Kirtan, Satsang & Sound Journey with Nirmal
with Nirmal and Sara

Kirtan is an ecstatic form of call–and–response chanting that comes from the bhakti, or devotional, tradition birthed in southern India in the 6th century. As potent as ever in our modern times, the bhakti practice of kirtan is an invocation, a praising, a glorifying, a beseeching, a calling from the soul to the Divine. Music is such a potent way of expressing emotion and connecting to the heart. 

Nirmal offers a yogic experience of vibration as sound. With some kirtan, call and response mantra, at the beginning, Nirmal then offers a Sound Journey- an immersion into vibration, tonality, various instruments and rhythms, in a sonic bath. It is a powerfully nourishing, healing, and uplifting musical offering.

We’ll have some refreshments and time to just be in community with each other afterward, for those who wish to stay.

Nirmal Chandraratna is a New York City–based Kirtan artist and composer with a passion for nurturing connection— to spirit, to community, and to one's deeper self— through music. Using the voice, the harmonium and the cello, he creates music for Kirtan and meditation, and works for communal performance. You can listen to music and media at NirmalC.com
