Gayatri Kirtan

w. Jaya Deva

Come and sing with Jaya Deva!

We will celebrate the Gayatri Jayanti.

We will open and close with the Gayatri Mantra, and we will sing other Kirtans too!

Also we will share a beautiful and interesting story between the kirtans related to the event.

ABOUT CHANTING

When we chant we go deeper into ourselves, to our presence, to the now, to the awareness.

We let ourselves to flow in the waves and vibrations of the mantras, and we go deeper and deeper.

When we chant, our feeling, our state of being changes, and thoughts and tendencies calm down.

And we experience the gunas, the three states, tamas, rajas, and finally we settle in sattva guna, a beautiful luminous state of being.
