Founded: September 22, 2009

All of us share an interest in sacred chant known as "kirtan," a devotional practice of singing, drumming, and participating in group energy for the purpose of elevating the spirit, building community, and realizing interconnectedness. The practice originated in India millennia ago, but has been popularized in the West by singers such as Krishna Das, Jai Uttal, Wah!, Dave Stringer, Deva Premal, Bhagavan Das, David Newman (Durga Das), etc. This list will be a place to share information about local kirtan events and other sacred/vibrational singing, music, and/or drumming in the Metro DC area.

COMMUNITY KIRTAN
Sunday, Dec. 6th, 2009

Metro DC Kirtan is a group made up entirely of the contributions of its members -- potluck style!

Bring your instrument or a recording of a mantra you love, and print out the words so that people can learn. We traditionally sit in a circle and do both call-and-response and unison singing/chanting supported by a variety of instruments. Read more

  “I joined because I love devotional singing. I also love to lead groups in universal kirtan--i.e., devotional chanting from many faith traditions, including Hindu, Sufi, Jewish, Christian, Buddhist and others.”
