About The Musicians
Some of the honored guests who played on the this recording are renown
bansuri player Steve Gorn on flute, and on Sarod and Indian Violin,
Stephen James- student of Ravi Shankar for over 20 years. Krishnadas
blessed this project with two guest vocals and Kirtan-wallah Gandharva
Sauls came by the studio to lay down the lightest, sweetest string
bass playing ever. First chair violinist from the Peking Classic Opera
company of New York, Wang Guo Wei came and offered his services playing
Er Hu (two-string chinese violin) on a beautiful traditional Krishna
Bhajan from Bengal.
Response vocals are sung by the Krishna Caravan - a wonderful group
of bhajan singers from the Neem Karoli Baba satsang and the Ammaji satsang.
All these bhaktas came together to make possible a wonderfully sweet
collection of songs to honor our Gurus and all the saints.
