 Breath
of the Heart Krishna Das Perhaps not as pretty as previous
studio releases, Krishna Das's Breath of the Heart
nevertheless captures the ecstasy, devotion, and
life-affirming qualities of chant. Ably abetted by rap and
rock producer Rick Rubin, Krishna Das joins with a choir dubbed the
Kosmic Kirtan Posse, featuring the East and West Coast Posses,
a group of some 50 members including Mike D of the Beastie
Boys, while instruments as diverse as harmonium, Hammond B3
organ, violin, guitar, cymbals, and drums play backdrop.

 Pilgrim
Heart Krishna Das A lush musical journey into Hindu spiritualism,
Pilgrim Heart encompasses Shiva chants, Hare Krishna mantras, and chants
given a modern twist. Krishna Das and his myriad guest musicians
(including a female chorus dubbed the Kirtan Posse) incorporate Indian
instruments, African percussion, electronics, even bass and guitar, into
serene, richly layered songs that provide good background music for
meditation or relaxation. Unlike some of Krishna Das's other recorded
music, this album is even-keeled, although the repeated use of Hare
Krishna chants wears thin at times...

 Door
of Faith Krishna Das This is the first Krishna Das for me.
His voice is so stunning and vibrant ~ good lord! Can you
stand it? It reverberates with emotion. I cannot have a
conversation when this is on. It takes one into the Sun
immediately. It causes inner explosions. It is almost too much
to drink, so filled it is, with sukra-sweet feeling. Sri
Hanuman Chaleesa is my excruciating favorite, with Shiva Stuti
following close behind. Krishna Das says Shiva's name like
they are intimate lovers. Omygod!! |
 Live
on Earth Krishna Das Like his jazz counterpart Jai Uttal, Krishna Das is a
U.S. native whose life was changed forever by the discovery of the Hindu
religion. Yet unlike Uttal, who has explored the realms of world and jazz music
and collaboration, Das has focused his energies toward the art of Indian
classical chant exclusively. The result is a long career of spreading the love
and spirituality of the Hindustani tradition while gleaning a large following
that's included the likes of Sting and Madonna. But this isn't the reason to
respect Krishna Das, rather his investment in using chant to heal, find the grace of
God, and purify the soul.

 One
Track Heart Krishna Das On top of the spiritual vocal
presence of Krishna Das, One Track Heart features the
producing and musical talents of Jai Uttal (vocals, dotar,
keyboards, percussion) and Tulku's Jim Wilson (programming).
This pleasurable album effortlessly blends prayers and chants
from the ancient tradition of Bhakti Yoga, with Indian
percussion, strings, dumbek, and keyboards. |
 One
Track Heart Krishna Das This cd is superb. Krishna das'
great love and great heart for devotional Hindi songs comes
through with interest. He has a beautiful voice and it is one
saturated with devotion. The lyrics to the music are also on
the cd insert, which is fantastic as one can learn the lines
of the Bhajans etc and sing along in worship with him, guided
by his voice and music.
One
Track Heart Krishna Das This CD is very inspiring and
very devotional.

 Live
on Earth...For a Limited Time Only [LIVE] Krishna Das When I first came
across Krishna Das, I did not know what to expect. He was an intriguing enough
subject. Here was a western Hindu convert, who had undertaken as his life
mission the popularization of Bhakti Yoga - the path to eternal salvation
through steadfast devotion, often expressed by the chanting of sacred hymns.
