Another wonderfully uplifting CD from Swami Nirvanananda. Each chant is sung partly in English, Italian
and German, which brings a lovely universal quality to them. A gifted musician,
Swami Nirvanananda brings beauty and devotion to all his music. With his
beautiful voice and 'orchestral' harmonium playing, (how does he get that sound
from his harmonium?) these chants will touch your soul.

About
the artist:
Swami Nirvanananda was born in Italy
and after traveling to India
many years ago was initiated into the Dashnami Vedanta Order and became a wandering monk. His Guru is
Paramahansa Yogananda. A gifted
musician, Swami Nirvanananda spends much of his time traveling the world
chanting to the Master. Each year he travels to Italy
and other countries in Europe, then to the United
States and on to Hawaii,
before returning to India.
We had the
pleasure of meeting Swami Nirvanananda at one of the many kirtans he gives
around the world and found in him a very sweet and humble soul. Given how he
chants, that was no surprise. Swami attends the SRF convocation each year but
he is so quiet when not chanting that he is easy to miss - as we did for twenty
years! If you get a chance to hear him chant live, we recommend you do so.
All
proceeds to Swami Nirvanananda's CDs go to support his charitable
projects in and around Puri, in the East Indian state of Orissa. For more
