Devotional Chanting is all about using your voice to cultivate and sustain the highest quality of mental and emotion experience available to human beings. When you repeat the mantras ("mind-protectors"), you're pronouncing the very Sound Forms of Perfection--you're making the Supreme, the Best you can imagine, present in the form of your own voice.

In so doing, you exchange our ordinary, troubled minds and hearts for something higher, more refined, and infinitely more vast. The effects over time include greater peace of mind and emotional fulfillment, a reduction in the unhealthy self-concern that causes us so much suffering, and direct knowledge of the Divine.

Dr. Kurt “Kailash” Bruder (Ph.D., M.Ed.) is communication scholar-teacher, trained psychotherapist, and sincere devotee. Unique among chant leaders and spiritual teachers for his penetrating insight into human motivation, interaction, and personal growth, Kailash is the author/recording artist of Following Sound into Silence: Chanting Your Way Beyond Ego into Bliss (2008, Hay House).

Non-sectarian, intellectually satisfying, and exquisitely illustrated, this groundbreaking guide to devotional chanting is accompanied by a CD of 15 authentic mantras set to gorgeous music. This is the "one-stop resource" for chanters, "a beautifully designed and carefully written guide to Kirtan, Sound Yoga, and Mantra Practice" (David Newman/Durga Das). Steven Rosen, author of The Yoga of Kirtan, says that this book/CD "may be the standard work on this subject for years, if not centuries."
