Some
spiritual truths cannot be
conveyed in words, but are
carried instantly to the soul
when experienced directly
through music. Vaiyasaki Das, a
tenor and international
kirtaniya, travels the world
transforming hearts by the
chanting of the Divine Names of
God. His kirtan music features
inspirational sacred music
gathered from many Kirtan
traditions from India and
Bangladesh.
Vaiyasaki, an initiated disciple
of Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada, spent many years in
India and Bangladesh since the
1970's learning the ragas
inherent to the various kirtan
styles from master kirtan
musicians, saints, and singers
who inspire whole villages in
Bangladesh to join in the
ecstatic chanting of the
spiritual celebration of kirtan.
Since the 1970's he has toured,
introducing raga kirtan and
devotional Bengali music in five
continents, recorded twelve CDs, and
written two books on how kirtan/yoga
culture was transplanted to the
West.
His considerable knowledge of
the vast repertoire of Indian
bhajans has provided the
foundation for a new generation
of artists in the flourishing
genre of kirtan yoga and mantra
meditation.
Each of his musical recordings
is intended as a heartfelt
offering from the heart. His CDs
include: The Way of Love,
Charana Kamal, Kirtan Rasa,
Hari-Nam-Ananda, Transcendence,
Vrindavan Chandra, Chaitanya
Chandra, Ratha-Yatra USA,
Bhakti-Ratna Mala, Best of
Vaiyasaki, Sri Krishna Divya Nam
- The Beautiful Divine Name, &
Kirtan Explosion - High Energy
Kirtans. |
