Meditation is the process of centring yourself on your inner self; connecting to your true self. It is not the imposition of any belief from outside yourself. It's about you. It's about finding the essence of yourself within yourself and realising that essence as the inner self of all beings and the entire universe.

Music: Celestial Realm

Meditation is the effort to realise the essence of our existence; the core of our being. It is a journey of self-discovery which takes us far beyond our everyday awareness… into the realm of the mystical.
Meditation means to look inside yourself for the infinite source of peace and happiness which lies within; to feel the bliss which is the essence of your existence. That bliss is within you, just as it is within everybody and everything.

Kiirtan is singing the mantra Bábá Nám Kevalam aloud, accompanied by a simple rhythmic dance, while ideating on Cosmic Consciousness. It inculcates the feeling of bliss and prepares the mind for meditation, because in performing it all the motor and sensory organs are engaged and directed towards the Supreme. It can be performed anywhere, any time, but the best time is just before meditation.

Music from the album Saungiitainjali

On 8 October 1970, Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti introduced the Bábá Nám Kevalam kiirtan mantra. This video is a tribute to that momentous occasion in human history.

Kiirtan is singing the mantra Bábá Nám Kevalam aloud, accompanied by a simple rhythmic dance, while ideating on Cosmic Consciousness. It inculcates the feeling of bliss and prepares the mind for meditation, because in performing it all the motor and sensory organs are engaged and directed towards the Supreme. It can be performed anywhere, any time, but the best time is just before meditation.

Bábá means “my most beloved One”, Nám means “name of” or “to identify with”, and Kevalam means “only”. So the meaning of the mantra is “My most Beloved is the only One.” The ideation is: “Everywhere I look, in everything I hear, feel, see, taste and smell, I perceive that one Supreme Consciousness which pervades all things.”

Kiirtan has many benefits. It purifies the mind and prepares it for meditation, accelerating the speed of movement toward the Supreme. Because of the mental clarity achieved, one easily finds solutions to problems while performing it, as well as relief from physical and psychic ailments.
