About this listen

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's 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.

Critic Reviews

“Krishna Das offers a gift of love—this candid, lively, and helpful guide to the path that opens the heart. Chants of a Lifetime is an instant spiritual classic.”
Daniel Goleman, the author of Emotional Intelligence

“In Chants of a Lifetime, Krishna Das opens a door to a world of boundless love. This is a book about a real and transformational path—including all of life’s challenges, inspiration, and uncertainty. It serves as an invitation to unwavering happiness.”
Sharon Salzberg, the author of Lovingkindness:The Revolutionary Art of Happiness

“Knowing the sweet power and depth of Krishna Das’s singing, I was delighted to see, in this honest testament, how he got there. This book shows how Kirtan (singing the names of God) enters into our spiritual heart and then lights it up.”
Ram Dass, the author of Be Here Now

“Like a night of ecstatic chanting, this book throws open the doors of the heart. Krishna Das writes like he sings: with earthy, quirky, luminous clarity. Chants of a Lifetime is a reminder that simply uttering any of the many names of the Beloved has the power to free us from ourselves, and make of our hearts an offering to the One. May we never again forget. May we never stop singing.”
Mirabai Starr, the author of new translations of John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila

Well the voice of Krishna Das is enough and doesn’t require a review as such. I repeated this audiobook couple of times and every time I find some new story I missed or dint pay attention to and I want to repeat the whole thing again. Truly amazing.

Loved the flow of Krishna Das' words in his own voice - the sweetness of his stories with Neem Karoli Baba; the longing and struggle after his guru left the body; the humility, surrender and desperation with which he finally took to chanting as his sadhana.

Listening to Krishna Das was a feeling which can only be experienced and not written down in words. Words straight from the heart and reaching the heart. Just felt like being in the present moment. I just let the chapters seep into me. Just felt there was some voice which woke me up at 3 am tonight to listen to him for the last 1 odd hour and finish it around 415 am. Just have a desire to meet KD once and it will happen if it has too. Love and Light. ~Gautam
