Publisher's summary

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-with-audio download 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' years in India and also from his life as a kirtan leader - and the audio 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.

This audio product contains a PDF with supporting material, and the PDF is available to download.

Beautiful. Read it. Or listen.

Truly beautiful on so many levels. It set me straight and answered questions that I’ve had about chanting; all the while entertaining me with a great adventure.

Inspiring, hypnotic and uplifting. I will be listening to this audio over and over again. And what a beautiful start to the day to chant to the kirtan collection. Looking forward to seeing Krishna Das in Los Angeles this spring!

Wonderfully told story

Krishna Das did a wonderful job sharing his life story and explaining his spiritual path and life in India. He has a wonderful speaking voice that was filled with warmth and made it pleasant to listen to. No criticism of any aspect of the book.

Resonance

What a beautiful voice and story! After decades of relishing Krishna Das’ resonant voice and heartfelt kirtan music, i knew very little about his life. it is wonderful to gain some understanding of his spiritual practice, how it unfolded, and a taste of what it means to him. The love and vulnerability he shares in his journeys in India, with Ram Das and Neem Karoli Baba have enriched my path and opened my heart. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has an interest in Eastern ways of life. Thank you, KD, for bringing so much light to this world!

So good

This book is amazing! KD is down to earth and really relatable. He has great stories and even better advice on how to deal with your own shit! He wouldn’t consider himself a great spiritual teacher but he is!

So inspiring!!! Just finished my second listen!

I love listening to Krishna Das’s telling of his spiritual journey. It contains such deep emotion, sweetness, heart, and inspirational stories of Neem Karoli Baba and the devotees who love(d) him. These stories bring to light the reflections and lessons learned along the way. Deeply grateful for this narrative of a fellow wave finding its identity as the ocean. 🙏

An epic, heart opening journey

Krishna Das’ journey in this epic story had me laughing and crying. His time spent with his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, and the pain he faced after his guru left the body, opened my heart in ways beyond words. I deeply respect Krishna Das’ vulnerability and his ability to tell the many stories of his guru and the many old disciples who helped him become the man he is today.
