Kirt is a noun that typically refers to a traditional devotional practice in Sikhism, a monotheistic religion founded in the 15th century in the Punjab region of South Asia. It is a term derived from the Punjabi language, where it originally means "to praise" or "to sing praises." In Sikhism, kirt is an integral component of religious congregations or gatherings at gurdwaras (Sikh temples).
Kirt involves the recitation, singing, or chanting of hymns and verses from the Guru Granth Sahib, the central religious scripture of Sikhism. It serves as a form of spiritual communication with the divine and is viewed as a means to connect with and praise the Supreme Reality, also known as God or Waheguru, as per Sikh teachings.
Kirt can be performed individually or as a group activity, accompanied by music played on instruments such as harmonium, tabla, and string instruments like dilruba or rabab. It often involves rhythmic singing or chanting of hymns called shabad, which are composed by the Sikh Gurus and other revered Sikh figures. Kirt aims to instill devotion, humility, and a sense of divine presence among the participants, promoting a collective spiritual experience.
Aside from religious gatherings, kirt is also practiced during special occasions, celebrations, and religious festivals in the Sikh community. It is regarded as a means to express love, devotion, and gratitude towards the divine, emphasizing the central values of Sikh spirituality such as humility, equality, and service to humanity.
