    Well, I have to admit that I am pretty shy when singing in group; that’s why I feel a little bit nervous during kirtan. But for instance, last time I went to the temple in Orlando, USA, where I live, I could finally dance and feel some joy while chanting with the devotees.

      I’m pretty shy too and usually sing under my breath. But it’s hard to not come out of my shell when everyone is so happy and chanting together.

    I like to put myself in these intense situation where I’m uncomfortable like chanting in public on the street. And in my experience, these moments have given me the most ecstasy and profound spiritual experience
    but I understand its not everyone’s flavor of ice cream.

    Mind you the yuga dharma is chanting congregationally Hari-nam and it is the most powerful way to attract grace. On our own, what can we do? We are like a twig that can easily be snapped. But together we become strong.
