Minnesota Kirtan Gatherings - Chanting, Meditation & More

Zikr means the Sufi Ceremony of the Remembrance of God, a traditional ecstatic practice of the Sufis.
We are doing Zikr Allah mostly. This is what causes the drunkenness Rumi refers to so frequently.
Sometimes we do a bit of Kirtan, sometimes a bit of the Words of Jesus in Aramaic, sometimes other things.
God is One and can be approached from any direction.
No tightness, no dogma, no "you have to be a certain way."

The people come because it allows an emotional reset, a coming to essence, a true sharing with both Allah and your fellow singers.

It is a remedy for living in troubled times. We don't want to leave one another at the end.

There is an in-person meeting every Wednesday at 7:00 at the Light Upon Light Sufi Center. You can also attend by Zoom.
We read Rumi aloud in the breaks between singing. His poems speak of the states brought about by zikr, and of the Path of the Heart.

To attend: send an email to Hakim at [email protected] and ask to be sent the link and address for the meeting.

Come join us for a blissful evening of kirtan at Greenway Yoga! Let's chant and sing together, immersing ourselves in devotional music that will uplift your spirit and soothe your soul. Whether you're new to kirtan or a seasoned chanter, all are welcome to participate in this community gathering.

Experience the power of mantra and the joy of sacred music in a warm and inviting space. Mark your calendar and bring your friends for a night of heart-opening and mind-calming melodies. See you there!

Kirtan weaves music and mantra together as a part of Bhakti yoga, the path of divine love. We'll be chanting and connecting to our hearts through poetry, song, and the sounds of the harmonium, violin and guitar.
All faiths and cultural backgrounds are welcome as we explore Sanskrit chants, Sufi poetry, and soulful prayers. Donation accepted. Offered in the spirit of Dana (joyful giving).
Please stay home if you are feeling sick, or have recently been in contact with someone that has a contagious illness. Blankets will be available for sitting on, though you are welcome to bring your own mediation cushion or chair as well. Entrance and parking is around the back.
