Krishna Das creates music of pure beauty, forging deep, soulful connections. After years of devotional study and service in India, he returned to the U.S. and began singing to continue on his path. He combines traditional chants with a chorus and rhythmic, rich melodies of myriad instruments including violin, guitar, bamboo flute, and percussion. His music is inspirational and deeply touching, resonating with truth, emotion, and energy.
In Krishna Das' own words from the liner notes, "Chanting helps us dive into a deeper place in our hearts. Peace of heart comes as the process of coming closer to our Self continues to burn our shortcomings in the fire of the deepest Love. Tewari once said to me, 'Love is what lasts the 24 hours.' Chanting helps remind us and strengthens our ability to remember that deeper Reality. We get a chance to immerse ourselves in the stream of devotion. For an hour or two, nothing else is required. We have nothing else to do. We can gather ourselves and jump into that river…rushing to the Ocean of Love. Sometimes I say to a group, 'I guarantee you one thing tonight: No one’s problems will be solved. So just forget about everything and sing. There is no reason to hold onto anything. Let go and give yourself wholeheartedly to what we’re doing for this short period of time. Sing your heart out and we’ll see what’s left to worry about anything when it’s over.'"
