Kirtan is a traditional Hindu way of worship that uses music and singing to show love and devotion to Lord Krishna. In Bangladesh, it is an essential and emotional practice. During Kirtan, people chant sacred songs together, accompanied by drums and cymbals, creating a powerful spiritual atmosphere.
As the music plays, a deep sense of connection and emotion fills the air. It’s common for people to feel overwhelmed with feelings of peace and release, and many are moved to tears—not from sadness but from the relief of letting go of their guilt and burdens. These tears are seen as purifying, bringing people closer to themselves, each other, and the divine.
In such a decisive moment, two brothers, near the end of their lives, might hug each other, cry, and ask for forgiveness for their mistakes. In the emotional atmosphere created by the Kirtan, such acts of love and reconciliation feel natural. The music makes everyone feel close to one another, creating a heavenly sense of togetherness where people find peace and healing through devotion.
