Kirtan Rabbi: Hebrew Mystical Chant (Rabbi Andrew Hahn, Ph.D.)

Prabhupada, September 21, 1973, Bombay: “There is no hard and fast rule, that “You have to do like that, do like that.” Simply you have to chant, anywhere possible.” Full conversation

namnam akari bahudha nija-sarva-shaktis
tatrarpita niyamitah smarane na kalah
etadrishi tava kripa bhagavan mamapi
durdaivam idrisham ihajani nanuragaha

Sri Siksastakam, Verse 2: “O my Lord, Your holy name alone can render all benediction to living beings, and thus You have hundreds and millions of names, like Krishna and Govinda. In these transcendental names You have invested all Your transcendental energies. There are not even hard and fast rules for chanting these names. O my Lord, out of kindness You enable us to easily approach You by Your holy names, but I am so unfortunate that I have no attraction for them.”

“Kirtan is fully participatory, call-and-response devotional chant. A live kirtan is at once ecstatic, contemplative and — most of all — playfully improvised. Enjoy singing along
with this music!

Kirtan Rabbi: Live! was recorded after sundown on June 14, 2008 at Congregation Bnai Jeshurun in New York City. Unless otherwise noted, all melodies are by Rabbi Andrew Hahn. The words are drawn from the Hebrew Bible and the siddur (the traditional Jewish prayerbook), as well as from the language of kabbalah (Jewish mysticism).”
