We are very happy to announce Dr Krishna Kant, a renowned Indian musician’s unexpected but welcome visit to Chicago this Saturday, August 27th. \u00a0We are trying to arrange for a concert at the Center during our Celebrating the Divine program from 3:00 to 5:00 pm and what a better way to celebrate Mandali Month than to listen to the heart songs of Kabir to the Beloved.\u00a0We will have an intimate gathering with him and his guitar, playing love songs to the Divine Beloved…<\/div>\n
Dr. Krishna Shukla, a Baba Lover who has spent much time at Meherabad, sings bhajans that will melt your heart. He especially loves the songs of Kabir, one of Baba\u2019s favorites.\u00a0Krishna Kant Shukla gave up his job as assistant professor\u00a0of astronomy at an American college and returned to his native\u00a0India to live his dream of singing bhajans (Indian devotional\u00a0songs expressing love for the Divine). A distinguished lecturer\u00a0with a Ph.D. in solid state physics now turned musician, his love\u00a0for Varanasi, oldest living city in the world and holy city of India,\u00a0and his passion for music \u201ccombine to serve as his breath for\u00a0survival\u201d. “Time stands still in Varanasi\u201d Dr. Kant Shukla has said\u00a0and \u201cmusic is in my blood,… singing makes me come alive\u201d. His\u00a0bhajan performances at various cities in India have won him accolades.\u00a0He has performed at the London Mela as a distinguished\u00a0guest of the Mayor of London, but of more particular interest\u00a0to Baba lovers is that Krishna has sung for Meher Baba’s\u00a0old disciples at Meherazad, where, according to Meherabad resident\u00a0Peter Booth, his “performance was one of the most moving\u00a0and powerful I have experienced in thirty years.”<\/div>\n
