Getting Down & Yogi: Phil Goldberg & Krishna Das

A public speaker, Interfaith Minister and spiritual counselor, he has lectured and led workshops throughout the country and has appeared in national media.  He blogs regularly on Huffington Post and Elephant Journal.  His websites are www.AmericanVeda.com and www.PhilipGoldberg.com.

Krishna Das:
Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Krishna Das has been called yoga's "rock star." With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das – known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD – has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling chant artist of all time, with over 300,000 records sold. His first studio recording in a decade, "HEART AS WIDE AS THE WORLD" invests KD's magnetic chanting with an electrifying rock 'n' roll sensibility informed by a lifetime of experience and musical love.
