Krishna Das (born Jeffrey Kagel May 31, 1947 in Long Island, New York) is a U.S. vocalist known for his performances of Indian devotional music called kirtan (chanting the names of the gods). With eight albums released since 1996, Das is perhaps the best known U.S. singer of kirtan-style music. Krishna Das traveled to India in the 1960s where, along with Ram Dass, he studied with a Hindu guru named Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaj-ji). Krishna Das has studied Buddhist meditation practices, Bhakti Yoga - in Hinduism this is the yoga of devotion, and is now devoted to singing and teaching. He has released several CDs, and he travels around the world giving performances and teaching, sometimes with Ram Dass. In recent years he also has often led workshops in combination with leading meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg. He has also offered workshops with yoga teacher Dharma Mittra.
