Indian music is a subjective\, spiritual\, and individualistic art\, aiming not at symphonic brilliance but at personal harmony with the Oversoul. The Sanskrit word for musician is bhagavathar\, “he who sings the praises of God.” The sankirtans or musical gatherings are an effective form of yoga or spiritual discipline\, necessitating deep concentration\, intense absorption in the seed thought and sound. Because man himself is an expression of the Creative Word\, sound has the most potent and immediate effect on him\, offering a way to remembrance of his divine origin.” \n–P. Yogananda in Autobiography of a Yogi URL:https://anandakolkata.org/event/sing-along-of-swami-kriyanandas-music/ LOCATION:Online Zoom Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://anandakolkata.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/sing-along.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20200417T190000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20200417T210000 DTSTAMP:20260405T213638 CREATED:20200413T123236Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200417T095142Z UID:2018-1587150000-1587157200@anandakolkata.org SUMMARY:Kriyaban Meditation DESCRIPTION:Online Guided Meditation by Brahmachari Jemal (This is only for Ananda Kriyabans) \nLink will be shared with interested Kriyabans \nThis is a FREE event. \nIf you feel inspired to support us you can click below for donation.
