From KD's website
Sharing his heart through music and chanting is the basis of Krishna Das' own spiritual work;his way of serving the Divine within himself and others.
In the winter of 1968, Krishna Das met Ram Dass, who had just returned from his first trip to India. After living and traveling with Ram Dass in the U.S., and hearing Ram Dass' many stories about Maharaj-ji, Krishna Das traveled to India, where he was blessed to meet and stay with this extraordinary guru.
While living in India for almost three years, Krishna Das' heart was especially drawn to the practice of Bhakti Yoga—the yoga of devotion. Fanning the flames of his inner longing, Maharaj-ji led him deeper and deeper into the practice of kirtan—chanting the Names of God. As an appointed pujari (priest) for the Durga temple in Maharaj-ji's ashram in the foothills of the Himalayas, Krishna Das immersed himself in the worship of the Divine Goddess.

The word Kirtan comes form the Sanskrit root "kirt" which means "to name, to communicate, to celebrate, to praise, to glorify." Kirtan is the calling out to God, or our higher purpose.
"
All divine potencies, powers and divine qualities are hidden in God's name. The deepest secret of Kirtan is that the 'Name Of God' IS God. For the Bhakta Yogi (one who follows the path of devotion), God and the Name of God are one and the same. Chanting the name of God sows the seeds of spiritual transformation deep within our consciousness, and begins to grow and blossom."-Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati

Krishna Das on the power of chant
“These names. the very fact that they don’t really mean anything specific in the conceptual mind level is actually where the power of the chant comes from.“These chants comes from a place in your own being that is your true nature. It’s a place that is deeper than your thinking mind.
“Chanting is a mystical yogic practice. And the mystical part of it is that we are chanting these names.
“What Ram Dass and I do more than anything is - what we share with people is our faith.
“There is that place within us that can survive, grow and flourish no matter what comes at us. This is what chanting is about.
“When we chant together, we get a couple of hours of feeling some other quality, some other possibility that you can do anything that you want to do. This is devotional. There are no rules.
“We are tricking ourselves to fall in love with ourselves by thinking that we are loving something outside of ourselves. That’s because psychologically we do not know how to be good to ourselves. We do not know how to love ourselves, it looks like it is outside our selves. But it only looks that way.
These are sound syllables that will help the mind calm down and pull you out of any anxieties or worries or business in your day and in your daily life.
It helps you understand that the script is not written. That the ending is not necessarily a sad ending. That the happiness is within us.
