On Door of Faith, Krishna Das departs from call-and-response (kirtan) style to offer a cycle of solo prayers and bhajans.  Intimate and profound, the deep spiritual longing and presence conveyed by these tracks bring the listener into the very heart of devotional practice in a most remarkable and generous way.

Like Breath of the Heart, Door of Faith was produced by the legendary Rick Rubin, this time in his home studio.  Known not only for his seminal rap and rock recordings, but also for his recent definitive work with Neil Diamond and the late Johnny Cash, Rubin is deservedly famous for his ability to capture the essence of an artist's expression: there is nothing extraneous here.  Mostly, it's Krishna Das' weathered, sonorous voice and his harmonium, joined here and there by instrumental tracings-western strings, horns, and keyboards, and Benjy Wertheimer's eastern esraj.  Other veterans of KD's previous recordings include Lili Haydn, John McDowell and Benmont Tench.  A duet with daughter, Janaki on "Mere Gurudev" is a most tender invocation.

Door of Faith is an enhanced CD, featuring a 7-minute film that includes footage of the recording process, a conversation with Ram Dass and commentary by Krishna Das.
