After a few moments, Manish gently broke the silence, “Listen to the
waves, and then listen to the space between the waves. Find yourself in
that space.” This is where the kirtan had carried us, to this space,
this deep silence between the waves. As Manish spoke to us, I could
still feel the mantra coursing through my bloodstream with each
heartbeat, Snatam’s voice carrying on into the silence. I felt such a
sense of joy, my heart wanted to burst. I looked around and saw my
emotions mirrored in the expressions of the people surrounding me. And
suddenly, there was no space between the person next to me and me. We
became so deeply connected by that shared experience, that there was an
intimacy created beyond explanation. I did not know these people before
we arrived at this kirtan event, but we left as family.
This experience of deep connectedness and community is being
expressed by people attending kirtan gatherings and concerts all over
the world. For many, kirtan has become their favorite practice of
devotion, but for some, kirtan is a completely new experience. The idea
of chanting in a group is completely foreign to them.
