The follow-up to the critically acclaimed Smaranam, Kirtan offers a provocative contemporary rendering of chants from India’s bhakti tradition in the lively call-and-response style focusing on songs of saints like Narottama dasa Thakura and Bhaktivinoda Thakura. It tells the story of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who inaugurated the congregational chanting movement as a means for attaining love of God in the present age.

This is the second part of the unique recording set of bhajans and kirtans sung by legendary Agni Deva Prabhu. 88 pages of high quality colored book is a masterpiece of publishing with every page filled up with devotional inspiration, as well as every second of a record. Absolutely recommended!
