Chanting with Krishna Das
The pews at the Church of St. Paul and St.Andrews, on 86th Street and West End Avenue, filled up as soon as the doors opened. Gentle folk, smiling and politely allowing one another to take choice seats near the make-shift stage, unhurriedly poured around the benches. Ms. Nina Rao, master organizer, vocalist, and Krishna Das's indispensable assistant, calmly assigned an abundance of volunteers their individual tasks. There was joyful excitement in the air.
