Self-Realization Fellowship presents an event exploring the practice of chanting as a means of focusing the heart, quieting the mind, and uplifting the consciousness. The evening marks the centennial of Paramahansa Yogananda’s 1926 appearance at Carnegie Hall, where he introduced Indian devotional chanting, known as kirtan, to thousands of Westerners in New York. To celebrate this musical milestone, the Self-Realization Fellowship Monks Kirtan Group leads an evening of chanting with brief periods of meditation.
