Q. We can hear elements of Rock in your music style. Can Bhakti and Rock come together? What challenges did you face while making your album, Kirtan Wallah?
A. Bhakti and Rock come together in me. Rock is a style of music, what’s happening (here) is repeating the name. What’s spiritual is what dissolves the mind, the chanting. The challenge is always the same when you are recording — to ensure that the Bhav and the feeling is transmitted through the music and isn’t lost in the studio in the recording process.

Often touted as the Rockstar of Yoga, Krishna Das (born Jeffrey Kagel) mixes Rock with Hindu devotional music kirtan. Kirtan Wallah is the latest album of the vocalist, who was nominated in the Best New Age Album category in 2013 Grammy Awards for his label, Live Ananda.
