The root is found in the Samhitas, Brahmanas, and Vedic literature, as well as in Vedanga and Sutra literature. Kirtan, sometimes referred to as sankirtana (literally, &#8220;collective performance&#8221;), <strong>is a call-and-response singing or musical conversation<\/strong>, a genre of religious performative arts that developed within the devotional traditions of India.<\/p>\n<h2>Kirtan: An ancient practice based on singing and sound<\/h2>\n<p>Kirtan is a diverse practice that varies regionally and includes different musical instruments, dance, prayer, theater, audience participation, and moral narration. In many traditions, kirtan is a <strong>call-and-response performance<\/strong> involving devotional dance and singing by a lead singer and the audience. Kirtan is <strong>often accompanied by musical instruments<\/strong> such as the Harmonium, veena or ektara (stringed instruments), tabla (single-headed drums), mrdanga or pakhawaj (double-sided drums), flute (wind instruments), and karatala or tala (cymbals).<\/p>\n<h2>Kirtan Practices at Holismos Center in Varese<\/h2>\n<p>At Holismos Yoga &amp; Wellness, we <strong>use various forms of traditional kirtan<\/strong> derived from Hindu and Buddhist traditions, as well as <strong>Christian prayers<\/strong> and practices from other traditions. <strong>Singing lifts the spirit<\/strong>, and for this reason, all religious traditions, in addition to prayer, use singing in its various forms as a <strong>principal tool to elevate individual energy and spirit<\/strong>.
