Kirtan: [ Ссылка ]
Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya
Om Namo Narayanaya, Om Nama Shivayah
The meaning of Bhagavate is given in part 2 of this series ([ Ссылка ])
Vasudeva is name for Krishna. Calling on Vasudeva, we should remember the whole personalities of Krishna. He is joyful, singing, dancing and playing flute but at the same time upholding dharma.
Even if upholding dharma means going to the battlefield and fighting enemies.
Calling on Vasudeva also means that we act as Vasudeva, as the Caretaker. We practice meditation by taking care and serving society. It could be visiting old-people homes, schools, and hospitals and so on. As guidance, we should serve society for at least 4-hours in a week. Remember this “The hands that help are better than the lips that pray”.
Narayana is one name of God. It means the one within all living beings.
Shiva is also name of God. It represents auspiciousness.
By serving society, we are serving Narayana, the one within all living beings, and at the same time making our life auspicious (Shiva).
Understanding the inner meaning of the song creates bhava (innermost feeling, the devotion).
Kirtan should be performed in such a way that bhava, rhythm (Tala), melody (Raga), the instruments, and the singers are in unison. This kind of Kirtan will affect our life. People who practice Kirtan this way proven to be very good in teamwork.
At the end, Kirtan should spiritualize our whole life.

To Know Anand Krishna, the Speaker:
Proud of his Sindhi-Indian ancestry rooted in the Glorious Sindhu Civilization and Culture, also referred to as Shintu, Hindu, Indus, and Hindia - of which Nusantara or the Indonesian Archipelago has been a part since ancient times - Anand Krishna was born in Solo (Central Java), which, as predicted by the Śukā Nādi (thousands of years old oracle), is his Karma Bhumi, his workfield.
Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of India remarked upon seeing the child Krishna, "This is not ordinary boy”.
The prediction has come true. Standing high as the legendary Mount Meru, Anand Krishna wavers not an inch from his course of action, inspite of all kinds of trials and turbulences.
Beside the mother Organization, Anand Ashram Foundation (affiliated with UN), Anand Krishna has inspired several other social and educational institutions.
The 4th President of Indonesia, KH Abdurrahman Wahid recognized his contributions and said, “If we want to have peace, then we must hear what Anand Krishna is saying”.
He has a legacy of 170+ books to date with more than 1.5 million copies sold in the past 20 years.
People of all faiths attending his talks is a running commentary to his vision “One Earth, One Sky, One Humankind” - his interpretation of an age old Sanskrit Maxim, “Vasudaiva Kutumbakam”, this entire world is but one big family.
