Vrindavan Chandra: In 1975 I journeyed to India and Bangladesh where I learned the art of Raga Kirtan from the local kirtaniyas, descendants of the original families that have practiced kirtan for generations. Many can trace their roots centuries back to the spiritual renaissance of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who introduced Krishna Kirtan in the 16 th Century.

In 1982 I returned to the West and did a concert tour of America and Canada. All the concerts were recorded and I chose the best of these live recordings which became my first album, Vrindavan Chandra.

Because they are recorded in a live temple atmosphere, there is a special feeling that comes across that is generally not present in a studio recording. The listener will be transported to the spiritual dimension, almost the same as being right there at the concert itself along with everyone else. As you are inspired by the chanting please don’t neglect to turn on your friends so they may enjoy a similar experience.
