This kirtan singer's beauty and sincerity still haunts me, along with this simple and delicious maha mantra melody.
In Mayapur in mid Feb 2010, the village was growing by the hundreds every day as pilgrims from all over the world arrived. By the end of February, dozens of thousands of pilgrims would inflate this otherwise tiny village into a Vaishnav Mecca - for a couple weeks. With the crowds came many many kirtan leaders from many countries, and so often an informal kirtan would spring up on a street, in a park, near a temple, in a hotel room...
One day I happened upon this kirtan, in front of the main temple at ISKCON Mayapur. The band is beautifully international. And the singer... really struck a chord deep inside of me. He is so utterly relaxed, resting in the mantra; so vibrantly alive and joyful, singing to the beloved; meeting all eyes with a kind smile, occasionally closing his eyes and tasting the nectar of the chant inside. May we all find that place of sweet simple devotion!
