Kirtan - music meditation for healing (Little India)
2024-05-03 19:30 - 21:00 | Ashtanga Yoga Nilayam Singapore, 68B Race Course Road, 215871
About this event

Many of think of Yoga as physical exercises to enhance one’s physique, with an occasional short meditation for its calming effects. But that is only the tip of the iceberg. How do we we deal with our intense human emotions or trauma that accumulated as we progress in our lives?

According to ancient yoga, the human body is made up of the multiple layers—physical, mental, emotional; and there are many practices to bring light to our being.

Emotions are vital and sacred; like pockets of energy waiting to be released; emotions are not obstacles but our guiding lights to finding the ultimate bliss in life. The ancient yogis gave us Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion, to channel that energy and guide us back to our source.

Bhakti is about a relationship with the universe and it is all encompassing that it embraces every color on the emotional spectrum. In Bhakti Yoga, we lead with our hearts. We sing, we dance, we play music, write poetry, cook, paint and do everything with love —as part of our interaction with the Divine.

Kirtan, the practice of chanting mantras, is perhaps the most important technique in bhakti yoga (Man means “Mind” and Tra means “to Control”).

The practice is simple but internally it works magic in our hearts. Externally, we’re just repetitively singing with simple melodies and a few Sanskrit words. But it helps us to put our analytical minds aside and singing from within. We sing from our heart that is crying out for love. We channel whatever emotion we’re feeling into our voice.

Deep healing happens, walls will melt, wounds will heal, trauma will heal, hate & unforgiveness will dissolve. Long-submerged emotions come to the surface.

As we sing, we immerse ourselves in an endless river of love from the universe. And we enter into a meditative & blissful state that allow our hearts to heal and re-open the infinite universal source of love within us.

There is no need to understand the language of the mantra. No need for mental speculation nor any intellectual adjustment. It is automatic, from the spiritual platform, and anyone can take part without any previous qualification.

Sembawang is renowned for its vibrant history, having been home to a rubber estate, the British naval base and multi-ethnic communities. However, did you know that Sembawang was also affectionately called Kochu Keralam or “Little Kerala” in yesteryears? This was due to the large Malayalee community who lived and worked there, forming key associations such as the Sree Narayana Mission, Naval Base Kerala Library and Singapore Kathakali Yogam. The Malayalees hail from the South Indian state of Kerala and form the second largest sub-ethnic group within Singapore’s Indian population. Join us for a weekend of engaging bus tours as we explore selected historical areas and landmarks on the National Heritage Board’s Sembawang Heritage Trail. The tours will be led by independent researcher Marcus Ng, who conducted research for the trail.
