Editorial Reviews

In a mere eight years, Krishna Das has become one of, if not the most important figure in contemporary American kirtan chanting. Krishna Das has moved thousands to look inside and develop an understanding for the sort of inner harmony one can find by walking a spiritual path. Greatest Hits of the Kali Yuga is a greatest hits album that brings together a series of cuts from Krishna Das's five previously released albums, as well as one new track. In each case, listeners get the opportunity to experience the soul and devotion of Krishna Das's emotive singing. Featured are "Namah Shivaya," "Mountain Hare Krishna," "Shri Guru Charanam" and others. In addition to the musical CD, this package also features a full length DVD with a documentary on the life and career of Krishna Das.- Greatest Hits of the Kali Yuga includes a CD and a full length DVD. A great bargain! Krishna Das will thrill and inspire you to walk the spiritual path and follow your own personal journey. In case you don't know what the "Kali Yuga" is, it is a (very long)Time on earth filled with chaos and great hardships. It also is a Time that allows for the fastest personal growth to make life on earth better as quickly as possible!

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Hits Package with a Plus, September 12, 2004

I've already got everything that Krishna Das has put out, so I debated whether I should purchase this 2 disc set. There is a new 13 minute track to start the collection off and it is ended with a DVD about KD's spiritual path, about one hour long. The pot is further sweetened with additional video of uncut live kirtans. The DVD is worth the price of admission alone.

This is a great package for introducing someone to either Krishna Das or devotional chant. I find my life increasingly enriched through kirtan and would recommend this set to anyone interested in learning more.

This review is from: Greatest Hits of the Kali Yuga (Audio CD)

A few months ago I started getting interested in Sanskrit Mantra after a friend told me about Thomas Ashley-Farrand. I had no idea there was singing and chanting in the Vedic spiritual practices as well, and by chance came across Krishna Das, and something made me buy "Greatest Hits of the Kali Yuga". Imagine my joy when I realised just how lucky I was with this package!

The audio CD & DVD reeks of humility, compassion, feeling & surrender. The live Kirtan recordings are a masterful display of how 'sound' can be used to energise ourselves, open the heart, and alter our consciousness. The candid interviews with Krishna Das and dialogues with others close to him add to the integrity and quality of his work, and that of his guru Neeb Karori Baba.

We are so fortunate to have someone of Krishna Das's devotion and experience in the West, bringing authentic Eastern knowledge in a forum many can relate to, building on his musical strengths and insights. In this modern age we are blessed to be able to 'plug into' this advanced and beautiful spiritual practice without having to travel half way around the world.

This audio CD and DVD set is excellent value for money. Since purchasing it my curiousity has been aroused in Bhakti Yoga, and I've not found anything else yet, that incorporates a blend of Bhakti Yoga (devotion) with pictures! As a first introduction to Krishna Das, chanting, and Bhakti Yoga, "Greatest Hits" is the greatest you can get. You can't lose.

Regards,
Daniel John Hancock

5.0 out of 5 stars Warp Speed Path to the Divine!, January 4, 2005

This review is from: Greatest Hits of the Kali Yuga (Audio CD)

Ram Dass introduced me to chanting in the mid 80's...now I am completely immersed in the way Kirtan opens me to the sacred light within. I suppose it's no coincidence that all my most beloved teachers are connected through KD's Guru, Neem Karoli Baba (Ram Dass, Hilda Charlton)

You can feel the love and devotion pouring out of Krishna Das throughout this CD! The DVD documentary is a jewel as well...and then when you think it can't get any better, the live Kirtan gives your soul wings. I feel the Divine Mother flow through me more powerfully each time I play the Kirtan DVD...I use it as part of my daily spiritual practice, sometimes dancing in bliss.

Whether you are new to Krishna Das or a longtime fan, this CD and DVD are worth the money ten times over.
