Kirtan Jam

Hello friends!! K has graciously opened her home to host an Open Kirtan Community Jam! Please come if you feel compelled to lead a chant, play instruments, or request a chant we can learn. Of course, please come to just chant too! That is the most important aspect, after all!

Think of it as an open mic meets jam sesh, but for kirtan!

I like to describe Kirtan, in simple terms, as a chanting meditation. When you chant in Sanskrit, and repeat the mantra over and over, it vibrates your vocal chords and resonates through your whole body. When everyone in the room is chanting together, that vibration unifies us on a cellular level and allows us to access and connect with the Divine within ourselves and each other. It is one of the main practices of Bhakti Yoga, which is another path of Yoga, which unites our mind, body, and spirit.

Feel free to bring some food to share or an instrument to play.

Any and all are welcome to join!

Time: 6pm - 9ish

Address: 5914 Johnson Ave. Bethesda, MD 20817

If you want to sit on the floor, it might be wise to bring something to sit on - Zafu or pillow or the like.
