Why do people clap during bhajan and kirtan?

At home, in the temple, in the temple or wherever there is bhajan-kirtan and aarti, everyone claps together. Most of us clap without knowing anything, because we have been seeing our ancestors doing so.

Do you know why applause is played while performing bhajan-kirtan and aarti?

We will tell you, both spiritually and scientifically, why people do this.

Clapping is the world’s best and simplest Sahaja Yoga and if clapped regularly every day, many types of health problems can be solved.
If you clap regularly for even 2 minutes every day, then there will be no need for any hathyoga or asanas.

According to spiritual belief?

Just as a person hides an object next to him and if he raises both his hands, that object will fall down. In the same way, when we raise both our hands and clap, the sins that we have accumulated over our lifetimes, which we have kept buried under us, fall down, that is, they are destroyed.

It is even said that when we do Sankirtan (raising hands and clapping during Kirtan) there is a lot of power. Even the lines on our hands change due to Sankirtan.

Goswami Tulsidas has also mentioned this in a very beautiful way in Ramcharit Manas, the sacred book of Hindus. He has written-

Make Ram Katha beautiful.
Doubtless flightless forest dweller.
