One Track Heart: The Story of Krishna Das

Excellent! A must have if you are a KD fan! I wish there were a bit more concert footage, but the story is amazing and some of the old photos and video footage are absolutely amazing! I've been fortunate to see KD live a few times, and at Bhakti Fest 2013 "stumbled" across KD and a few of his close friends having lunch and they invited me to sit down and eat with them. He is a very humble human being, and he has had to fight his demons as many of us continue to do in our walk. He definitely is the chantmaster... so inspirational. Now for me to sit down and learn the Hanuman Chalisa...

I loved this movie, and will undoubtedly see it again. A story of utter devotion to the heart of one's existence, as seen through the eyes of Krishna Das and those who know and love him, One Track Heart delivers. I came upon the music of this spiritual bard when my daughter was dying. I would listen to Krishna Das every night, and it would carry me to the peace that is within us all, no matter what. It is eight years later, and imagine my surprise to first, find this treasure of a DVD, and second, to hear in it that many people are drawn to this masterful music when a loved one is dying, or when other spiritual transformative events are occurring. See this movie, and be inspired by the story and music of Krishna Das. Thank you, Krishna Das.

This DVD offers a sweet and poignant look at the spiritual road of Krishna Das. If you aren't familiar with KD, he is a heartful and sincere seeker of depth and spiritual experience. If you are a KD fan, this movie gives you more of his journey and his truth, along with more fabulous kirtan. In this evolution of his story, KD shares his struggle/challenge with the ego which wants to come up because of and around his fame and success. What a great and honest offering. As is predictable, he finds the way to soften and to come to the clear truth of his service and his songs. Definitely an uplifting story and a lovely walk in the spiritual aspect of our life.

Having recently discovered Kirtan music, this film offered an opportunity to learn more about America's leading Kirtan practitioner. The film delivered much more than I expected. Krishna Das is truly a fascinating character with a moving story. It is the story of a talented Jewish boy from Long Island whose experiments with LSD lead him to Ram Dass and then to India, where he is inspired by the master, Neem Karoli Baba (known to followers as Maharaj-ji), to express his devotion through music. This is just the beginning of a journey in which devotion, music, and grace overcome the obstacles to real spiritual understanding. Including interviews with Ram Dass, Daniel Golemen, Sharon Salzberg, and several others, this film will go on my list of great spiritual documentaries. And I haven't even mentioned the wonderful soundtrack.

Absolutely love this doc. I saw KD at a small event and wondered why he seemed to be so much in conflict with himself and why he vibrated a distaste for fame. This film beautifully helped me to understand more about KD and his relationship with Neem Karoli Baba. If I were in the habit of purchasing videos I would own this. Overall it was among the best of all my instant view purchases. I have even more compassion and insight into one man's spiritual earnestness.

Spiritual journeys are great adventures of inner exploration. We wander exotic inner and outer places once we choose to embark on a conscious spiritual life. And meet many cool people along the way.Krishna Das' story makes me sing along with him and the thousands who are inspired by his chants. I play them in my car on the way to work and they keep me chill. Great film. Good company. A glimpse into what a heart wide open looks like, feels like and can accomplish.Bravo!

I first learned of Krishna Das' music in a yoga class, and have a few favorites that I like to use during Svasna. When I saw this documentary I decided I had to watch it learn more about this person who created this relaxing music. Turns out his story is pretty crazy, and starts from his career as an American rockstar - I HAD NO IDEA. Anyway, this is more of a drug, rock 'n roll story than a meditative relaxing story but is totally interesting regardless.

Loved this film. Krishna Das doesn't sugar-coat his story. He finds himself through experiencing both ups and downs, and through questioning his own motives and purpose. Ultimately, we discover that it all comes back to love.. through connection with the Divine, and Krishna Das takes us on that journey in this moving film. Also, get the book "Chants of a Lifetime" for an even more personal glimpse of his life.
