I love kirtan. And I especially love Krishna Das’s kirtans. So this last December I sought out and experienced the joining of many blisses- Maui, kirtan, and Krishna Das. Maui is on its own so healing, so when I combined Maui’s atmosphere of total embrace with Krishna Das’s kirtan in Haiku, Maui I experienced one of the most joyful times in my life.
When we do kirtan, the practice of what in India is called “chanting the Divine Name” over the course of a few hours, we are letting go of our “stories” and offering ourselves into the moment over and over again. Chanting is a way of deepening the moment, of deepening our connection with ourselves, the world around us, and other beings. The Sanskrit chants that we sing come from a place deep within each of us, so they have the power to draw us back within. If we go deep enough, we will all arrive at the same place, our deepest Being.

Is your ability to do things in the world enhanced or hindered when you are happy?
Sadhguru, Founder of the Isha Foundation
The world doesn’t need what you do, it needs your energy of aliveness, of joy. The world needs people who are alive. So look within, come alive and live your joy. Be who you are and be amazed at how this harmoniously serves the whole.
