Description
On the first Saturday of the month, is the Manly Yoga Havan and Kirtan program.
Proceeds raised from the evening will go towards Give Yoga.
Havan is a ceremony from the ancient Indian Vedic tradition. An essential part of havan is the chanting of mantras. Each month on a Saturday we chant 108 rounds of a healing mantra known as the maha-mrit-yun-jaya mantra. It is a universal mantra that is chanted for health, healing, transformation, energy, and support in the face of difficulties.
It is important to understand that this is a yoga practice which is not done for ones own entertainment, it is a practice dedicated to others. It is a way of giving to others which is beyond the material level.
Kirtan is a joyful uplifting mantra practice. Kirtan is a little different from chanting in that the mantras are sung with melody and rhythm. It is a practice renowned for its ability to channel the emotions, purify the mind and lighten the heart.
Best of all it's really easy to do and you don't even need a good singing voice.
