Kirtan is a shared time of devotional chanting, with short periods of meditation. Chanting is a spiritual practice that opens the heart and allows for an experience of deep inner stillness and connection with the divine presence within.
We will chant together in our beautiful temple sanctuary during this holy season with a focus on Jesus, the Christ and the Universal Christ Consciousness.
Who Was Jesus and Who Was The Christ?
by Paramhansa Yogananda
“Christ consciousness is the intelligence governing all finite Creation. Christ intelligence resides secretly in all the atoms of Creation and directs them to form into nebulae, island universes, and solar systems, and binds them with cords of thermal, electro-magnetic, gravitational rays, and keeps them swimming and soaring in the endless void of Eternity.
Jesus, the man, through step-by-step methods of Self-Realization, freed His consciousness and Life Force from all body objects of material attachment, such as muscles, heart, spinal plexuses, brain, and medulla, and let them expand into the Cosmic energy and Christ intelligence pervading all finite vibratory matter.
Jesus and The Christ
Jesus, the man, could feel His consciousness and Life Force pulsating in the space cells of His Cosmic material body as well as in the little body named Jesus. This expanded state of consciousness is called Christ Consciousness.”
