Kirtan with Travis Eliot
Kirtan comes from the yoga path of Bhakti (love and devotion). It is the chanting of traditional Sanskrit mantras synergized with dynamic melodies. It is the calling, the yearning, the crying to connect with the divine. The beauty is that chanting shows us we are already in this state of "oneness," it's just about dissolving the maya (illusion) of separateness.
Chanting ignites every life-tron of our being absorbing us into a state of bliss. Add the power of chanting within a group setting and ecstasy becomes absolutely boundless!! Kirtan is for anyone and everyone regardless of background. It is the universal language of the heart...
It has been an honor to lead kirtan. Outside of being a husband and father it passionately fuels my life. Singing kirtan has pervaded and transformed all aspects of my existence. I have had the pleasure of singing kirtan within the confines of my bedroom, singing to my daughter with tears of joy soaking my cheeks, I've traveled and sang in yoga centers throughout California, I've chanted deep in dark caves underneath the mountains of Kauai, I've sang at many sunrise kirtans on picturesque beaches in Thailand and India, and sat around the fire singing with sadhus and saints in the holy city of Vrindavan. It continues to lead me to many amazing places, and many situations and every time the same thing happens, my mind lets go and and my heart explodes with infinite joy!!!
Much Love,
