Podcasts about Kirtan

What happens when an ancient devotional practice like Kirtan moves from intimate spaces to concert halls and huge audiences?In this episode of For Soul's Sake, Radhika Das, Stine, and Nama explore the balance between Kirtan, performance, devotion, and accessibility. Radhika reflects on his journey from small gatherings to thousands of people, and whether Kirtan can remain a sincere offering to Krishna while being shared on a larger scale.They discuss the importance of intention, humility, music, and consciousness, the relationship between Kirtan and Japa, and what it means to enter a Kirtan space not simply to attend, but to serve.3:12 — Taking an ancient practice to the stage4:46 — The power of intimate Kirtan9:42 — Making Kirtan accessible to a wider audience13:37 — Performance vs. devotion23:21 — Are we attending Kirtan or participating and serving?29:42 — Kirtan and Japa41:29 — Humility and the foundation of chanting46:53 — Making Kirtan accessible without losing its essence50:54 — Bonus conversationsProduced by: Sunni Sharma and Viraj Limbachia Filmed by: Filmwork Studios Edited by: Hannah BrownWant to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasKomi: https://radhikadas.komi.io/

Kirtan, or devotional chanting of the names of God, is a practice that opens the heart, uplifts our consciousness, and deepens our connection to the Divine.  Join spiritual teacher Swami Nirvanananda as he leads songs of devotion that bring us into a sacred stillness.

Enjoy this descent into the heartspace where Krishna Das connects us to our true nature of pure awareness and unity with God. This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das explores:Different translations of the Ramayana Bhakti and repetition of the name as one of the easiest paths to follow Descending deeply into the mind and heartHow Maharaj-ji instructed Krishna Das to wear red Union with god alongside worldly enjoymentsRemembering to orient ourselves to our true nature Watching the breath, separating breathing from awareness of breathing “The eye receives information from the outside world. But, the eye has no consciousness—it's a physical thing. What has consciousness is our true nature, which is aware of all the sense input that comes in. Who we truly are underneath all our thoughts, emotions, objects of experience, we are that awareness.” –Krishna DasAbout Krishna Das:Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Grammy nominee Krishna Das has been called yoga's “rock star.” With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das – known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD – has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling chant artist of all time. His album ‘Live Ananda' (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.KD spent the late '60s traveling across the country as a student of Ram Dass, and in August 1970, he finally made the journey to India, which led him to Ram Dass' own beloved guru, Neem Karoli Baba, known to most as Maharaj-ji. Krishna Das now travels the world sharing his kirtan practice and wonderful stories of his life, of Maharaji-ji, of his life on the Path and discusses bringing chanting into our lives through retreats and workshops. To date, KD has released 15 well-received albums, most recently Trust in the Heart released in October 2017.MORE INFORMATION and OFFERINGS VISIT: https://krishnadas.com/ KRISHNA DAS ON SOCIAL: FACEBOOK: facebook.com/KrishnaDasMusic INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/krishnadasmusic YOUTUBE: / krishnadasmusic X: @krishnadas #KrishnaDasSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jahnavi Harrison is a Grammy-nominated artist, musician, and practitioner of Bhakti Yoga who has spent her life exploring sound as a path to the divine. Raised at Bhaktivedanta Manor in England, she grew up inside one of the world's most dedicated devotional communities, and in this conversation we trace how that formation shaped her relationship with voice, identity, approval, and what it means to offer your life as a prayer.What We Dive Into:1. Most of us were told at some point to be quiet, to sound better, or to wait until we were good enough. That conditioning runs deep. Reclaiming the voice, whether through kirtan, song, or simply speaking truthfully, is one of the most direct paths back to a self that stopped performing and started expressing.2. Bhakti is not a feeling you arrive at and maintain. It is a daily offering, something you return to moment by moment, especially when you have drifted. Jahnavi's framing is simple: make space for prayer in whatever form feels alive to you, and that space will become a source of nourishment that compounds over time.3. The desire to be accepted can masquerade as discernment, as wisdom, even as calling. Jahnavi traces how much of her own journey involved slowly distinguishing the voice of genuine inner knowing from the much louder voice that simply wanted to be liked. That distinction is not resolved once. It is worked on for life.Know Thyself, but not by yourself. A guided space to return home to yourself.https://www.knowthyselfcollective.com✨THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:https://www.timeline.com/KNOWTHYSELF Save 20% off your Mitopure® Gummieshttps://www.mudwtr.com/knowthyselfUse code KNOWTHYSELF for up to 43% off sitewide___________00:00 Intro01:36 What Devotional Music Actually Is03:12 Sound as a Direct Path to the Divine06:42 Sound as the First and Last Sense09:15 The Sensitivity of Sound and Its Transformative Power12:28 Why We Lose Our Voices: Fear, Shame, and the Voice Unsung16:22 Finding Your Voice and Speaking Your Truth20:17 Discerning Your Own Voice from the Noise of Others23:46 The Missed Flight: Choosing Calling Over Convention29:00 Life as an Offering: Dharma and Letting Go of Outcomes31:54 The Intelligence of the Heart in Bhakti36:22 Nature, Silence, and the Inner Life42:39 Prayer vs. Meditation: Are They the Same?48:32 Prayer as Relationship, Not Request57:54 Kirtan, Mantra, and the Dissolution of Self1:03:25 Kirtan at a Funeral: Sound as Communal Holding1:06:15 Losing and Reclaiming Faith: The Reckoning with Tradition1:13:33 The Role of Trusted Counsel Through Doubt1:15:28 The Grammys and the Tension of Devotional Art in Industry1:21:37 Fame, Ego, and Staying on the Right Track1:25:40 Expanding Beyond Tradition: The Rise Album with Willow1:35:36 Art as Revolution and Service1:38:31 The Coldplay Concert and the Power of Mass Gathering1:43:17 Current Projects and Dreaming Bigger1:51:37 Closing Message: Make Space for Prayer Every Day___________✨MORE FROM JAHNAVI↳Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jahnavi_harrison↳YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/JahnaviHarrisonMusic↳https://www.jahnavimusic.com

Whatever result was obtained in Satya-yuga by meditating on Viṣṇu, in Tretā-yuga by performing sacrifices, and in Dvāpara-yuga by serving the Lord's lotus feet can be obtained in Kali-yuga simply by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra.

In today's sanga, Śrīla Dhanurdhara Swami gives an overview of what has been cover in the Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta thus far and also gives a preview of his Monday Morning Greetings article.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 165 durvitarkyā hi sā śaktir adbhutā pārameśvarī kintv asyaikānta-bhakteṣu gūḍhaṁ kiñcin na tiṣṭhati TRANSLATION Inconceivable indeed is the amazing energy of the supreme controller, but nothing can be hidden from His unalloyed devotees.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 148 pūrva-vad bhajanānandaṁ prāpnuvanti navaṁ navam sarvadāpy aparicchinnaṁ vaikuṇṭhe 'tra viśeṣataḥ TRANSLATION The same kind of ecstasy these devotees previously enjoyed in worshiping the Lord they continue to relish here in Vaikuṇṭha. They obtain it as a unique, uninterrupted, unceasing bliss, newer and newer at every moment.

In this episode of the Integral Yoga Podcast (Ep. 152), we sit down with master percussionist and sound healer Arjun Bruggeman. Known extensively for his decades of touring and playing the tabla alongside kirtan wallah Krishna Das, Arjun shares his profound evolutionary journey from a young punk-rock-loving drummer to a devotional musician and sound journey guide.Arjun opens up about his early life, the hilarious story of how he got his first drum kit, and his first chaotic introduction to the world of kirtan. He dives deep into what happens internally while anchoring a room full of chanters, sharing incredible transcendent experiences of devotion and the feeling of complete stillness on stage.We also explore his shift during the pandemic toward his solo "Sound Journey" work—inspired by the etheric nature of the Northern Lights—and how he uses meditation and ambient percussion to help others drop out of the mind and into the "sensation arts" of the body.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 147 te ca sarve 'tra vaikuṇṭhe śrī-nārāyaṇam īśvaram tat-tad-varṇādi-yuktātma- deva-rūpaṁ vicakṣate TRANSLATION In Vaikuṇṭha each devotee sees the Supreme Lord Śrī Nārāyaṇa in the form of the particular Lord he worships, with suitable complexion and other qualities.

This sacred composition by Guru Arjan Dev Ji (in Raag Jaitsri) delivers a profound message on how to find true mental peace, spiritual purification, and liberation from worldly anxieties.Here is a structured summary of the key spiritual lessons from this passage:1. The Limitation of Worldly Comforts vs. The Power of NaamThe Illusion of Earthly Relief: Guru Ji explains that physical or worldly "coolants"—such as applying soothing sandalwood paste, basking in the cool moonlight, or experiencing the cold season—are entirely powerless when it comes to extinguishing the inner fire (anxiety, ego, and desire) of the human mind.The Ultimate Remedy: True, lasting inner peace and coolness of the soul can only be achieved by meditating on and chanting the Divine Name (Naam).2. The Sanctuary of the Saints (Sangat)Purification through Sangat: Associating with enlightened souls (Saints) purifies one's character and mind.The Ultimate Support: The Merciful Lord protects those who make singing His praises (Kirtan) the central anchor of their lives.A Rare Blessing: Finding the company of such holy people is not an accident; it is obtained only through great destiny and good deeds (high spiritual merit).3. Fearlessness and Inexhaustible WealthEradicating Fear: By listening to the glorious virtues of the Creator, the mind is stripped of all worldly fears, making the practitioner entirely fearless.The True Wealth: Gathering the wealth of the "Naam" is the only investment that never diminishes or suffers a loss.Constant Remembrance: The ultimate spiritual lifestyle is to remain connected to the Divine twenty-four hours a day (all eight pahars), constantly meditating on and listening to His praises.The Essence: Material comforts cannot cure the mind's restlessness. True peace, fearlessness, and spiritual wealth are found by seeking the shelter of the Divine, meditating on His Name, and staying in the company of the saintly.

Krishna Das offers his perspectives on selfless service, committed practice, and uncovering the presence that has always been within.This time on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das discusses:Doing selfless service for others anytime and anywhereKeeping up with our practice in order to receive the fruits Asana and Pranayama to clean our energy channels and heal the bodyUncovering the presence that already exists within us Guru devotion as a means to dissolve the separate selfAbout Krishna Das:Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Grammy nominee Krishna Das has been called yoga's “rock star.” With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das – known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD – has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling chant artist of all time. His album ‘Live Ananda' (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.KD spent the late '60s traveling across the country as a student of Ram Dass, and in August 1970, he finally made the journey to India, which led him to Ram Dass' own beloved guru, Neem Karoli Baba, known to most as Maharaj-ji. Krishna Das now travels the world sharing his kirtan practice and wonderful stories of his life, of Maharaji-ji, of his life on the Path and discusses bringing chanting into our lives through retreats and workshops. To date, KD has released 15 well-received albums, most recently Trust in the Heart released in October 2017.MORE INFORMATION and OFFERINGS VISIT: https://krishnadas.com/ KRISHNA DAS ON SOCIAL: FACEBOOK: facebook.com/KrishnaDasMusic INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/krishnadasmusic YOUTUBE: / krishnadasmusic X: @krishnadas #KrishnaDas“Service can be done anytime, anywhere.

Yet from signs like the paleness of your face you appear depressed, like someone suffering misfortune.

Synchronicity is a powerful complement to music. Magali Hochlander and Jefferson Glassie were both staying at the Devi Music Ashram in February 2026 but didn't know one another when Jefferson coincidentally invited Magali to join him for an evening Kirtan. That led to a sequence of events, as explained in the podcast interview, and now Magali has taken her love for the power of music and Kirtan spiritual music to a new level in India. They talk about all this and discuss Kirtan singing and music, as well as how this ancient practice can help heal the world. With special guest: Magali Hochlander, Kirtan Musician

Shankara Stefan M. singt Krishna Krishna Mahayogin „Krishna Krishna Mahayogin“ ist ein traditionelles Mantra aus der Bhakti-Tradition und eine liebevolle Anrufung Krishnas – der Verkörperung von Freude, Hingabe und göttlicher Liebe. „Mahayogin“ bedeutet „großer Yogi“ und erinnert an die allumfassende, verbindende Kraft des Bewusstseins, die Krishna verkörpert. In vielen spirituellen Traditionen gilt Krishna als Symbol für Liebe, Mitgefühl und das göttliche Spiel des Lebens. Das Singen seines Namens soll das Herz öffnen und die Verbindung zu innerer Freude stärken. Gemeinsam gesungene Mantras können dabei eine Atmosphäre von Verbundenheit, Frieden und Leichtigkeit entstehen lassen.

Kishor Gopal Das - New Vrindavan Kirtan - 6.19.26 by Windy City Kirtans

This morning, just after the program at the Rādhā Govinda Mandir, I took a walk down Nevin Street and turned the corner to the CVS. As I was waiting for Nirākulā Devī Dāsī, my wife—who had some items to purchase—I was chanting outside. I saw a father and son come out; his little boy was probably six, and his face was puckered, and he was crying. His father said to him, "Tell me in words, why you're crying. What's the matter?" But he could only cry. I walked into the store to see, was there something that he wanted or needed in there? I couldn't see anything. What's more, most things were locked up—even the toothpaste, razor blades, anything of significant value was locked behind glass—and I started thinking, "No wonder he's crying." And then I thought, "This is us here in this world; everything we want, that we desire, is locked up." You have to work hard to get anything in this world. The one thing that is free, we don't ask for: it is God's grace. It falleth from the heavens like rain, sun-strained. It comes to everyone, but we're looking for many things that are not worthy of looking for. They're beneath our dignity as souls—the things we seek in this world. So, we have an opportunity to take what's been given to us for free, which gives the highest reward, and it only requires a sincere heart to sing the names of Kṛṣṇa and call out. The mantra is written in a form which allows us to simply call out. We don't need to know any Sanskrit; we just need to have a heart which is yearning to reconnect to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And here's a tune that we do sing when we're in Vṛndāvana and Govardhana Hill, where the devotees naturally love Kṛṣṇa—and at Govardhana Hill every day, they walk around and think of Kṛṣṇa and all those pastimes there in Vṛndāvana. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #kirtan #spiritualmusic #mantramusic #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Kirtan was a practice that touched her deeply, and as a devotee of Neem Karoli Baba, she often participated in kirtan gatherings with fellow devotees, as well as in other ashrams and spiritual communities. For years she held kirtan in her home, and for the past dozen years or so, she has led kirtan formally in yoga studios, spiritual centers, and retreat settings. She has taught workshops and led kirtan on numerous retreats and in satsang with Ram Dass and other spiritual teachers in the U.S. and abroad.About Dreaming Bear: Dreaming Bear is a master word-smith delivering his fervent message with extraordinary verbal dexterity and relevance. He's a nomadic bard, a hip mystic and modern-language Sufic style philosopher-poet. If you'd like to experience a living combination of Spaulding Gray, Rumi, Jack Kerouac, Robin Williams, Shel Silverstein, Michael Talbot and Thich Nhat Hanh, you owe it to yourself to see Dreaming Bear. The foundation for Dreaming Bear's work as a transformational epic orator and poetic storyteller is deeply attuned to the natural world. His work as a university teacher/researcher was further defined by years spent living 'off the grid'. While in a deep communion with what the Hawaiians call the a'ina, or life force of the land, he began to take his artistry to a new level and developed many of the works that have proven to be inspiring to so many.

What if the pain you've been trying to escape is actually the fuel you've been looking for? Recording artist Ben Barbic walked away from alcohol, nicotine, and blood pressure medications at 28 — and built a 15-year operating system for resilience.In this episode of Health Longevity Secrets, Robert Lufkin MD sits down with Ben Barbic — chart-climbing reggae and hip-hop recording artist, San Jose-based studio owner of Where Dreams Sail Studios, and author of the new memoir Rise and Climb: Finding Purpose Through Pain (Skyhorse Publishing / Simon & Schuster, October 15). They talk about the night his childhood home burned down, the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake that destroyed his family's second house, the teddy bear from his young son that triggered his sobriety pivot, the redwood-tree metaphor on the book cover, kirtan and chakra meditation as his entry point to a calmer mind, and how very small daily choices — a single five-minute habit — compound into a completely different life.CHAPTERS:00:00 — Introduction01:08 — Meet Ben Barbic: Recording Artist, Author, and Self-Builder02:00 — Childhood Trauma: When the House Burned Down03:00 — The 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake and the Power of Rebuilding04:01 — Why Music Became His First Anchor as a Child05:02 — The 28th Birthday Pivot: Walking Away from Alcohol and Nicotine06:02 — The Subtraction-Then-Addition Method for Habit Change07:03 — Quitting Blood Pressure Medications and Treating the Root Cause09:04 — The Teddy Bear Moment: How His Son Triggered the Pivot12:04 — Why Tiny Five-Minute Habits Beat Big Resolutions14:05 — The First Three Habits He Added After Sobriety17:07 — Kirtan and Chakra Meditation: A Beginner's Path19:08 — Music, Memory, and the Brain's Storytelling Pathways24:09 — Writing a Memoir: The Hardest Part Is Vulnerability27:10 — Three Lessons for Self-Builders and High Performers30:11 — The Redwood Tree Metaphor on the Book Cover31:11 — Victim Mindset vs Agency: How to Reframe Adversity32:11 — Redefining Success: From Catching Up to Contributing36:12 — The Empty-Nest Pivot and the Next 5 Years38:13 — Final Thoughts: Pursue What Gives You PurposeKEY TAKEAWAYS:Subtract before you add — remove the drainers first, then layer in new habits.Hypertension is rarely solved by stacking more meds — change the upstream inputs and the numbers follow.The pivot moment usually has a single concrete trigger.Five minutes is enough — compounding does the rest.Kirtan plus chakra meditation is a friendly entry point for musicians.Redwood trees regrow tall around old burn scars.Define success by what you can contribute, not by who you can catch up to.LINKS & SOURCES:Rise and Climb: Finding Purpose Through Pain by Ben BarbicBen's music catalog1989 Loma Prieta earthquake background

Krishna Das reflects on Maharaj-ji's teaching that all names, forms, and journeys lead to the same truth.This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das talks about:Neem Karoli's teaching: Sub Ek (all one)Following the heart and our own individual path to GodA dream message that Krishna Das had from Maharaj-jiDeveloping communication skills for improved relationshipsHow being hard on ourselves makes it difficult to offer compassion to othersPutting effort into daily practice Living with ease and being with all experiences, good and bad“Maharaj-ji said one thing to us that was life-changing: sub ek. All one. Many names, many forms, many paths, all one. Different cultures call it by different names, they conceive of it differently, but underneath the thoughts it's all the same…What Jesus realized is the same thing that the yogis in India realized, that the Zen Buddhists, Sufis, Muslims realized. They don't get stuck in the difference of the forms. It's just names; they're all the names of the same thing which is our own true nature.” –Krishna DasAbout Krishna Das:Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Grammy nominee Krishna Das has been called yoga's “rock star.” With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das – known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD – has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling chant artist of all time. His album ‘Live Ananda' (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.KD spent the late '60s traveling across the country as a student of Ram Dass, and in August 1970, he finally made the journey to India, which led him to Ram Dass' own beloved guru, Neem Karoli Baba, known to most as Maharaj-ji. Krishna Das now travels the world sharing his kirtan practice and wonderful stories of his life, of Maharaji-ji, of his life on the Path and discusses bringing chanting into our lives through retreats and workshops. To date, KD has released 15 well-received albums, most recently Trust in the Heart released in October 2017.MORE INFORMATION and OFFERINGS VISIT: https://krishnadas.com/ KRISHNA DAS ON SOCIAL: FACEBOOK: facebook.com/KrishnaDasMusic INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/krishnadasmusic YOUTUBE: / krishnadasmusic X: @krishnadas #KrishnaDasSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
