Hindu Perspectives on Wholeness and Kirtan

Hindu Perspectives on Wholeness and Kirtan

On Sunday April 28 we were joined by Neelkanth Mishra (in Blue Vest), his family and friends. Neelkanth shared readings from the Upanishads and spoke to us on wholeness from a Hindu perspective.
As a part of that service we delighted to experience a sample Kirtan experience. Kirtan is described by the “New World Kirtan: Calming Chants for a Crazy World” website as:
“Kirtan is non-denominational, the Universal language of Spirit, the song of the Soul. Everyone experiences Kirtan differently, and it doesn’t have to be a religious experience. You can think of it as a sing-along…. The wallah (leader) sings the mantra, and the audience sings it back. A single chant can go on for up to forty minutes. As you sing with each other you experience a deep connection with the musicians, the other audience members and yourself. And when the music stops, your mind is quiet.”
On June 26th we will have another kirtan. Click the link to learn more.

Kirtan Event on June 26th at 7pm

Kirtan is a form of participatory, devotional call-and-response chanting which originated in India. When we sing together, we create a collective sacred attunement; and when we sing divine names and sacred syllables, our level of attunement is even higher. Singing kirtan is not about singing “well” or perfectly, but about the sacred act of using your own voice to connect with the divine. It's a very liberating practice for those who are uncomfortable with their own voices. No singing experience is necessary. All ages welcome. For more information

Who we are

We are a liberal religious community of people of all ages who hold diverse theological beliefs. We come not only from Harvard, but also from many surrounding towns. We gather together "in the spirit of love," to worship, to learn, and to care for one another. We come together both to be comforted and accepted for who we are, and to be challenged to transform and grow as moral and spiritual persons.

We believe in the value of personal experience and reason, and use both as we explore the wisdom of the world's religious traditions, seeking to find and make meaning for ourselves. We celebrate and honor the prophetic words and deeds of many of those who've come before us, which call us to serve not only one another, but also those outside of our community. We long for a world that is fair and just and filled with compassion, and we work to make it so.

We welcome you! We'd love to have you join us on our journey!
