Krishna Das Returns to Vienna

Many of you know and appreciate him, the "chant master of American yoga," as the New York Times once called him. For many years, he has been giving concerts, workshops, and kirtans all over the world.

Krishna Das – born in New York – dedicated his early years as a musician more to jazz, blues, and rock 'n' roll. In the 1970s, he went to India to meet his guru, Neem Karoli Baba. This event had a profound impact on him, and upon his return to America, he began offering kirtans.

In doing so, he developed his own style by merging traditional kirtan with Western sensibilities of harmony and rhythm. The man with the harmonium and the earthy voice, along with his charismatic presence, fills concert halls around the world every year. Join us, immerse yourself, and let Krishna Das and the magic of the mantras touch you – from deep silence to joy and back to the depths of being.

KD (pronounced KeDi) – as he is called in his circles and by his friends – last performed in Vienna two years ago and will be back on June 22, 2026. We look forward to you seizing the opportunity to be there.

“Chanting breaks down the difference between the inside and the outside. It’s about having a heart that never shuts down, that nothing can shut down.”
