Immerse yourself in the sacred sounds of Sanskrit chanting. Join renowned musician Krishna Das in an experiential weekend filled with joyful kirtan (chanting of sacred sounds). Let your participation in chanting these holy mantras elevate your mind, relax your body and open your heart.
A master kirtanist, Krishna Das will guide you in these ancient chants, making the practice fun and easy. Through his personable manner, he will lift away any hesitation or fear beginners might feel and entice everyone to dive into lively responsive chanting. He will also take a little time to share insights he has gained on the spiritual path and tell stories of his own ashram experiences in India.
Make this Memorial Day Weekend one you will never forget!
 Krishna Das is a Western musician who has created a wave throughout the American Yoga scene with his rousing, soulful kirtans. He has led kirtan on a regular basis in Yoga centers all over the world, has taught with Ram Das and sung for many saints and yogis in the USA and India.
By simply chanting from the heart and making kirtan fun, Krishna Das has ignited a new enthusiasm for holding kirtan and chanting these ancient sacred mantras.
Over thirty years ago, he made his first trip to India and became a devotee of Neem Karoli Baba. Since then, Krishna Das has made numerous pilgrimages throughout India, meeting teachers and saints of many spiritual traditions on his quest to open and purify his heart. He has studied Buddhist meditation and has been initiated into Tibetan Buddhist practices by lamas from various lineages.
CDs by Krishna Das include:
 All One
Breath Of The Heart
Door Of Faith
Greatest Hits Of The Kali Yuga
Live ... On Earth
One Track Heart
Pilgrim Heart
