Govindas's kirtan flows like a waterfall of raw emotion, his sweetness and passion permeating every chant. Eschewing slickness and 'commerciality', Govindas sings from his soul and from his deep longing and connection to the spirit. And when his beloved Radha accompanies him on mridangam, watch out, the gates of heaven are opening!!!!!!!
---Jai Uttal
Much gratitude for the lovely cd's!!! I must confess that your rendition of Hare Krishna brought tears to my eyes yesterday morning as I was listening to it. The Indian chanteuse is divine amongst the tablas and singing. Also the last track sent chills up my spine! WOW!

One of the paths of yoga is called Bhakti Yoga. It is the path of the Heart. The Spiritual Heart. It is one of these places inside that we can't necessarily see, but we surely can feel. Bhakti Yoga is working with the heart channel. Love. Acceptance. Surrender. Endless Surrender. Into something greater. One of the practices that amplifies the Heart channel is Kirtan. Singing the Names of the Divine. Our voices connect our Hearts. All praising the One. We become an orchestra together. We feel that connection to eachother. We know we are connected to something greater. In that feeling of gratitude, we celebrate the beauty of love!
My guru is Neem Karoli Baba. The guru is a great teacher, a guide through the mystery of life. He was considered a saint by many in India. He was very simple. His only possessions were the clothes on his body. Which was usually just a blanket. His presence of love was so strong that people were attracted to him from all over---even Americans like Bhagavan Das, Ram Dass, Krishna Das, and Jai Uttal- came from America and their lives were transformed. These guys are his hands still working in the physical world. These guys are my teachers. It was his love and deep knowing that kept people coming back to him. Maharajji (Neem Karoli) left his body in the early 70's. His presence is so strong that 30 years after passing away, many people on this planet are still being guided by him.
The one thing he required was that kirtan was constantly being sung around him. This is where I go when I sing kirtan---to this place that takes me back to the knowing inside my own heart. And love is at the core of that knowing.
The chants or Kirtans on this cd come from this great tradition of Bhakti. The practice of kirtan is a musical journey, a yogic adventure. May they be a doorway for you to explore magical mandala of your inner Heart!
With much love and respect,
Ram Ram,
Govindas

beautiful music
pure heart
author: SathyaThe true mark of devotion is pure love of God & the instrument in kirtan is the heart. Both are so manifested in this CD and that-s why it is so divine. Thanks to Govindas & Radha for sharing the love that they are through their uplifting music. I love it !!!
beautiful
author: RobinI listen to kirtan in my car while driving. This is my favorite because the singers are really chanting from the heart. When I listen I feel like I am back in India sitting in my guru's ashram.

author: WadeGovindas & Radha: Thank you so much for sharing this music with us! It's your sincerity and devotion that really shines. Your singing and playing are truly inspiring but most impressive is the organic, subtle space you create . . . it truly is a space in which you can surrender.

Beautiful and so Honest
author: Nancy MI had the honor of seeing Govindas in person. This is true Kirtan because it comes from the soul and heart. Thank you for that.
Govindas is a genius and he can calm your mind
author: BridgetGovindas is actually my yoga teacher. Prior to going to his class I would have never imagined chanting or singing these songs. He has a way of reaching deep into your heart and extracting great spirit and emotion. It is a great way to find your soul and feel wonderful!

For an entire year, my yoga instructor played selected songs from this CD. When she told me she was moving, I just had to get the names of the songs to practice yoga & meditation on my own. That is when she reffered me to Govindas. Their chants are by far the most relaxing of any meditation experience I've ever had!

Govindas is a flower of the one ultimate perfection.
author: James ZatolokinAn ecstatic journey into the heart of pure love, from its delicate beginnings, the gentle bliss of Sita Ram, to the totally intoxicating Hare Krishna, to the fierceness of Jai Ma! appropriate of a warrior, to the epic Lullaby Hanuman Chaleesa, not to mention many triumphant Sita Rams inbetween that rain in and through the listener like so many petals of an infinite flower that keeps blossoming and blossoming. So much beauty, so much grace, so much sweetness and devotion. Thank you Govindas for your offering, for manifesting a transcendent reality with such innocence and love.
