Srila Prabhupada's Kirtana Standards A Handbook

To help preserve a crucial part of Srila Prabhupada’s legacy, Srila Prabhupada’s disciple Jayadvaita Swami has released a new book, Srila Prabhupada’s Kirtana Standards: A Handbook. The handbook serves as a guide for performing kirtana following in Srila Prabhupada’s footsteps.
Recognizing the importance of both standards and flexibility, the book compiles and contextualizes teachings and instructions Srila Prabhupada gave and also speaks to the spiritual essence of kirtana. The book (256 pages) pulls together instructions from Srila Prabhupada’s books and letters, as well as the testimony of his direct disciples. Extensive footnotes document the history and standards given. Insights from various devotees known for their kirtana further enhance the book. The well-known kirtaniya Madhava Dasa has written the book’s Foreword.
The book answers many specific questions: “What about ‘Jaya Prabhupada’ and ‘Jaya Gurudeva’?” “What about mantras for Lord Rama?” At the same time, it discusses broader issues like purity, professionalism, and what to think about while chanting.
