Krishna Das is known for his ability to transport music lovers to other worlds with the eloquence of his deep, hypnotic voice. Today, in a rare moment, he offers Flow of Grace--a collector's book and CD specially created to deepen our understanding of one of the most revered pieces of Hindu literature, Hanuman Chaleesa. Forty lyrical verses give praise to Hanuman--the monkey god known as the pinnacle of bhakti (devotion) and the remover of fears and obstacles. It is said that just by reciting these powerful Sanskrit words, you will gain great strength and confidence, and be filled with divine energy. Now with Flow of Grace, Krishna Das explores:
- The correct pronunciation and translation of each of the forty transformative verses
- How to invoke Hanuman's grace and healing
- The power of kirtan (sacred chant), chaupai (Hindi poetry), and more
Flow of Grace also includes a specially recorded CD of Krishna Das chanting all forty verses of Hanuman Chaleesa for listeners to chant along with, and to experience the healing powers of this great work. Synopsis
World-renowned recording artist Krishna Das gives readers a rare treat: commentary, instruction, and a CD exploring the classic Hindu poem Hanuman Chaleesa.
