Krishna Das, “The Rock Star
of Yoga,” worldwide icon and the best-selling kirtan chant artist of all time
to appear on The Create Your Best Life Ever! Show with Alison J. Kay, PhD
Holistic Life Coach, YA-RYT India Trained Yoga & Meditation Teacher on VoiceAmerica’s
Radio Network.
Voice America Talk Radio Network,
Internet broadcasting pioneer, producing and syndicating online audio and
video, today announced that internationally renowned Kirtan Singer Krishna Das,
with over 300,000 records sold, will join Dr. Alison J. Kay, host of The Create
Your Best Life Ever! radio program on the VoiceAmerica 7th Wave Channel ( www.voiceamerica.com/show/2054/create-your-best-life-ever-what-e
..) Friday, June 8th at 1pm Pacific Time.Krishna Das will be discussing his latest tour for his first studio recording in ten years, “Heart as Wide as the World” through Australia and New Zealand, while announcing his upcoming US tour dates. He’ll also address how Kirtan helps us deal with mental chatter, the challenge of Being Here Now (following on the footsteps of his first teacher and life-long friend Ram Dass) and our karma in 2012. Dr. Alison J. Kay will also be fishing KD for how he got from being a Long Island Jewish boy who loved rock n roll, to be part of the first Eastern wave in the 1970’s, seeing the same guru as Ram Dass and the Beatles went to.
KD's first pilgrimage in 1970 led him to Ram Dass' own
beloved guru, Neem Karoli Baba, known to most as Maharaj-ji, who espoused a
potent message of unconditional love.
Adopting the name Krishna Das, KD began to chant as part of following the path of Bhakti yoga – the yoga of devotion. "We began to learn how to override the things that close us down," KD says. "Chanting was a way of entering into that flow. The theory, of course, is that you develop the strength to continue to override the ability of that stuff to grab you and bring you down to a more conditioned state."
KD is clear that he is first and foremost a devotee, with the sharing of his practice a profound act of his faith. Nevertheless, KD has become an iconic music presence, drawing in other artists, including Sting, Madonna, Mike D, jazz bassist Stanley Jordan, and Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen, some of whom are yoga devotees, while others are simply moved by the power of the music.
"His voice is like gravity," Nichtern says. "You just fall into his voice. Many people, that don't really know what the context is, pick up on that. People listen to KD records when they're having babies, or while they're dying. It strikes a deep chord. It's a fundamental."
"Create Your Best Life Ever!" airs live on Fridays at 1PM Pacific Time/4 PM Eastern Time on The Voice America Seventh Wave Channel.
