Door of Faith is Krishna Das' first recording featuring original songs, invocations and Sanskrit prayers recorded with classical western instruments such as violin, cello, piano, trumpet, organ, acoustic guitar alongside traditional Indian instruments such as the esraj and harmonium. Produced by Rick Rubin (who also handled production duties on Krishna Das' last recording, the acclaimed Breath of the Heart), Door of Faith is an intimate soul portrait of a man connected with his inner spirit. It is transforming in its depth of devotion. Krishna Das' past four records formed a foundation that prepared him and his audience for this transcendent recording. While the call and response participation of the audience lent itself to the live emotion of the classic Kirtan setting, the Door Of Faith sessions were recorded in the utmost intimacy in Rick Rubin's home enabling Krishna Das to create a personal space where he could forget about the recording process and connect with his personal God. In the end Door of Faith is not only Krishna Das' most personal recording to date but also a record that allows the listener into their own personal space whether practicing yoga, meditating or decompressing from the stress of the work-a-day world. Truly Door of Faith is a milestone recording that is also a panacea for our time. Door Of Faith is an enhanced CD featuring a seven minute film including a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the recording session and candid footage of Krishna Das and Ram Dass in conversation.
