If you said "water water " would you taste water and would it quench your thirst? If you said "banana banana " would you taste banana?
No I don't think so. This is the difference between mundane material words and spiritual sound vibrations. Spiritual sound actually feeds the soul spiritual food and quenches our spiritual thirst.
Spiritual sounds are beautiful, heartfelt singing of sacred mantras or
many Names of the One Supreme Person God. Many times this devotional chanting will
be accompanied by musical instruments like harmonium, guitar and drums.
Kirtan is usually practiced as a call and response interactive
meditation with one person leading and then everyone responding as a group.
Participation in Kirtan focuses the mind very easily and naturally on
the beautiful spiritual sound vibrations, which have the effect
reawakening one’s spiritual consciousness and heart connection with the
Supreme and their individual truest nature. Kirtan lifts the spirit and
brings joy to the heart.
The great scholar and honored teacher of Bhakti yoga (loving devotion to God) Chaitanya Mahaprabhu appeared in India around 500 hundred years ago (1486–1534) and dedicated His life to teaching by example through continual chanting of the sacred sounds vibrations of The Holy Names of The Supreme Person. These mantra's or Names of God that are sung and chanted are spiritual sound vibrations and have the ability to bring about self realization or enlightenment. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu best describes this in His 8 famous verses known as Siksastakam a simple extraction from just one of these verses composed is as follows “The Holy Names of God are the prime benediction for humanity at large because it spreads the rays of the benediction moon, it increases the ocean of transcendental bliss and enables us to fully taste the nectar for which we are always anxious.”
