Easter Chant 2023
-
Two Feet
We invite you to alternate dedicating your chant to another, with dedicating your chant to yourself. Like two feet, we need to balance serving others with replenishing ourselves.
Chanting with intention can have miraculous effects.
Allow yourself to be immersed in the unconditional love and peace of your Soul's and the Divine's essence… be bathed in love's frequency.

Easter Kirtan at Hanumanji's
Come enjoy some kirtan and chai and maybe a snack at Devatma's Place.

No exchange other than your presence is required.
If you want to show your appreciation through a small donation for Devatma's expenses. Or if you would rather bring a plate of food to share. That's all good but totally unnecessary.
All welcome.
New Folks, Old Folks.
Regulars and Irregulars..
Absolute Beginners and the Accomplished.
Vaxed & Unvaxed.
Folks with instruments to play and Folks who just want to listen &/or sing.
Children and doggies tagging along all good too.
Provided of course the latter take a liking to the kirtan scene and are well-behaved.
We aim for a happy crowd. The more diverse the more divine. So if that's you. Look forward to seeing you.
Certainly we don't take it too seriously. All we ask is that everyone is friendly, respectful and supportive of each other and the practice.

Wendy Van Dort: Maha Mantra
Join Wendy for a releasing ritual in which we repeat a mantra around a candle 108 times.
This particular mantra, the Maha Mantra, is from the Satyananda tradition. It is the Maha mantra or "great mantra" because it helps overcome fears... in particular the fear of death. We are repeating this mantra 108 times or one round of beads on the mala. As Easter traditionally represents birth/ rebirth and the cycle of life, this mantra aligns with this theme.
This session is also running in the early afternoon, so that we have one for each “foot” as per the them of the event.
Wendy is an intuitive bodyworker and runs a well-being clinic in Frankston. She is also an experienced yoga teacher specialising in restorative yoga and somatic movement and trained in the Krishnamacharya hatha tradition. For the last decade, Wendy has been offering yoga classes and events to the wider community and retreats throughout Melbourne.

Trish is a sound healer. This is her message: We all have our own unique note and song. Together we are a universal orchestra of keys, melodies,harmonies and rhythms. Sound in all forms brings us together. Through sound my intention is for each soul to connect to the own inner knowing, beauty and innate self/ intelligence.
Fiona brings her background in the Tao calligraphy transformative healing arts, as taught by Dr and Master Sha. Fiona has multiple levels of Tao Hands and is currently studying to become a Certified Tao Soul Communicator. Fiona also brings her experience working as a Transpersonal Arts Therapist and Dance therapist to her sessions.
In this session you will experience:
- In the first hour, you will be guided by Fiona in applying the Divine Soul Song of Yin Yang to heal and transform you, humanity, mother earth and all universes.... with Trish's percussive accompaniment. And also other simple chants you can easily follow along with.
- In the second hour, be nourished with a Tao Hands blessing from myself, whilst you are immersed in received my Soul Song as well as Trish's sound healing.

Easter Chant 2023
We invite you, dear Souls of Mother Earth, to join together this Easter, through chant.
Allow yourself to be immersed in the unconditional love and peace of your Soul's essence, of the Divine's essence and be bathed in love's vibration.
Intentional chanting:
Research points strongly towards the power of intention, especially in groups of 8 or more, to create miracles.
We wish to inspire you to chant for loved ones, or those requiring some help or healing, or more broadly for peace for humanity, for example.
Two feet:
Just as we walk with two feet, placing one in front of the other, alternating as we move forward, we invite you to alternate your chants, offering one to another soul, and the next, to yourself. We need to balance replenishing oneself longside serving others. Note: you might experience more tangible results if you choose a very specific area to focus on.
How to participate:
If you are a provider of kirtan/chanting/singing:
Please schedule your desired time, location, duration and notify your community, loved ones and friends, inviting them along.
Please click here to register your event, so others may join. Where possible it would be most advantageous if you were able to provide an 'in situ' experience at a venue OR if you wish to, you can stream your event as an online experience.
If you wish to attend an organised chant/kirtan:
Please see below to find registered events, to find a chanting session near you, or an online event that suits your schedule.
When:
We envisage Easter Chant 2023 to begin at 00:00 Easter Friday and conclude at 24:00 Easter Monday, 2023.
Your event may start and end at any time within these 4 days.
You may choose to offer an event which is 'durational' in nature - i.e. extending longer than normal - in which you may schedule an event in which you take "shifts" with others, somewhat like a relay, in the space you have available.... this could potentially span the entire four days.
Or you may simply offer a once-off event of 3 hours or so. The choice is yours.
Where/Who:
This is a non-religious event, but it does not preclude religious groups from participating.
We especially welcome regular kirtan groups to participate as facilitators and also invite newbies, who wish to offer their voice, should they feel inspired.
You do not have to be a kirtan provider. You could have a collection of other sacred songs you wish to share and invite others to join you in singing.
This is originating in Frankston, Melbourne (via Lionsa) but can extend worldwide if we spread this invitation and it inspires others soon enough to organise themselves.
The larger the numbers who participate, the greater the rise in vibration, humanity will experience.
Documentation:
We would love to hear your stories, see your photos and experience your videos of your experiences during the chants and also afterwards.
What, if any, effects occurred from the chanting, for those you chanted for, and yourself.

FAQs
-
You can offer other types of devotional singing… in essence, any kind of singing which celebrates the Divine, in whatever form that you love to offer.
-
You can offer whatever you feel inspired to offer, regardless of how many times you’ve done it before. If the inspiration comes your way, and you either have the capacity to send a zoom link to attendees or provide a space for them to gather and sing with you, then go for it!
-
You can be a completely newby or expert or anywhere in between. You are all welcome.
-
Of course! Any language is welcome. We ask that you provide a words sheet for attendees, so they can read phonetically in English, if you can. If it’s very simple and easily picked up, this may not be necessary.
-
Yes, we would love that. If you opened your space and various people attended and left when they needed to, or stayed for the duration, that would be fabulous.

It is completely up to each presenter to decide whether or not to charge. Some may and some may not. Details will be provided under each event listed.
-
Please feel free to do either. It would be great if you do offer an event at a venue that you perhaps also offer attendees the option to join it online also, but this is just a suggestion and not expected.
-
The idea originated in Australia but we are hoping that people join in from all over the world. See the Line up page for more information about what is scheduled in your area.
