Abstract: This study explores the psychological and emotional functions of bhajans and kirtans—two prominent forms of Indian devotional music—in facilitating emotional catharsis and promoting inner peace among devotees. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, incorporating quantitative measures of affect, mindfulness, and stress alongside qualitative interviews and participant observation. The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), Tiwari Stress Assessment Questionnaire (TSAQ), and Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) were used to measure emotional and cognitive variables. Findings are expected to reveal that regular participation in bhajans and kirtans reduces stress levels, enhances mindfulness, and promotes a profound sense of inner tranquillity. These results highlight the therapeutic and psychosocial value of devotional singing as a culturally grounded mechanism for emotional release, social harmony, and spiritual wellbeing.
