Kirtan is a powerful medium to transform consciousness....to open our hearts.......to lift our spirits......to give voice to our deepest yearnings....to invoke peace. 

Kirtan is one of the oldest sacred singing traditions of the world. It is fun…….it is easy, and it makes you feel great! We sing in a simple call-and response style repeating simple mantras over and over again until it absorbs every ounce of our attention. There are drums, keyboard, guitar, harmonium and percussion to accompany our voices…...it is interactive and unifying…...it is a natural way to tune into the frequency of LOVE!

Check out this article published in the International Herald Tribune and the NY Times on the growing popularity of kirtan!

This is a poster we created for our CD release party held September 25, 2009 ANNOUNCING AN EVENING OF CHANTING TO BENEFIT THE BOYS' CHOIR OF TALLAHASSEE AND TO CELEBRATE THE RELEASE OF THE BRAND NEW CD "LAKULISH LOVE" 
The CD' s completion is the culmination of a long journey that was set into motion in 2007, and really  took on steam when Shri Ashutosh Muni came to Tallahassee and essentially  created that fertile ground  for newborn faith. 

 "With the help of members of Om Sweet Om, and many other fine musicians of Tallahassee, including the Boys' Choir of Tallahassee, who took part in the challenges and the joys of allowing the music and the chant to move through us, I found that the CD became a physical manifestation of the journey of transformation, the awakening of a newborn faith." says Shyam.
