Join Jaya Madhava Das (aka James Cennamo) at Dóchas House of Yoga for an evening of Kirtan! 

Kirtan is a call and response form of chanting mainly compromised of Sanskrit mantras. When chanting these mantas, we call out to the Divine. Mantra is a Sanskrit word composed of two sounds: “man” means mind and “tra” means to cross over or protect. Kirtan means to “to speak of” or “to mention”. The world is sound.

All that is manifest proceeds from sound and continues to pulsate at sound vibration. There are no hard and fast rules for chanting! If you feel like chanting, go ahead, and if not, enjoy the chanting. This is community chanting, and an opportunity to be open together in community in a sacred space. 

Jaya has been involved with Kirtan since 1993. In 2006, he founded Govinda Sky, a transcendental music group that has played at various studios around New England. Since relocating to Salem MA in 2021, the Kirtan group has played around the North Shore. 

Donations accepted at the studio the evening of the event! 

ALL are welcome! Just bring yourself, in comfortable clothing. We can't wait to see you there!
