My Favorite Music and Musicians,
This review is from: YOGA OF KIRTAN: Conversations On The Sacred Art Of Chanting (includes CD) (Paperback)
Kirtan is a fabulous form of spiritual chanting from India that's caught on at yoga centers around the U.S., I'm happy to report. This book explains what kirtan is all about and includes interviews with many of the best kirtan performers like Vaiyasaki Das, Ragani and Dave Stringer. Best of all there's a CD with sample tracks from 11 kirtan singers. It's wonderful music!

Fascinating book. Kirtan is ancient but it's only been catching on with the mass public in the last 15 years or so. There was a need to not only explain it to modern Western audiences but also prove it's not just the latest trendy entertainment. The author puts it into that proper perspective, highlighting the history and philosophy, and asking his interviewees intelligent probing questions. It's everything you need to know, and then some.

Music to my ears,

This review is from: YOGA OF KIRTAN: Conversations On The Sacred Art Of Chanting (includes CD) (Paperback)
I always wanted to know what these kirtaneers were thinking, but I could only guess at the internal melodies of their thoughts and feelings. Steven Rosen has brought not only their music to my ears, but their experiences. I can now relate much more personally to the intent of each individual, and the insights help me to go deeper into sacred realities myself. I am very grateful for the revelation of the persons behind the performances. This book helps people enter into the subtle intent of various types of kirtan.
