Kirtan is a centuries-old practice rooted in Hindu traditions, and it involves chanting or singing mantras, which are sacred sounds or words. The intention is often devotional, aiming to connect with a higher consciousness or divine energy.
While kirtan has its roots in Hinduism, it has also gained popularity in other spiritual and yoga communities worldwide. The documentary “MANTRA – Sounds into Silence” explores the diverse ways in which people from different backgrounds and spiritual traditions engage with and find meaning in the practice of kirtan. It also features the artists and musicians who are the focus of this new music-based movement.
