Kirtanadam by Adam S. Callejon, Shivananda Sharma, Nathalie Nichanian, and friends

Kirtan songs recorded in Rishikesh, in Swami Rama ashram
All compositions originals except last track (Sri Ram Jay Ram)
These songs are specifically designed to sing along in call and response.

In India, the kirtan singer composes his own songs on traditional mantras or prayers, and one appreciates not only its rich melodies but also his ability to lead us to the heart of music, sacred in nature. The feeling of relaxation, centering and energy created by singing Kirtan is a deeply inspiring experience, which opens the heart and reveals our true nature. Practiced in the form of a chant to respond it is an ideal way to experience the joy of singing in a group !

«Kirtan is an important aspect of Yoga. As a dessert is incomplete without sugar, yoga is also incomplete without kirtan. Kirtan is not a religious song, nor just to sing a word repeatedly. It is part of Nada Yoga, the yoga of sound, in which you produce sound waves that you follow with consciousness. By kirtan singing you can withdraw from the sensations and the external environment. [...] The practice of kirtan you bypass the mind.»
Swami Satyananda Saraswati
