Kirtan And Chanting For Peace
Every 2nd Saturday, 6:00pm - 7:00pm
Common Room (Hillcrest Campus)
Kirtan is the sanskrit word for the universally recommended spiritual activity of singing or chanting the Holy Names of God prescribed in the Torah, the Holy Bible, The Holy Quran and Vedic scriptures to bring happiness and peace within ourselves and the world through spiritual reawakening.
Kirtan is simple, non-denominational, non-sectarian, requires no experience and is always donation-based. Kirtan is call and response using transcendental sacred mantras (spiritual sound vibrations). Kirtan is a spiritual tool to purify one's consciousness and bring the soul real peace and happiness.
Patita Pavana has been practicing the spiritual activity of Kirtan and Mantra Meditation daily for almost 17 years. These spiritual tools were passed onto her by her spiritual teacher Srimati Katyayani Devi dasi Thakurani and are part of the Bhakti Yoga lifestyle. Bhakti means love and devotion to God, and Yoga means the soul’s connection to God with Love.
As the Community Project Coordinator for the musical peace troupe, Spirit Soul And Friends, Patita Pavana and the group have been sharing Kirtan and Mantra Meditation for over 20 years to adults and children at festival events, private and corporate events in communities throughout San Diego County, Orange County, Ventura County, Joshua Tree, Las Vegas, Arizona and North Carolina for 17 years offering the ability for all souls to experience the inner peace and happiness that singing God’s Names awakens and enlivens.
Come relax in peace and bathe in the beautiful transcendental spiritual sound vibrations of sacred mantras that feed and nourish the spirit soul.
