Nama Kripa by Kali Mandir Kirtan Mandali
Chanting gives expression to the soul’s innate yearning for the Divine. Since ancient times, kirtan (call & response singing of God’s names) has been the cornerstone of the devotional schools of Indian religion, combining the artistry and disciplines of traditional music with the transcendent power of mantra meditation. Kirtan focuses the mind and purifies the heart.
Kali Mandir Kirtan Mandali’s sound is unique, infusing these time-honored sacred mantras, melodies and rhythms with contemporary nuances.
The energized atmosphere of Kali Mandir’s 2002 annual Kali Puja festival provides the backdrop for this ecstatic live recording. Experience the mercy of the Holy Name.
“Drunk with the joy of singing I forget myself and call Thee friend who art my Lord.” - Rabindranath Tagore
