Kirtan
Punnu’s musical style is a mix of East meets West – Indian Fusion. The concerts he leads often build from a slow, meditative tempo to a high paced catharsis. He has a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener and it is common for his audiences to clap their hands or stand up and dance during his concerts.
WHAT IS KIRTAN
Kirtan is a deeply spiritual and meditative practice rooted in India, characterized by the singing of devotional songs and mantras. Participants engage in call-and-response singing, with the leader chanting a mantra and the congregation echoing in response. Many of these mantras are sung in Sanskrit, an ancient and revered Indian language, creating a sacred and harmonious atmosphere that connects individuals with their inner selves and a sense of divine presence.
I have attended many Kirtans in Australia over the years and I have to say that I have never felt such authenticity of Kirtan of the Punnu Wasu band at The Yoga Barn. I thoroughly enjoy this Kirtan so much. Every time I come to Ubud, Punnu’s heartfelt energy is supreme and of divine nature. I have such deep heartfelt gratitude.
