Kamaniya & Keshavacharya Das | ph: Alessia Elysee
“Kamaniya & Keshavacharya Das create a kirtan experience that melts the heart and touches the spiritual Self. Their devotion is contagious and their sound is as Divine as the names of God they chant.”
~ Swami Ramananda, President, Integral Yoga Institute of New York
“The haunting melodies and deep, soulful emotions in Keshavacharya Das’ kirtan bring me immediately to the ancient temple inside of my heart where the moods of longing and ecstasy dance together eternally at the feet of the Lord. I love his singing.”
~ Jai Uttal
Awaken the fullness of your heart with this dynamic duo who have dedicated their lives to the love of Kirtan and living that joy with others!
Attracted by Bhakti Yoga, the path of devotion, Kamaniya and Keshavacharya Das have spent many years living in ashrams, searching for the divine through devotional service and singing. Seeing the impact of chanting on people, they were inspired to commit their lives to sharing the universal spiritual practice of kirtan with the Western world.
Known for her joyful expression, Kamaniya’s love for sacred chanting is apparent. As well as leading her own kirtan for the past decade, she has accompanied eminent devotional singers such as Shyamdas, Jai Uttal, Girish, Durga Das and Gaura Vani & As Kindred Spirits.
Keshavacharya Das’ search for a deeper meaning to life led him to a little Indian town amongst shrines and sadhus, where kirtan became his life. For years as a monk his every breath was spent in meditating on and celebrating divine sound. He spent the last few years traveling across the USA performing kirtan at many yoga studios and retreat centers. Keshavacharya’s acclaimed debut album, Crying of the Soul, has become a favorite among many kirtan CD collections.
Prema Hara’s debut album Sweet Surrender is to be released internationally in early 2010 by Mantralogy.
Distributed by Warner Brothers, Mantralogy is a conscious lifestyle resource delivering music, products, and transformational events that center around the growing subculture of sacred music.
