Kirtan, Mantra & the Transformative Power of Music with Jordan Loder

In this episode, musician, kirtan leader, and bhakti artist Jordan Loder shares his journey through music and his exploration of sound as a pathway to connection, devotion, and spiritual practice. Jordan has an extensive musical background and spent years touring in supportive roles with artists including Deva Premal & Miten, Snatam Kaur, Ajeet, Simrit, and Adam Bauer, and performing alongside many others in the devotional music community. His experiences have shaped his understanding of music not simply as something to perform or listen to, but as a way of creating connection and shared experience. The conversation explores Jordan’s musical journey and the experiences that transformed his relationship with sound, music, and spirit, as well as the traditions of bhakti and kirtan. Topics include the transformative power of singing together, the role of mantra and repetition, and what happens when we move from listening to music to actively creating sound with our own voices. Jordan also discusses making devotional music accessible to people from all backgrounds, lessons learned through years of traveling and leading sacred music experiences, his own spiritual practice, and the place of devotional music within the growing interest in sound, mindfulness, and healing. https://www.jordanloder.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@jordanloder https://www.instagram.com/jordanlodermusic/ https://www.facebook.com/jordanlodermusic Natalie Brown, host of Sounds Heal Podcast, founder of Sounds Heal Studio, Sound Healing Academy Lead Teacher for North America: http://www.soundshealstudio.com http://www.facebook.com/soundshealstudio http://www.instagram.com/nataliebrownsoundsheal http://www.youtube.com/soundshealstudio Email: soundshealstudio@gmail.com Music by Natalie Brown, Hope & Heart http://www.youtu.be/hZPx6zJX6yA
