If you’re searching for a clear answer, kirtan chanting—also known as devotional chanting—is the heart-centered practice of using sacred mantras and melodies to calm the mind, connect with your spirit, and cultivate a sense of peace and belonging. In my experience, it’s a soul-nourishing way to release stress, open to love, and feel united in community. If you want to truly understand how this powerful practice works and make it your own, keep reading—I’ll guide you through everything you need to know.
The Shift Network Presents: Enter Into the Heart Through Chanting Practice with Krishna Das: A Kirtan Musical Experience to Find Loving Presence & Peace of Mind: Discover how devotional chanting mantras, a form of devotional prayer helps you ‘sit differently in your heart’.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is the original recorded event due to the significant popularity of this online course by Krishna Das. You can now watch it at your convenience.
Kirtan chanting is a musical and spiritual tradition rooted in the ancient practice of Bhakti yoga, the path of devotion. At its heart, kirtan is accessible to all: a leader (like Krishna Das) chants a mantra or sacred phrase, and participants echo in response. This simple, uplifting format allows everyone—regardless of musical expertise—to join in and feel its resonance. With repetition and heart-focused singing, kirtan leads you from the chatter of the mind into the welcoming embrace of stillness and unity.

The ancient sages understood something that science is now affirming: chanting has a powerful positive effect on our mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Kirtan helps calm the nervous system, reduces feelings of stress and anxiety, and gently quiets negative self-talk. Many people find that regular chanting opens the heart, encourages emotional release, and restores a natural sense of joy and belonging—no special skills required, just your willingness to show up and participate.
Absolutely not! Kirtan is about connection, not perfection. As Krishna Das himself often says, “If you can talk, you can chant.” The event is open to every voice, and the beauty lies not in the performance, but in the authenticity and presence you bring. Whether you sing softly or boldly, whether you follow every note or simply allow the sound to wash over you, you’ll belong here. Let go of the notion of “good” or “bad”—your voice is enough.

KD spent the late ’60s traveling across the country as a student of Ram Dass. In August 1970, he finally made the journey to India, which led him to Ram Dass’ own beloved guru, Neem Karoli Baba, known to devotees as Maharaj-ji.
Given the name Krishna Das, KD began to chant as part of following the path of Bhakti yoga, the yoga of devotion.
“The chanting music just hits you and you want to be a part of it,” KD promises. “That’s the point of this whole thing. That’s what cuts through all the ‘stuff.’ You get lit up. You don’t have to know what it means.”
