KIIRTAN
Kiirtan is music using the universal mantra Baba Nam Kevalam ("Infinite happiness is everywhere"). It calms and soothes the mind. You can sing it any time, but just before meditation is best.
 
Now, before you meditate, listen to the mantra being sung. This is called "kiirtan" in yoga. It gives a general feeling of happiness and lightness to the mind, and prepares you for meditation by helping you to relax and concentrate.
