My guest today is Kirtan singer and lovely person, Nina Rao.

Nina learned traditional chants (bhajans) from her grandfather in a village in south India when she nine years old. The chants quietly stayed with her until she rediscovered chanting with Krishna Das in New York in 1996.

Her childhood was spent living in and moving between many countries around the world and when she settled in New York her working life began in the banking world, switched to organizing and leading photographic wildlife safaris in Africa and India, and now for many years, is Krishna Das' business manager and assistant.

Topics Discussed

Nina's worldly and inner journeys
The concept of a Guru
Kirtan as a regular practice
The power of sound/music
The concept of Home
The evolution of the Kirtan movement in the West
Understanding the "why" behind focusing on a particular path
The importance of an open heart
