA and KIRTAN create a space for that transcendental state.
What is Mantra?
Mantra is a Sanskrit word which has two syllables –“MAN” (Mind) and “TRA” (Liberation & Fulfillment).
MANTRA is a high vibration sound with deep spiritual energy which has the potency to liberate a mind from all deep rooted impressions (Sanskaras).
Mantra meditation is a purification tool-a tool for Tapas (self-discipline).
How does MANTRA work?
Mantra works by invoking the divine qualities in our consciousness which destroy all the darkness and we attain a state of Sat-Chit-Anand (Truth-Consciousness-Bliss).
Mantra can be chanted alone in Meditation (JAPA) or in a call and response group setting (KIRTAN).
Consistent practice and right intention are the two key elements in Mantra Meditation for the deep benefits to manifest.
What is KIRTAN/BHAJAN?
When the mantras are sung in a group in a Call and Answer fashion, it becomes Kirtan/Bhajan. Bhaj means “to share“.
Kirtan/Bhajan creates a musical space where all seekers come together leaving behind their small identities, sing in harmony and immerse in the unified consciousness of the Satsang.
Kirtan/Bhajan creates a mystical field of Grace–where egos fade, the pain of separateness melts away and there is merging& melting of the divine melodies into a unified field of oneness.
Music has been Sameer’s most intimate love affair!
And his love for music has found a destination under the auspices of Swami Rama Initiative where Sameer sets out to offer a host of experiences for seekers to get immersed in the Sacred Chants.
There are High energy Mantra sessions, Devotional Satsangs, Group reflections, Musical musings, Kirtan Concerts, Group chanting and so on.
