Kirtan & Dance

Why Should We Dance in Kirtan? 

Every living being has a natural tendency to dance and seek joy. In modern times, this tendency is expressed through artificial forms of dancing such as clubs, film songs, and loud music, which increase lust and inner dissatisfaction. The Vedas explain that true and natural happiness comes from dancing in the sankirtan of the holy names of the Lord. Such dancing purifies the heart and gives a deep, lasting spiritual bliss that remains memorable throughout life.
