Chants of a Lifetime


Book Description

Chants of a Lifetime offers an intimate collection of stories, teachings, and insights from Krishna Das, who has been called "the chant master of American yoga" by the New York Times. Since 1994, the sound of his voice singing traditional Indian chants with a Western flavor has brought the spiritual experience of chanting to audiences all over the world. He has previously shared some of his spiritual journey through talks and workshops, but now he offers a unique book-with-audio download combination that explores his fascinating path and creates an opportunity for just about anyone to experience chanting in a unique and special way. Chants of a Lifetime includes photos from Krishna Das’s years in India and also from his life as a kirtan leader—and the audio that is offered exclusively in the book consists of a number of "private" chanting sessions with the author. Instead of just being performances of chants for listening, the recordings make it seem as if Krishna Das himself is present for a one-on-one chanting session. The idea is for the listener to explore his or her own practice of chanting and develop a deepening connection with the entire chanting experience.

Neem Karoli Baba: An Indian Incarnation of Lord Hanuman- A Devotional Book for Those Whose Life Has Become Meaningless


Book Description

This book is about Neem Karoli Baba. The date of birth of Neem Karoli Baba is not known. It is presumed that Baba was born around 1900. He left his body on 11 Sep 1973. He helped millions to start their lives and made it trouble free. He became a divine energy for people of all faiths, Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, men and women, young and old, Indian and western. Presidents, Vice Presidents, Governors etc, Amongst first of his western devotee was Dr Richard Alpert of USA a professor of clinical psychology at the Harvard University, USA. He met Baba in 1967. But even after he left his body in 1973 people came to his Ashram and their worries were solved. For example Steve Jobs CEO of Apple came to India and visited the Ashram in 1974, after Baba had left his body. After he went back to USA soon his fortune started building up and Apple became one of the biggest names in industry. Mark Zukerberg Founder of Face Book was also helped. Famous Hollywood actress and producer Julia Roberts, is a devotee of the guru Neem Karoli Baba. "Larry" Brilliant an American epidemiologist and author of "Sometimes Brilliant" participated in the successful World Health Organization (WHO) smallpox eradication program on the advice of Neem Karoli Baba. There are no books, or preaching by Baba. The only books that are available are from his Indian and western devotees who complied experiences of various devotees that came in contact with Baba. I hope this book would help the western readers to understand "Hinduism," Master/ disciple, God/ devotee relationships to solve mundane problems and rid of the worries anxiety and misery.

Grim Tale of Hypochondriac Heart


Book Description

Hypochondria? It’s an imaginary illness. Illness is a physical condition. How can it be unreal? There are cases in actual life when a person obsessively believes that he or she is suffering from certain specific symptoms of a disease, which do not exist. Yes, it can happen. It happened to me—a tragic victim of the adverse impact of ubiquitous ads. This book is the story of how it began and how I passed through three long agonizing decades of suffering from acute chest pain and survived another forty plus years to recount the dour narrative.
