When several people join together and practice Sankirtan [chanting the Lord’s name], a huge spiritual current, or Mahashakti, is generated. This purifies the heart of the aspirants and elevates them to the sublime heights of Divine ecstasy. -Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga
Devotional singing is a widespread practice in religions and spiritual traditions worldwide. In daily life and in communal celebration, people throughout time and place have given voice to the Divine through song, chant, sound, praise, in monasteries, temples, shrines, churches, ashrams, and other places of worship.
