Kirtan is an ancient practice of call-and-response singing that creates spiritual connection and compassionate community. And to top it all off, it’s fun! ” WHY KIDS’ KIRTAN? As a father, I’m always asking myself “what is my job in relationship to my child. Exactly what is it am I supposed to do?” When my boy was born, all the light and wisdom that I’d been searching and longing for all my years in this Earth shone brightly out of his tiny little eyes. Who was he? Who IS he? At first I really only had to take care of my beloved Nubia as she nursed him, and then gradually the nurturing was spread more evenly between us. But he already knew everything! Well, his limbs weren’t working that well. Or his words. But the knowledge was there. I could just see it in his glowing face and loving gestures. So I simply worshipped him as Divine, as my own personal manifestation of baby Krishna Gopala. I sang to him, bowed to him, played with him. People said “Oh, how beautiful. You’re giving such a spiritual background to him at such an early age.” But I knew that I was the one getting the blessings, the healings, the spiritual uplifting….. -Jai Uttal
