I don't usually recommend things like this, but I've enjoyed this CD so very much. I'll include a warning: Be Joyful At Your Own Risk. Because this really lifts the energy up!!! You might find yourself humming along, or bobbing your head to the beat. Even dancing in the kitchen!
Joyful devotion always transcends any differences. Whether it be religious, cultural or whatever.... all paths lead to the One.
Flow of Grace consists of two CD's. The first has several versions of the Hanuman Chalisa, the second is a pronunciation guide. Its good to listen to that first, as recommended by Krishna Das. Because the chants WILL be running softly through your brain after you listen to them. chuckle
Now I'm going to quote something that Krishna Das wrote directly from the accompanying booklet. No, I don't have permission! But I feel that these three paragraphs say IT ALL, and I wish to share this with everyone.
"It was through reading the Ramacharitamanasa and chanting the Hanuman Chalisa that I began to understand the subtlety and power of the path of devotion and the sublime way that love can transform the hardest heart into the heart of a saint. It is love that brings meaning to our lives.The path of love goes right through the middle of every heart.
No one is locked out. No one is turned away. No one is unworthy. The love that lives within each and every being is Bhagavan; it is Ram, Buddha Nature, the Atman, the Self, the One. It is who we are - our own True Nature, radiant and shining like a million suns.
This quality of unlimited inner strength can only be awakened when it is in the service of Love. God is love, and when we align ourselves with that love and act in the service of that love, anything is possible." Krishna Das
