KIRTAN & SOUND BATH FROM PRANA MANDIR YOGA

March 17th from 4pm to 6pm

At Ahiah Center for Spiritual Living - 150 El Molino Ave, Pasadena

​

In this new year, celebrate sacred sound as a practice of inner strength and joy, as we come togther to build a unique community for Kirtan in Pasadena!

 

The afternoon program begins with yogic breath work to open the senses and bring peace to the mind.Pranayam is a "Breath Bath" and nourishes the internal system profoundly, moving conscious life-energy through the body and mind.

 

The heart of the program is the Kirtan, chanting mantras to create a vibrational cascade of healing. Kirtan is a form of community song and comes from the path called Bhakti Yoga, a direct experience of Universal Love. "An ancient practice, rhythmic repetition of poems, sacred mantras,and prayers for the divine brings us closer to a state of pure, heart-centered consciousness".

A beloved Swami once said, "Every name is filled with countless powers. Sweeter than all sweet things, more auspicious than all good things, purer than all pure things, is the Name ( of the Divine )."

You don't have to know how to chant in Sanskrit or think you have a good voice for a wonderful Kirtan. All voices join together, resonating and unfolding into a higher consciousness for healing energy.

Here is a sample of a mantra we love: https://youtu.be/07xzzLB6Als

We chant our variation of the Ram Mantra at each Kirtan too : Ram Ram Jai Raja Ram | Ram Ram Jai Sita Ram!

 

To close the program there will be time for silence, meditation and deep relaxation. Then, a beautiful Sound Bath with Monica Vargas of CeremoniSounds, taking us into a celestial place with her crystal bowls. Please bring a bottle of water and a yoga mat, blanket or shawl so that you can lay down and be comfortable.
