Arundhati Devi has been leading kirtans in India and the western world since the 1960s, and Radha-Krishna Journey of Love is her debut album. Chanting is the great love of her life, and the chants on this CD express her many years of this practice. The music is at times meditative, at times ecstatic. Rather than doing short chants, on this CD Arundhati has engaged in very long versions of the chants in order to really bring the listerners deep within their own hearts. <a href="https://www.last
