About the Kirtan Course

Traditional Kirtan Lessons in Rishikesh

Kirtan is the heart of devotional singing in India — a joyful call-and-response chanting of sacred names and mantras. Our program teaches both the music and the spirit of kirtan.

You will learn simple melodies, common kirtans (Hare Krishna, Om Namah Shivaya, Radhe Radhe and more), harmonium support and how to lead a group.

This course is for singers of every level — no experience needed to start.
