Weekend Classic: Krishna Das will be leading a church filled with extremely delighted people Saturday night in New York, so this seems like a good time to showcase him. In the past year, he’s been nominated for a Grammy — in a gazillion years, would you think that Hindu chanting could get recognition like that? — and raised four times more money than he requested to make his next CD. But the Saturday appearance? My bet: same as it ever was. There may be tickets left; click here. I have two extras. Write me if you’d like to buy them.
1968. I was getting straight As in my final year at Harvard. I had a book contract with The Viking Press. My girlfriend was smoking hot.

Hi Jesse. Nice article. I, too, am a KD devoté. I had no idea you were at Harvard at the same time as Richard Alpert. Those must have been heady days. I’ll look for you at a kirtan someday soon.
Warmest wishes,
