Chants of a Lifetime: Searching for a Heart of Gold

Description

Chants of a Lifetime offers an intimate collection of stories, teachings, and
insights from Krishna Das, who has been called “the chant master of American
yoga” by the New York Times. Since 1994, the sound of his voice singing
traditional Indian chants with a Western flavor has brought the spiritual
experience of chanting to audiences all over the world. He has previously
shared some of his spiritual journey through talks and workshops, but now he
offers a unique book-and-CD combination that explores his fascinating path and
creates an opportunity for just about anyone to experience chanting in a
unique and special way.Chants of a Lifetime includes photos from Krishna Das’s
years in India and also from his life as a kirtan leader—and the CD that is
offered exclusively in the book consists of a number of “private” chanting
sessions with the author. Instead of just being performances of chants for
listening, the recordings make it seem as if Krishna Das himself is present
for a one-on-one chanting session. The idea is for the listener to explore his
or her own practice of chanting and develop a deepening connection with the
entire chanting experience. Read more
