Few figures in modern spirituality, particularly in the West, have impacted the hearts and minds of contemporary seekers as Krishna Das has.
A devotee of the North Indian Saint, Neem Karoli Baba (Maharajji), Krishna Das has played an enormous role in popularizing the traditional practice of kirtan in the West, and has evolved into an accessible teacher, although perhaps a reluctant one, and a spiritual friend to many along the way.
Layering traditional kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Krishna Das has been called the “Chant Master of American Yoga” (NYTimes).
With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das, known to friends, family, and fans as simply, “KD,” has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and temples and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling western chant artist of all time.
In a recording career spanning more than two decades, he has released 16 acclaimed full-length albums, his music serving as an easily approachable gateway to the devotional traditions of the East, and his voice serving as a conduit to the yearning that is the wellspring of all spiritual paths. His album ‘Live Ananda’ (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.
This year's gathering will continue to serve as a Food Drive for the Maui Food Bank , as it has since 2006 when Ram Dass initiated the Thanksgiving Sunday Maui Satsang / Kirtan program at the then Studio Maui (2006 -2011), then moved the program to the Historic Makawao Union Church (2012 - 2018) and finally the Maui Arts and Cultural Center's Castle Theater in 2019. The program resumed after the Pandemic in it's new home at the Napili Kai Beach Resort's Aloha Pavilion, 2021 to current 2024.
Participants are encouraged to bring their generous organic boxed or canned food donations that are collected in the Maui Food Bank Food Bins for pick up the next day.
