Akhanda Kirtan, Bhajan, and Mantra Chanting: How Sacred Chants and Mantras Benefit the World

With global turmoil, violence, strife, suffering, and crises, Akhanda Kirtan (unbroken/continuous prayer,) Bhajan (singing praises of God), and Mantra Chanting (repetition of a prayer of choice) are a small contribution toward world peace. The power of the chant is exponential where many people chant non-stop for a period, and has far-reaching long-term benefits for the world. This session focuses on the benefits, intonation, pronunciation, method, and techniques in chanting the Om Sri Ram Jay Ram Jay Jay Ram Mantra, The Panchakshara Mantra (Om Namah Shivaya Mantra), Maha Mantra, and some simple Kirtans and Bhajans. Chanting of sacred Kirtans, Bhajans, and Mantras is a great way to calm the mind, focus one’s mental and physical energy, restoring peace of mind and inner harmony. Participants answer the Divine Life Society of South Africa’s call to action to participate in Akhanda Chanting, contributing to world peace and to one’s individual peace of mind and good health.
