Kirtana has always played a major role within Bhakti Yoga- the Yogic path of Praise and Devotion. 

​Bhakti Yoga allows anyone and everyone to pray with love and faith. It is a community-singing experience that utilizes songs and music to feel close to the Divine! It does not require strict and often restricting principles and methods of the other two paths of Yoga- Jnana Yoga (Yogic path of Knowledge) or Karma Yoga (Yogic Path of Action).

Kreem is the bija (seed) mantra for Kali. It is also sometimes written as Krim, though it needs to be noted that the "i/e" sound has a longer stretched pronunciation.

​Being a very primordial, potent and foundational energy, Kali is also considered as the ruling energy and presiding deity in all Tantric and Mantric studies, i.e. studies of the Universal Energy of Tantra (Tools of Cosmic Creation & Existence) and Mantra (Power of Sound, Speech & the Spoken Word). 

Since Kali is the basis of ‘manifestation’ of this created world from Pure Potentiality of Consciousness (Shiva), she represents the kinetic energy, governs actions and represents the very existentiality of a manifested (i.e. created) form.

Her energy is extremely potent and electrical in nature. Lightening energy is one of her expression and invoking her without proper understanding or guidance can be extremely dangerous which can sometimes lead to a "shocking" experience! 

She is also the adi-shakti (first primordial energy), first of the ten dasha-maha vidyas (ten wisdom Goddesses) and represents time. She is the time-axis of the space-time continuum of this existential world. 

Kali is part of the important tri-goddess energy form of Mahalaxmi.

Aim is the bija (seed) mantra for Saraswati. She governs the energy of Creativity & Intelligence. Ai (ऐ)stands for Saraswati and bindu (dot) indicates dispelling of sorrow. 
​
It indicates creation and creativity in all forms. It is the seed sound for success in spiritual, educational, and scientific endeavors. It is also the seed sound for all kinds of artistic and creative actions such as writing, visual arts, singing, dance and music. 

Before proceeding with any kind of creative venture, Saraswati's grace is invoked for smooth flow of ideas (which are then transformed into creative forms).

Since all of life is a form of "creation", it is essential to obtain Saraswati's grace, so our actions are wise and timed appropriately. Because of this key attribute, she is one of the energy forms invoked at the onset of any venture (after Ganesh) and is part of the important tri-Goddess energy form of Mahalaxmi.

Lord Ganesh has two bija mantras- Gam and Glaum. Bija mantras are the seed sounds of the deity and similar to any seed- it contains the potential existence of that deity within it.
​
Gam is the most important bija mantra and is part of the important Lord Ganesh mantra, Om Gam Ganapatey Namah.

Glaum on the other hand is more of a tantric bija mantra and is used in special instances which helps to remove major obstacles so that we can proceed with our usual Ganesh sadhana (prayers) using the Gam mantra.

The energy of Ganesh is the governing energy behind intelligence, abundance, affluence, and accomplishment. In a way Ganesh signifies time (Kali truly represents time) since he gives out the fruits of karma. In addition, Ganesh energy also rules the Vedic sciences, particularly Vedic Astrology (Jyotish).
 
Lord Ganesh energy is associated with the root chakra and is important in invoking the Shakti energy and hence represents the door/ initiation energy for rising the Kundalini.
 
Because Lord Ganesh is also the key energy of this earth-plane and the ruler of the masses (Ganpati) along with "remover of obstacles" (Vignaharta), his energy is invoked before initiating any new task or journey for its smooth and successful completion
