Krishna Das Ithaca - Sunday, 10-14-2012

Hanuman Chalisa Chant and Chat

Krishna Das has been called the "Chant Master of American Yoga" and leads these retreats to dive deep into the practice of chanting and talk about life and the spiritual path and how they are one path. To learn more about Krishna Das and kirtan go to the Krishna Das  website. 

Nina Rao is Krishna Das's assistant who tours with him and accompanies him on cymbals and vocals. She has a track 'Nina Chalisa' on Krishna Das' Flow of Grace - Chanting the Hanuman Chalisa. She leads kirtan in Brooklyn and beyond.

Tulku Sherdor is the translator and editor of "A Book of Common Tibetan Buddhist Prayers" and a founder, along with Lama Surya Das, of the Rimay Monlam, a prayer gathering for peace and harmony now held annually.  He is an avid exponent of the power of chanting practice within the Tibetan tradition.

Krishna Das on:
Repetition of the Name...

"This practice is not a religious practice the way I do it. He (Maharaji) never made us Hindus, he didn't initiate us into any particular religion...He just shined on everything like the sun."

...and: 

What it means to be Human...
