Hare Krishna! is the true story of an unexpected, prolific, and controversial revolutionary.

The new Mayapuris Single “Nityananda” Click here for the link
Check the video.
Short Description:
The Mayapuris new Single, ‘Nityananda’, blends the ancient village with the classical orchestra, a symphony of sound that straddles the musical traditions of the eastern and western worlds. The composition is modern, harmonic and layered, the instrumentation from a previous era, but the sentiment is timeless.
