Niranjana Swami Kirtan Mela in Mayapur 2026. Enjoy transcendental spiritual experience of Holy Names

Mayapur was the birthplace of Kirtan. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu had introduced the ancient call and response singing of God’s names there in the 1500s. What’s more, the original Naimisaranya was located in Godrumadvipa, just a stone’s throw from Mayapur. The first Mayapur Kirtan Mela, held from February 22nd to 25th 2012, was a huge success. The amount of devotees participating for at least some time every day neared five thousand. And ISKCON Mayapur management promptly decided it would be an annual event. This year, a huge crowd of devotees from all over the world once again gathered for the second Mayapur Kirtan Mela. The Kirtan Mela is more than just a transcendental jam session. It’s a communal prayer. When we pray together, we can increase the depth and intensity of our own chanting by accessing all that beautiful consciousness from everyone else as well. So the first year, it took devotees a few days to understand this difference between a regular kirtan and the Kirtan Mela. But this year, from the moment the first note on the harmonium was touched, everybody was there. Everyone was fully present. “How to be happy?
