The Hindu deity, Lord Hanuman, is the remover of obstacles and the "knower of all hearts." Offering praise to Hanuman through the "Hanuman Chalisa," a 40 stanza prayer that details the stories and accomplishments of Hanuman, can help one to achieve greater purity of mind and spirit. Flow of Grace, the 2CD set by Krishna Das offers different approaches to the Hanuman Chalisa. One is a rather simplistic singing of the Chalisa, which was designed by Krishna Das to help newcomers to this special devotional chant learn it with ease. In Flow of Grace, Krishna Das urges listeners to start by listening to the second disc in this set, which presents the Chalisa chanted slow, so that beginners can accurately learn the pronunciation. Returning to the first disc in Flow of Grace, Krishna Das provides several different renditions of the Hanuman Chalisa, from a straightforward kirtan-style manner of singing ("Shri Ram Chalisa") to a more contemporary Western approach ("Good Ole Chalisa"}. Krishna Das's Flow of Grace includes a chorus of backup singers, light rhythm, harmonium ambiance and some subtle strings.-
