About Kirtan

What Is Kirtan

Kirtan is the heart and soul of yoga. Often described as "meditation of the heart" kirtan is the hearing and singing of mantras or transcendental sounds. Weaving together melody, music and mantra in an interactive experience with people responding to the words of the singer, clapping, swaying and sometimes dancing, kirtan is simultaneously a meditative, exhilirating and fun activity.

What Is Mantra

A mantra is a transcendental sound vibration. "Man" means mind and "Tra" means to draw away or free. By meditating on these sacred sounds we free the mind and heart of the stress and worries of life and begin to taste the happiness that we are always searching for.

Our Kirtan Leaders

Long time Bhakti yoga practitioner and harmonium artist, Madya Lila dasi is known for her angelic voice and has helped the band gain recognition for skilfully combining the ancient mantras of yoga with the rhythms and melodies of the modern world. Raised in a family of yogis, yoga has been a part of Madya Lila's life from birth. She enjoys sharing her lifelong love of kirtan, meditation, asanas and the deeper spiritual practices the yoga tradition has to offer.

Kirtan Groups

We also have various local sacred music bands that come and lead kirtan at The Mantra Room. They are all volunteers who are motivated out of a love of Kirtan.

Ashraya

Six friends bonded by a love of sacred music, transcendental sound, mantra meditation, kirtan and yoga wisdom became... Ashraya. Our goal is to share the Divine Names with every pair of ears on the planet.

Ashraya means transcendental shelter, refuge that is beyond the ordinary, beyond the temporary, beyond the mundane. It is in transcendental sound that we find true shelter from the storms of life because it is through mantra, the Divine Names, that we connect with the Supreme Person, the Lord of our hearts, our True Friend.

Travel on the waves of sacred sound and find your safe harbour, your rock, your foundation, your shelter from the storms. Kirtan brings us joy and we find happiness sharing it with everyone we meet!

Ashraya play every week at The Mantra Room and at special kirtan events and festivals around Australia & internationally.

Yadunandana das & Friends

Yadunandana das & Friends are a super relaxed kirtan band who play at The Mantra Room every Wednesday night. Expect a mix of soaring kirtan tunes and soothing mellow chants, all complimented by Yadu's signature smooth vocals

Circle of Friends

Adventure seekers, yogis, sacred music lovers, foodies and creatives - our circle of friendship expands infinitely to include everyone we meet. Circle of Friends play at The Mantra Room every Friday night for Candlelight Kirtan.

Pralad And The Chants

Well known for their Chant for Peace Festivals, their Acoustic Journey Kirtans and amazing Rock Out Dancefests. This tight knit trio of great musicians create a perfect musical springboard for the beautiful yoga mantras that cleanse our mind and heart of all tension and anxiety leaving us feeling refreshed, happy and peaceful.
