Berkshire Yoga Festival 2025: Full Schedule

7:00pm EDT

Sacred Names: Kirtan with Chant Master Krishna Das FILLING

Thursday June 12, 2025 7:00pm - 9:00pm EDT

Join us for an evening of chanting with Krishna Das.

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.

Kirtan is a simple and meditative traditional sadhana (spiritual practice.) The practice itself involves repetitive call and response singing between a leader and a group, where what is being sung back and forth is mantra, sacred names, or names of God. It is said to awaken bhakti, a kind of reverential and loving devotion within the heart.

Kirtans with Krishna Das require no previous experience. All are welcome.
