Album Notes Personnel includes: Ram Dass, Krishna Das, Jai Uttal, Diana Rogers.Recorded at The Banquet Recording Studios, Santa Rosa, California.The Beatles never wrote a song about him, and he never became a household name on the order of Allen Ginsberg, but the life and deeds of Ram Dass were no less profound in their impact on late 1960s consciousness. Like his contemporaries Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, and Aldous Huxley, the former Richard Alpert believed that psychedelic drugs held the promise to a better world. A few years after being dismissed from Harvard's faculty, Alpert travelled to the Himalayas, where he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, and received his Hindu name. His conversion inspired countless others to journey to India, and to eventually evolve a synthesized, uniquely American form of bhakti, or Hindu worship.CHORD OF LOVE was recorded in 1993, well before Ram Dass suffered a debilitating stroke. Its 15 tracks include straightforward kirtans, or chants, as well as several readings by Dass of works by Kabir, Rumi, Paramahansa Yogananda, and other saints. On "Ram Bolo," Jai Uttal's repeated pleas and weariness convey an intimate relationship with the Divine. The chants address different aspects of God, and offer a thorough, impassioned survey of Hindu devotion. | |||||||||||||||
