Kirtan, bhajans and prayers sung by Our Divine Guardians: Srila B.R. Sridhar Maharaj, Srila Swami Maharaj Prabhupad and Srila B.S. Govinda Maharaj

‘Kirtan’ or ‘bhajan’?
In the 1995 Jagannath Rathayatra issue of the Sri Gaudiya Darshan magazine (page 20), Srila Govinda Maharaj explains that the term ‘kirtan’ refers to all congregational chanting, while ‘bhajan’ refers to one’s personal cultivation of Krishna Consciousness. Of course, by implication ‘kirtan’ is therefore also at the same time a kind of ‘bhajan’ for the Gaudiya Vaisnava devotees...
