Kirtan lovers join us on our…
Jamming with God
Home Kirtan Gathering!
Calling out to hungry hearts
Everywhere through endless time
You who wander you who thirst
I offer you this Bodhi Mind
Calling all you hungry spirits
Everywhere through endless time
Calling all you hungry hearts
All the lost and left behind
Gather round and share this meal
Your joy and sorrow
I make it mine
“…with just a little understanding of music and rhythm and a lot of self acceptance we all can sing and lead and share our hearts with others. The practice of chanting, itself, can become our teacher, guiding us home.” – Jai Uttal
Rama Bolo Rama Bolo, Bolo Bolo Ram
Seetaa Bolo Seetaa Bolo Bolo Bolo Ram
Hanuman Bolo Hanuman Bolo Bolo Bolo Ram
“Oh, my friends, sing the Name of God! When it gets too damn hard, just sing. Have no fear, don’t give up. Sing! When it gets too good, sing. When it falls apart, sing. When it comes together, sing. Cry and sing. Sing and cry. Living sing. Dying sing. Listening sing. Singing sing.”
— Krishna Das’ interpretation of Rama Bolo from his CD, Live… on Earth
Details:
- We will meet the second and fourth Thursdays 7 to 9pm starting on May 12th, 2011
- Please send us an email to info@skillsforawakening.com if you would like to participate. We will then send you the address and parking instructions. Our practice is located in the area of Coral Gables, Miami.
- If you have instruments (harmonium, drums, shakers, tabla, etc) please bring them. If you don’t have any, it’s OK, your voice is the best instrument you can have and share.
- Bring the necessary props for your comfort: seating cushion, blanket, water, mosquito repellent (in case we decide to enjoy the stars from the wood deck).
We come together to celebrate our yearning to experience the Divine within and to open our hearts more and more. None of us are ‘kirtan experts’; we are just simple yogis that have found in devotion a place we call home. We have no agenda to follow rather than what our hearts can tell us at every moment. So if you want to explore a little bit of devotional chanting in the company of like-minded and like-hearted people…you are welcome!
Namaste,
Julia and Ram Giri
