Chant and Sing for Peace in our Community

  • Atmavidya Yoga and Meditation 10 Plover Street Christchurch, Canterbury, 8062 New Zealand (map)

The practice will begin at 5.30pm with Mantra Meditation practice and chanting of Mahamrityunjaya. This allows expansion of connection with courage and transformation in the face of the challenges of life. We extend this resonance of the mantra to all beings to help grow our collective wisdom and compassion.

The Mahamrityunjaya chanting practice will be followed by the mantra meditation practice of Kirtan from at 6.00pm. Kirtan is an easeful way to create a feeling of internal space, and freedom. The mantras sensitise us and polish away the clutter of the mind, gently melting any numbness in our hearts so that we can feel clear, awake and brilliantly alive.

Followed by: shared plant based meal. (A nourishing vegan and gluten free meal will be provided.  If you have capacity to bring food to share, wonderful but not essential.)

Time: 5.30pm

Venue: Plover Street, Southshore

Contribution: by Koha for Peace in our community to Yoga Education in Prisons Trust

"It was found that during repetitive singing of kirtan,

the brain registers the sound waves, nada,

which influence all other wave patterns of the brain.

These waves awaken alpha rhythms which immediately induce tranquility. 

Thus by singing kirtan, we experience peace of mind."

Swami Satyananda Saraswati
