Description

The Hindus consider Goswami Tulsidas one of their greatest poets, and of his large body of works Hanuman Chaleesa is his most famous. Forty lyrical verses give praise to Hanuman-the deity known as the pinnacle of bhakti (devotion) and the remover of fears. It is said that just by chanting these powerful Sanskrit words you will gain strength and confidence, and be filled with divine energy. Now with Flow of Grace, Krishna Das offers us the rare opportunity to chant these transformative verses along with him, and to experience the devotional power of Kirtan (sacred chant) at its best. Krishna Das is known for his ability to transport listeners to other worlds with the eloquence of his deep, hypnotic voice and the soothing sounds of the harmonium. On Flow of Grace, we arrive at the feet of Hanuman in honor of the monkey god. Hanuman, in return, grants ease in the removal of obstacles and the solving of problems. Known for his unwavering commitment to righteousness, he is also the devoted teacher who graciously offers help to one's soul in realizing the Divine. Join Krishna Das on Flow of Grace as he pays homage to Hanuman, and experience for yourself the healing powers of one of Hinduism's most important pieces of musical literature.… (more)
