about

This is Damodar Das' 3rd album, and most accurately represents the sacred chanting he leads throughout the Finger Lakes and beyond. Sacred, fun, and musical!

credits

released November 5, 2016

Plainly and simply, this CD is meant to be sung along with. It's intention, unlike my previous 2 CDs, is to give a good representation of the kirtans we do regularly at yoga studios and venues throughout the Finger Lakes and beyond. While it's not a live recording per se, each track received little or no editing to preserve a live feel. As such, I would like you to consider the possibility of using the CD as if you were actually coming to a Damodar Das Kirtan event, which means, of course: don't just listen, sing! Or as they say in Kirtanland, "Hari Bol!"

When you sing the 'responses' during a Kirtan, it's part of the Divine process of hearing the mantra, internalizing it, expressing it forth, then hearing what you and everyone else has sung yet again. The cylce repeats itself in a never-ending sea of Love that you take home with you and spread into the world.

May this CD be an expressing of the Love that you already are, a Love alive.

Love

Damodar Das
