Book Description
About the Book
"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 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-and-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 download that is offered exclusively in the book consists of a number of "private" chanting sessions with the author. Instead of 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.

About the Author
In the winter of 1968, KRISHNA DAS met spiritual seeker Ram Dass and was enthralled by the stories of his recent trip to India, where he met the legendary guru Neem Karoli Baba. Soon thereafter, he left behind his dreams of being a rock 'n' roll star and was on his way to India to meet this remarkable Being. In the three years he spent there with Neem Karoli Baba, Krishna Das's heart was drawn to the practice of Bhakti Yoga-the yoga of devotion-and especially to the practice of kirtan (chanting the Divine Names). Krishna Das returned to the United States and, as he continued chanting, developed his signature style, fusing traditional kirtan structure with Western harmonic and rhythmic sensibilities. He travels the world, leading call-and-response kirtans and sharing this deep, experiential practice with thousands of people. More information can be found at: www.krishnadas.com.

Preface
After almost three years of living in India in the presence of my guru, Neem Karoli Baba, he asked me to return to America. Sitting in front of him, at what would turn out to be the last time I saw him, I was petrified. When I left the States, I had given everything away, even my jeans. I imagined that I would always stay in India. Now I was being sent back. Where will I go? What will I do? I wondered in a panic. I didn't want to ask him what I should do when I got there, but I suddenly blurted out in anguish, "Maharaj-ji! How can I serve you in America?" Maharaj-ji looked at me with mock disgust and said, "What? If you ask how you should serve, then it is no longer service. Do what you want." This threw my mind into turmoil. Maharaj-ji laughed and said, "So, how will you serve me?" My mind was blank.

Introduction
When I met my guru, Neem Karoli Baba (also known as Maharaj-ji), I met a love that had no end, no beginning. It was completely new, yet it was as if I'd suddenly found myself awake again after a long sleep. There was nothing I had to do to get this love. It was always shining, whether I was turned toward it or not. When my own negative stuff closed me down and made it impossible for me to feel that love, some word, look, or gesture of his would turn all the lights back on at once and I was home again. This happened over and over, day after day, during the time I spent with him.
