Kirtan Bournemouth was established in late 2023 to provide a consistent weekly space for mantra meditation and devotional chanting in the local area. We practice kirtan in the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition—call-and-response chanting of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra and other sacred mantras, accompanied by harmonium and percussion.

Our approach is rooted in traditional practice while remaining open and accessible to anyone. Whether you’ve been chanting for years or have never heard of kirtan before, you’re welcome. We meet every week to sit together, chant, listen, and connect through the repetition of the Holy Name.

Each gathering concludes with prasadam, a shared vegan meal.
