-Thanks.
Kirtan is sadhana, it is musical japa, and if it is done as a discipline, it can take you all the way. As Swami Sivananda says:
“Kirtan is singing of the Lord’s glories. The devotee is thrilled with divine emotion. He loses himself in the love of God. His hair stands on end due to extreme love for God. He weeps in the middle when thinking of the glory of God. His voice becomes choked, and he flies into a state of divine bhava. One can realize God through kirtan alone.“
