Sivananda Kirtan: VANDE GURUDEV | TTC Refresher | Ashram de Yoga Sivananda | June 2026

Om Namah Sivaya! Kirtans are central to Sivananda Yoga, as they are a vital aspect of Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion. These devotional chants and songs express and cultivate love and devotion towards the divine. In Sivananda Yoga, Kirtans serve several purposes: 1. Spiritual Upliftment: Kirtans elevate the mind and spirit, fostering peace, joy, and a sense of connection with the divine. 2. Mental Focus: The repetitive, melodic nature of Kirtans helps practitioners concentrate and quiet the mind, supporting meditation. 3. Community and Togetherness: Singing Kirtans in a group fosters unity and a shared spiritual experience, strengthening the community. 4. Emotional Release: Kirtans allow individuals to express emotions and release stress, leading to emotional healing and balance. 5. Energy Activation: The vibrations of chanting can activate and harmonise energy centres in the body, promoting overall well-being. Incorporating Kirtans into practice aligns with Swami Sivananda's teachings, which emphasise integrating various paths of yoga to achieve holistic development and spiritual growth.
