Radhanath Swami on Kirtan

During kirtan when people become really absorbed in singing the glories of God, all the barriers between them, created by the false ego, are removed. I have seen the worst enemies smiling at each other when put together in the middle of a kirtan. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even look at each other’s faces.

  2. This is a wonderful realization. I have myself also experienced this. Even though I might be inimical towards some person due to a difference in our opinions or any such cause, when we are together in a kirtan we tend to forget our differences. Kirtan is indeed a wonderful "equalizer" :)
    There is this amazing video of a kirtan that Radhanath Swami led in New Vrindavan, where this realization of his can be practically seen:

  6. I also same experience. During kirtan, we forget the dispute and really blissfully dances in the kirtan. It is mentioned in Caitanya Caritamrta 500 years agon when caitanya mahaprabhu was passing through Jarikhanda forest doing hariman sankirtan, tiger and lion came together and danced in harinam sankirtan. The Harinam Sankirtan is powerful to restablish our lost conciousness with God, especially in this age of Kaliyuga.
