⁴ Rūpa Gosvāmin defines Kirtana in his *Bhakti-rasāmṛta* as: *nāma-līlā-guṇādīnām* (distinguishing three kinds) *uccair bhāṣā tu kīrtanam*. This mode has proved so effective for popular appeal that it has since been accepted more or less by other sects. In modern times the Nava Vidhān Brāhma Samāj revived it, and the salvation Army in Bengal has adopted it for their missionary purpose.
