About the teacher

Craig Pruess

Craig Pruess was born in 1950 in the United States and has lived in Britain since 1973. His working life has ranged remarkably wide: record production for international artists, arrangements for Massive Attack and Def Leppard, and film soundtrack work among them.

Running alongside all of that is the devotional strand he is best known for here. The Sacred Chants recordings set Sanskrit mantra — to Shiva, to Devi, to Krishna — in arrangements built to carry the chant rather than decorate it, and they have become a fixture in yoga rooms and meditation halls far beyond India.

He works closely with the singer Ananda Vidyarthi on much of this material.
