Kirtan, the singing of the many names of and mantras to the God and the Goddess, is perhaps the most important technique in Bhakti yoga, the path of devotion. With the Kirtan! app, world music pioneer Jai Uttal guides you through this practice of reaching across infinite space to touch—and be touched by—divine presence. “Kirtan is a vessel that can hold love, longing, union, separation, lust, despair, mourning, anger, hate, sadness, ecstasy, and oneness. Powered by the fire of these emotions, the chants of Bhakti become like a ship, singing us to the other shore.… Kirtan is food for the spirit, a life raft of song,” teaches Uttal. With this app, use the art and practice of ecstatic chant to set fire to your own soul.
