"Politics and people will let you down and life can be very disappointing. At such a time, when you hear Krishna's flute... how can you resist?" - Cheb I Sabbah. 

"Live at Rudra Mandir" is the Kirtaniyas's first live album recorded on February 02/15/2013 at Rudra Mandir in Berkeley, California. 

The project was produced by the late Cheb I Sabbah who mixed and supervised mastering of the recording and was his last musical project. 

Kirtaniyas are ever grateful for the opportunity to sing the glorious names of the Divine in a traditional form, using melodies and rhythms taken from the ancient Bhakti lands such as Vrindavan, India and Navadipa, Mayapura, India.

“In Vrindavan” is a new Music Video and Single by the Kirtaniyas featuring children from Food for Life Vrindavan, an all girl’s charity school run on donation basis in Vrindavan, India. 

This release is part of a fundraising effort to bring support and attention to the school’s projects and to encourage learning of Kirtan, sacred mantra singing. 

*Personal statement from Vijay Krsna, band and project leader, founder of Sriyam Records:

"I've visited India over 14 times and spent a total of three years of my life in this sacred land of Vrindavan. Its culture offers so much to the world from agriculture, Dharma, community and music amongst other things, all in their most essential forms - Bhakti Yoga. This song was inspired by folk songs of the land, which speak about walking through Vrindavan’s flower groves and forests in fellowship, singing to its Divine couple - Radha and Syama (a name of Krishna), who are the epitome of pure love and beauty, the sacred river Yamuna that provided water to the land and its people. This way of life has been kept alive through the hearts of the people in the community who have imbibed its moods of pure love and devotion (Bhakti) and carry it with them, sharing Bhakti through their acts of selfless service but the benefit of One and all.

Each time I visit the Food for Life school in Vrindavan, I am a witness to the impressive development of its projects and values. I see how their schooling has cultivated love and compassion in the hearts of these children. Their school day starts in a way that I could only have dreamed about when I was a child : a good kirtan with cheerful, inspirational singing and dancing. This is a place where children are taught to honor their elders and have respect for one another, where folding hands in a prayer is a beautiful thing, rather than something to be ashamed of… We can certainly learn a thing or two in our Western society from such an establishment. Whilst this school might not be comparable to most Western schools with regards to facilities, what these children have taught me is that their education and upbringing can certainly offer us lessons in gratitude. “In Vrindavan” is me giving something back in return and I give thanks for the opportunity to serve in this way.”

In Vrindavan feat. Sandipani Muni school kids

The Mahamantra is performed by H.G. Agnideva Dasa Prabhu.  
The words of the Mahamantra follow.....

Hare Krishna
Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna
Hare Hare

Hare Rama
Hare Rama
Rama Rama
Hare Hare

Srila Prabhupada Says...

Rama and Krishna are names of God, and Hare is the energy of God. So when we chant the maha-mantra, we address God together with His energy. This energy is of two kinds, the spiritual and the material. At present we are in the clutches of the material energy. Therefore we pray to Krishna that He may kindly deliver us from the service of the material energy and accept us into the service of the spiritual energy. That is our whole philosophy. Hare Krishna means, "O energy of God, O God [Krishna], please engage me in Your service." It is our nature to render service. Somehow or other we have come to the service of material things, but when this service is transformed into the service of the spiritual energy, then our life is perfect.

Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra:  Agnideva Dasa Prabhu:

Radha Ramana Haribol - the first track of our debut album "Heart and Soul".

This is a traditional song found in the mystical village of Vrindavan, the birthplace of Krishna, the land where every step is a dance and every word is a song... 

Radha Ramana Haribol glorifies the Divine Beloved of Krishna - Radha. with his flute, Krsna attracts the minds and hearts of all... but he has surrendered his flute at the feet of Radha.

Haribol! Haribol! Glories to them!

Radha Ramana Haribol - (Heart & Soul)

This track is from the album Prerna - The Timeless Inspiration and is available for purchase on CD Baby here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/madhavasrockband
