Nata Sankirtana is inseparable part of Manipuri society. It performs in every sphere of life from Shasti puja (Birth rituals) to death ceremonies. It is still remaining a sole property of Vaishnavite Manipuris. But, it is fact that only after the flourished of Vaishnavism in Manipur, Manipuri Nata Sankirtana began to generalise and more impact on society. It is a kind of great sacrifice (Mahajanya in Hinduism) and way to achieved total devotion. The main principle of Bhakti movement of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was Kirtana. Kirtana is one of way to connect with eternal Lord i.e. Krishna. Manipuri Nata Sankirtana is one of its kinds. Manipuri who follows the Hinduism (Goudiya Vaishnavism) performs Sankirtana in every ritual except some traditional ceremonies. Recognising the importance of Manipuri Nata Sankirtana, UNESCO of one of the prime bodies of UNO announced on 4th Dec. 2013 listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Representative list.
