Join Krishna Das & Friends for a rare intimate gathering at the Napilli Kai Beach Resort that serves as a Food Drive for the Maui Food Bank

Krishna Das and his Friends return to Maui to pay homage and perpetuate the renowned Ram Dass Legacy Thanksgiving Sunday Maui Satsang / Kirtan gatherings.

This year’s gathering will continue to serve as a Food Drive for the Maui Food Bank , as it has since 2006 when Ram Dass initiated the Thanksgiving Sunday Maui Satsang / Kirtan program at the then Studio Maui (2006 -2011), then moved the program to the Historic Makawao Union Church (2012 – 2018) and finally the Maui Arts and Cultural Center’s Castle Theater in 2019.

The program resumed after the Pandemic / Lahaina fires in it’s new home at the Napili Kai Beach Resort’s Aloha Pavilion, 2021 to current 2026.

This long standing Maui community gathering serves as a Food Drive for the Maui Food Bank and your generous organic canned / boxed food donations go a long way in supporting the Maui Food Bank’s mission of eliminating food insecurity for thousands of families within Maui County.

Participants are encouraged to bring their generous organic boxed or canned food donations that are collected in the Maui Food Bank Food Bins the next day.

Few figures in modern spirituality, particularly in the West, have impacted the hearts and minds of contemporary seekers as Krishna Das has.

A devotee of the North Indian Saint, Neem Karoli Baba (Maharajji), Krishna Das has played an enormous role in popularizing the traditional practice of kirtan in the West, and has evolved into an accessible teacher, although perhaps a reluctant one, and a spiritual friend to many along the way.

Layering traditional kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Krishna Das has been called the “Chant Master of American Yoga” (NYTimes).

With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das, known to friends, family, and fans as simply, “KD,” has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and temples and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling western chant artist of all time.

In a recording career spanning more than two decades, he has released 16 acclaimed full-length albums, his music serving as an easily approachable gateway to the devotional traditions of the East, and his voice serving as a conduit to the yearning that is the wellspring of all spiritual paths. His album ‘Live Ananda’ (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.

Hanuman Maui and Dassi’s Bhaktique will be on hand to share her latest Bhakti goods, Krishna Das published works and Be Here Now Wearables just in time for the gift giving Holiday Season.

All sales from Dassi’s Bhaktique go to support Hanuman Maui’s mission of perpetuating Ram Dass’ Maui Legacy, their community services and programs.
