Itโs magical and the positive vibes ripple out helping raise the vibration of our world!
Kฤซrtan and chanting is more popular than ever! If you've felt the profound collective effervescence created by a skillful leader, you know. โ
โ
But have you ever thought about WHY? It's unique because participants in the chant experience get to enjoy both: โ
โ
1โ
listening to a leader sing or chant a mantra (and often accompanied by wonderfully skilled musicians in the kฤซrtan band!) โ
This activates the mirror neurons or what I connect to the "guru principle", giving the participant a sense of aspirational elation when observing someone do something that's not currently within their own scope of embodiment... a similar joy that a football fan has when their favorite player scores a goal. (See Vilayanur Ramachandran's classic TED talk!)โ
โ
2โ
direct sensory experience of singing the Sanskrit mantra or devotional poem, when the call-and-response is in the "response" stage. This allows the participant to feel in their own vocal instrument how the vibration of the musical tones and mantric syllables affects them.โ
โ
When led well, so that the participant is encouraged to go within themselves (not simply treat it like a rock concert where all attention is on the performing musician) kฤซrtan chanting is a powerful strategy to experience community effervescent JOY!โ
โ
The wonderful thing about making kฤซrtan emphasis on the participant's experience (not the leader/performer's self-expression/ego) is that it also simplifies the musical and mantric complexity, lowering the bar to entry so that all can enjoy regardless of musical experience or vocal expertise!โ
