Welcome to this online course introducing you to your harmonium and how to play some simple Kirtan to enrich your personal spiritual practice. Kirtan is a deep dive into the heart through song. It is a conversation with that inner place in each one of us that is ever unified with everything in creation. Each Kirtan repeats simple mantras which invoke a trance-like state within, as well as evoking the spirit of Bhakti: the mood of love.
