about

If we’ve chanted together before, many of these kirtans will likely feel familiar to you. I’ve been traveling with most of these mantras and melodies for years, picking them up here and there; this one off a cassette tape 22 years ago, another I learned in a temple in Brooklyn seven years ago, still another from a Brahmachari who happened to be crashing at my little apartment 15 years ago, and on and on. They’ve stuck with me through passing time like old friends, continually bringing me back from the craziness of all apparent things and into contemplation, into moments of what feels like profound stillness and reflection. And by pure grace I’ve somehow been able to share this practice with many of you.
If you’re reading this and we’ve never chanted together before, well, this is what it is, what it was, and most likely what it will continue to be. I hope you grow to love these chants as much as I do.
With love,
Devadas
