Ananda Kirtan: An Evening of Devotional Chanting and Community

 

Tues. June 19, 5:30-7pm, Free!

Join the next generation of Ananda, a community and worldwide movement to help you find joy within yourself, for an uplifting evening of chants and songs. The practice of chanting, known as kirtan, opens the heart, allowing us to express devotion and feel the presence of the Divine more deeply. The chants offered this evening are mostly composed and written by Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda. We will sing in English and occasionally in Italian and Sanskrit. Newcomers can quickly catch on to these simple yet powerful chants – the lines repeat and the melodies are easy to learn. Short periods of silent meditation are interspersed between chants in order to cultivate a deeper experience. At the end will be an opportunity to connect and learn more about Ananda, community living, and upcoming events. 

 

Ananda Worldwide is a global movement based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, who showed how everyone can realize the Divine in their daily lives as a tangible, loving reality.  Ananda.org
