At the International New Age Trade Show (INATS), New Age Retailer Magazine selected Kailash’s Following Sound into Silence for “Best of Show” honors!

In Following Sound into Silence: Chanting Your Way Beyond Ego into Bliss, Kailash (Kurt A. Bruder, Ph.D., M.Ed.) urges readers to take up chanting as an authentic and effective spiritual practice. Although chanting is an ancient spiritual tool, it is well suited to our contemporary lifestyles. No generation before us has had to contend with the onslaught of voices clamoring for our attention, the chaos of distractions vying for our imaginations and allegiance, or the flood of information that is our daily lot.  Kailash shows how chanting, both alone and with others, can quiet and stabilize our minds, expand our hearts, elevate our emotions, and reduce our self-centeredness...yielding direct, sustained experience of the Divine.

Accompanied by a companion CD featuring Kailash's extraordinary chanting, Following Sound into Silence demonstrates the potency of this practice in a presentation as profoundly moving as it is eminently practical. You'll understand why people across centuries and around the world have employed chanting as their principal resource for cultivating well being, personal transformation, and spiritual evolution.

Following Sound Into Silence: Chanting Your Way Beyond Ego into Bliss (Audio CD):
Kailash (Kurt A. Bruder, Ph.D., M.Ed.) believes that devotional chanting is a reliable tool that we can use to reduce our internal chatter, simplifying our mindstream from the usual (but overwhelming) chaos of thoughts, memories, feelings, and "to-do"s that plague our awareness and rob us of peace. More than this, because the content of our chanting is the very Sound Form of the Supreme, we provide our consciousness with something truly worthwhile to think, feel, and (ultimately) be.

This CD features Kailash chanting 15 powerful mantras. Each is arranged and produced to retain the purity and intensity of feeling of traditional mantras, to provide support for listeners who want to chant along, and to make them as attractive as possible to a contemporary Western audience. You've never heard anything quite like this CD before. Its beauty is matched only by the transforming quality of devotion that it promotes in the listener.

LIVE
Kailash's second CD features many of the chants heard during his kirtan events that are not included in his first CD, Sincerity. It even includes Kailash's rendition of Message in a Bottle (a favorite with many audience members!).

Drawing upon two principal streams in Kailash's spiritual lineage, tantric Hinduism and Buddhism, these mantras provide lush soundscapes in which our hearts and minds may freely travel.

As Kailash says, "A mantra is a path to the Perfection that it represents. Each repetition is a step toward stable residence in that very Perfection."

The offerings on this CD are valuable resources for your journey to a version of yourself that is more consistent with your Chosen Ideal, and more capable of expressing the Radiant Care and Awareness that is our Essential Nature.

SINCERITY
These chants, which find their inspiration in the Hindu, Buddhist and Christian wisdom traditions, are vehicles for the expression of devotion to Source. Using the very breath of life to direct and expand attention and affection toward the Infinite is a profound spiritual technology for escaping the petty ego-prison that we've unwittingly built for ourselves.
Kailash's guru, Bhagavan Das, says: "This is the drama that we're creating through our desires. You get what you want." Love is an impulse that demands our closeness to the Beloved. We have the opportunity to follow our attachment into Transcendence. We tend to take on the characteristics of those with whom we keep company, especially those we love. Since we inevitably become what we love, we would do well to aim high with love.

Chanting the Divine Names, singing love songs to our Highest Ideals, helps us to align our hearts and minds with the Beloved. It is a simple way to elevate the quality of our interior experience by replacing the overwhelming traffic of thoughts and feelings with a single, beautiful and inspiring Focus. In chant, we may discover a way to forget ourselves happy!
