How can one encapsulate Vaiyasaki Das’ longevity, diversity and mystique? After all, how can one summarize a career that has defied categorization, a voice that has defied description, a bhava that has brought many to deep spiritual experiences, and an appeal that has defied conventional demographics?

Widely recognized as a pioneer in bringing the science and art of Raga Kirtan to the West, his last 30 years are testimony of his offerings of love and devotion to God and humanity. The distinction of each body of work he produces keeps amazing us. Charana Kamal, and Way of Love are classic examples of how he makes the traditional Raga kirtan accessible to the Western ear. His live recordings Kirtan Rasa and Hari-Nam-Ananda takes us to high realms only reached by the chanting of the divine names in sat-sang congregation. Transcendence and Vrindavan Chandra are testimony of the musical / devotional culture of kirtan that he absorbed back in the 70s. Yet Vaiyasaki Das affirms “I have yet to record my deepest expressions of kirtan.”

Vaiyasaki is often cited as an inspiration for the new kirtan artists popular today. Inspired by the teachings of his preceptor, Bhaktivedantha Swami, and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Vaiyasaki Das offers his music in gratitude to their devotional service to mankind.

Whether you favor Vaiyasaki’s live performances, his devotion, his powerhouse vocals, or his musical talent, you’ll find that all albums celebrate a full spectrum of his multi-faceted talents. His work is timeless and transcendent. Ten lush, emotional, and beautiful CDs celebrate not only his accomplished musicianship and devotion, but also his deep knowledge of the kirtan tradition and ragas –understood by a westerner deeply immersed in their culture.

His songs are the fruit of his devotion, spirit, musicianship, and integrity –to uplift the consciousness of the planet through sacred sound vibrations.

“I am grateful that my music has found a home in so many hearts”

“Love and blessings to all who listen”
