Spring Retreat through Labour Weekend 23-26 Oct. 2020 in Motueka, Nelson
The Kiirtan Baba Nam Kevalam was introduced by Baba Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji on 8th October 1970 at Amjharia District Forest guest house , in the state of Bihar(present state of Jharkhand) in India. Baba said Kiirtan is very very important for good meditation. By doing Sadhana (meditation) our minds move towards the Supreme Consciousness (God) but when we sing Kiirtan the Lord moves towards us. Kiirtan helps to raise devotion.
Benefits of Kiirtana (Baba Nam Kevalam)
“The physical afflictions of this material world are caused partly by nature, and partly by human beings themselves. Now, whatever might be the physical miseries – be they natural or man-made – if people collectively chant kiirtana, the calamities are dispelled then and there. In case of natural calamities like flood, famine, drought or epidemic, or man-made calamities, miseries and tortures – if kiirtana is chanted with maximum sincerity, it will bring direct relief in no time.
In addition, kiirtana removes the collective psychic afflictions as well – those which are already existing, and those which have not yet arrived but about which we have premonitions of their impending arrival. If kiirtana is done in advance, those impending troubles disappear. Why do they disappear? They are dispelled not merely because of the collective mental force of so many people, but also due to the impact of so many minds moving with tremendous speed under the inspiration of Parama Puruśa.”
