The first Kirtana Mela will be attended by many senior devotees and kirtaniyas – all known for their unique singing style. Every day they will lead several sets of kirtan.

5000 years ago the saints of Naimisaranya came together to perform a thousand-year yajna for the upliftment of the earth and to counteract the effects of Kali-yuga.

Only 500 years ago Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared to spread congregational chanting of the Lord’s holy names. He predicted that the time would come when the holy names would be sung in every town and village.

In the late ’60s His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada arrived in the West to fulfill this desire in grand style. Thus the kirtan movement was born and the divine vibrations of the holy names now resound arround the world.
