Kirtan Bournemouth began in late 2023, based on the teachings of Srila Prabhupada, as a space for mantra meditation and devotional chanting here on the south coast. We practice in the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition — call-and-response chanting of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra and other sacred mantras, accompanied by harmonium and percussion.

At our gatherings we chant, listen, and connect through the repetition of the Holy Name. We also run Bhakti Steps courses, linked with Soho Temple, for anyone wanting to go deeper into the philosophy.
