Chants of a Lifetimeoffers an intimate collection of stories, teachings, and insights from Krishna Das, who has been called "the chant master of American yoga" by theNew York Times.Since 1996, 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-and-CD 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 Lifetimeincludes artwork-photos, reproductions of sacred art, and other memorabilia from Krisha Dasrs"s years in India and also from his life as a kirtan leader-and the CD 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.
