Prabhat Samgiita Classes
In each class instructor Kirit Dave conducts the study of one or more selected Prabhat Samgiita songs.
General contents of the classes:
- Kirit gives an introduction to the song.
- Pronunciation of each song is demonstrated and participants repeat collectively and individually, receiving feedbacks from the instructor.
- Kirit explores the meaning of the song starting with the meaning of each word in a sentence, and then progressively building up to the meaning of each line, paragraph, and finally the overall meaning of the song.
- When appropriate, connections with the spiritual philosophy and other themes around the song are established. Attendees may also share their individual perceptions and feelings related to the song.
- And when possible, Kirit gives a demonstration (musical rendering) of the song with voice and harmonium.
