Krishna Das regularly plays to sold-out crowds of 1500 devotees and has been recording his popular CD's of devotional Indian chants since 1996 as a sharing of his lifetime spiritual journey, especially the practices of Bhakti Yoga (the yoga of devotion) and to Kirtan (call-and-response chanting of the divine names).
Dubbed the chant master of American Yoga by The New York Times and the Pavarotti of Kirtan by Yoga Journal, his groundbreaking music is energised with modern grooves and harmonies to create a soulful practice that is accessible to the Western world while staying true to the path of Bhakti Yoga.
Created to allow people to immerse themselves in a night of Kirtan, this 2xCD set transports the listener into the full live concert experience of the space in which Das shares his personal connection to the One.

Biography:
Krishna Das spent his early musical years leaning towards jazz, blues and rock and roll. When his spiritual path took him to India he was naturally attracted to the spiritual aspects of the Indian culture. Further travels that took him to the Far East and Africa continued to influence his musical perceptions adding new flavors and broadening his horizons. He has absorbed these influences, in particular Indian devotional music, and has translated this music for a western audience.
In 1990 Krishna Das founded Triloka Records. Early travels became the foundation for his work as a producer, musician, singer and songwriter and as head of A&R for the label, Krishna Das plays a pivotal role in establishing Trlloka Records as a vehicle to enable artists to offer their indigenous traditions to a new global audience.
“When I was living in India I heard much kirtan (chanting). I found that I could listen to the singers and sense the depth of their connection with God through the purity of their devotional singing. Krishna Das is an example of someone whose heartsongs open the channels to God.” - Ram Dass
