Kirtan / Golden moon celebration

Welcome to this golden full moon kirtan, celebrating the truth of goodness, joy and loving devotion in our hearts through mantra singing and dancing.

On this very auspicious day of Gaura purnima, coinciding with the Holi festival of color, we invite you to join us for an extra festive and joyful kirtan experience. The Holi festival usually celebrates the victory of goodness in our hearts, and also markes the return of the liveliness of spring. Let's gather to sing and dance for the happiness and goodness of all.

The kirtan is guided by Nora on harmonium & Christian on guitar, both practicing yogies and devotional musicians. With us this evening we are soo so happy to have Mira Beckstrøm, bringing deep feelings with her cello.

To facilitate a smooth landing into our hearts we will be offering warm ceremonial cacao for purchase at the event.

HARI HARI BOL and a big hug from Nora, Mira & Christian

- - - -  ABOUT KIRTAN & GAURA PURNIMA - - - -

Blending mantra song and meditation, this ancient practice of bhakti yoga was developed to clear the mind, open the heart and invite into ones life a tangible and intimate connection to deeper aspects of ourselves and the universe. Between the chants we come back to silence, and share stories explaining the meaning of the mantras.

Gaura Purnima is celebrated every year as the appearance day of the founder of Bhakti yoga, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
