"...the Jimi Hendrix of Kirtan masters."
Teacher, performer, counter-cultural icon, lover of God: Bhagavan Das is as rich and manifold as Existence itself.
Bhagavan Das gained worldwide fame from the publication of Be Here Now, the well-known "DIY guide to enlightenment." The book documents Richard Alpert's transformation into Ram Dass through an initial encounter with Bhagavan Das, who ultimately brought him to Maharaji. This fateful sequence of events has affected millions of people as it has rippled through time.

Bhagavan Das Returns to Vancouver!
This remarkable sacred singer, musician and spiritualist returns for two special events. A magical evening of sacred music and chants, and an inspirational Nada Yoga workshop.
Kirtan
A magical blend of ancient rhythms, music and chants. The depth and spiritual resonance of Bhagavan Das' vocals will move you. This is a mesmerizing musical experience.
Kirtan is not a concert but a musical experience that brings the audience right into the performance. The sacred sounds we will learn and sing together as a group create an unforgettable and breathtaking energy that will infuse and awaken you, helping you to release worrisome thoughts and feel the power of a group voice.
To sing with Bhagavan Das is an experience not to be missed. The power of his voice combined with his striking presence will rock you to your core. His music includes ancient traditional mantras as well as gospel music. This is music that awakens the heart!
Truly Kirtan is for everyone — there are no prerequisites, no religious beliefs or cultural backgrounds that are needed to experience and participate in Kirtan.

More on Bhagavan Das!
Today Bhagavan Das tours almost constantly, chanting the name of God and giving structured workshops on the mystic effects of sound. He visits all the major cities in North America and Europe yearly, and usually spends some time in the Caribbean or Mexico on winter retreats.
Beloved by his many fans and devotees, Bhagavan Das, or "Baba" as he is called, continues to touch the hearts of all those who interact with him. His almost palpable love of the divine led Lex Hixon to remark, "Bhagavan Das truly lives the Ramakrishna reality."
