Friday Night Kirtan: Soulful Musical Meditation

Join us every Friday at ISKCON Dublin for an evening that’s more than just a concert—it’s a sanctuary. Located right in the heart of the city, at the top of the stairs on Abbey Street, our Friday Kirtan is a space for everyone to unplug, find inner peace, and experience ancient wisdom through sound.

Kirtan is a traditional form of "call-and-response" musical meditation. One person sings a simple, ancient Sanskrit mantra, and the group sings it back. It’s effortless, deeply relaxing, and you don’t need to be a "singer" to participate. The music builds from a gentle, meditative whisper to a joyful, rhythmic celebration that naturally clears the mind.

• De-stress: Let the vibrations of the harmonium and drums wash away the week's tension.
• Community: Meet like-minded people in a warm, non-judgmental environment.
• The Sanctuary: Discover a quiet, hidden space in the city centre dedicated to peace and self-discovery.

• 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM: Open Bhagavad Gita Wisdom Circle (Optional - feel free to join early!)
• 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM: The Main Kirtan Experience
• 8:30 PM onwards: Evening concludes/Community connection time.
