Yogananda's Cosmic Chants: Kirtan
February 23, 2023
Paramhansa Yogananda said:
"Each of these chants should be sung not once but many times, utilizing the cumulative power of repetition, until the singer feels a great joy break through the radio of his heart. When this joy is felt it is proof that God has answered the devotee, and that his devotion has been properly tuned and the broadcasting of his ardor in chants has been true and deep.
When these chants are repeated in solitude or in congregational singing, with great devotion, it will be found that the songs subconsciously repeat themselves in the background of the mind bringing great joy even when one is in the thick of the battle of activity.
I have used these chants thousands of times with large American audiences and have seen infinite divine benefits showered on the sincere devotees who chant the Lord’s name with love."
Chants:
- Who Is in My Temple?
- Thousands of Suns
- What Lightning Flash
- Light the Lamp of Thy Love
- Polestar of My Life
- I Will Drink Thy Name
- Where Is There Love?
- Wink Has Not Touched My Eyes
- Thou Art My Life
- Door of My Heart
(Cosmic Chants, 1938 Edition)
Recorded in the Temple of Light at Ananda Village during the kirtans of Inner Renewal Week 2022 & 2023.
