Synopsis

Amazon.com

The belief that chanting the name of God dissolves the boundaries between the mundane and the transcendental is universal. In India, singing mantras is an art, and each devotee is encouraged to bring their own musical knowledge to this practice. Krishna Das, a masterful singer and keyboard player, has produced several ethno-techno trance recordings, and has created mellow musical settings for some of the oldest poems known to (wo)man by combining ragas and western scales, sitars, and folky acoustic guitar. The tracks combine traditional Indian and Tibetan melodies with more Western rhythm tracks--"Devi 'Rave'" has a rollicking Afro-Arabic rhythm, while "Hara Hara Mahadev" bubbles along on an R&B backbeat, and is melodically similar to the children's song "If You're Happy and You Know It." --j. poet

CD Reviews

Great intro album

Kirsten M. Houseknecht | philadelphia, pa USA | 11/08/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is not consistant. If you want a whole CD of one style, this is NOT it. if you are planning to use this for yoga or anything, stop now. What it IS is a whole CD of really excellent musical chanting, ranging from funny to tearful, and from belly dance level rythms to meditative.

My two favorites on the CD both have Sting-Ji (yes, Sting.. the musician.. him!) singing on them, but i swear thats almost coincidence. They are the MahaMantra (the Hare Krishna one) chanted in medley with Amazing Grace, and "the ring song" (about Hanuman finding Sita) which had me fall on the floor laughing the first time i heard it, and i have since decided is a good one to dance to.

Because this CD features a wide range of styles, and a variety of chants, it is a good choice if you want a great "listen to" album, or an intro to Krishna Das and the different styles of chant music out there. Since most of the album is dancable rythms, it would also be a good dance, raks sharki (belly dance), or excersize CD."

Classic Kirtan

Linda Johnsen | 09/08/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'm a big fan of kirtan (yoga devotional chanting) and have a huge collection of kirtan music. Krishna Das' "Namah Shivaya" from his Pilgrim Heart CD is my #1 all-time favorite kirtan chant. This is a fabulous CD; in fact it's one of the classic CDs that first ignited the kirtan movement in America."

Wonderful

William Bryan Harrell III | Greenfield, MA, USA | 05/15/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Krishna Das albums of chanting are much like bathing in a warm south Pacific sea where the sky is deep bule, only a few clouds pass by and none that disturb, being moved by the carress of the ocean tides.

This album is delightful.
