Same here, man. To this day, I'm 45 and no one I know has heard of them. I could tell some people that Crispian Mills was the guy that sang the vocals to The Prodigy song Narayan, but what would be the point? Instead I keep "Tattva" and "Hey Dude" and "Govinda" to myself, as long ago music that has been forgotten, but that I will always remember.
I grew up in a very rural, Roman Catholic part of Ireland. I heard this song in my early teens in the 90's and was obsessed with it. In a way it helped change how I view God and the universe and introduced me to Eastern spirituality which I'll always be grateful for. :)
That's awesome! I grew up Protestant but after some years in an atheist and later pagan wilderness I came to worship God as Vishnu and His avatars Krsna, Narasingha, etc. I didn't know the song until recently though.
You might like Cornershop! I am obsessed with the sitar and tabla. I got to see Ravi Shankar in 2005 live at the Winspear in Edmonton. It was such a mystical experience.
Kula Shaker were massively berated by the music press at the time. 24 years later, I'm still listening to this but can't think of the last time I bought a music magazine.
@@samsondelighted I'm not so sure as by the time the album K was released, Crispian Mills was clearly on a path towards the regional form of Hinduism under which he was confirmed a year later.
Music press are narrow -minded. Even the cool music press like NME They were seen as 60s throwbacks, I imagine . However, the religion to which their music relates has always been there !
***** They weren't. They were Hare/Krishna Consciousness. I was the drummer for their previous, er, incarnation - Objects Of Desire - from which they sprang.
Hey @appy12345 I love this song too and will always love it, but I also hear that nowadays a white guys band singing in Hindi can be considered as cultural appropriation. If i may ask, what's your perspective on the topic?
@@yawarnadeem3090no it’s not an indian hindu song because the person singing it is white british and Hinduism is not exclusively reserved for Indians. You could have not mentioned your ethnicity or religion and it would have still been a positive comment.
@@explorerelka full import of what? That is superstition. The content of the sholokas are impoprtant not how one enounciates it. You can even recite english mantras as long as it reminds you of Brahman. Let's not be idiots
I went to India last january for the first time! I have been always fascinated about krishnas movement and hinduism culture... and this Music have always blown my mind! When the plane was landing on New Delhi i had this playing on my headphones... i never felt such energy! Then i went to Vrindavan to visit ISKCON Temple! Best experience ever! Thank you Kula Shaker for this masterpiece!
Never felt such energy? That was the flight attendant telling you that you were landing and that all personal electronic equipment should be turned off and stowed in the overhead locker...🤣
For those who want to know what this song means Govinda Jaya Jaya (Krishna, glory, glory) Gopala Jaya Jaya (Krishna, glory, glory) Radha ramana hari (God who's Radha's lover) Govinda Jaya Jaya (Krishna, glory, glory) Nrsingadeva Jaya Nrsingadeva (Krishna, glory, Krishna) ~Nrsingadeva is kinda like an other version of Krishna, like Krishna rage state~ Gaura Gaura Gaura Hari (Fair, fair, fair god) Prabhupda, Govindam (Respect for Krishna) ~Prabhupda is kinda like showing respect for a divination, like devotion~
Narashimha (Nrsingadeva as mentioned) is the 4th incarnation of Lord Vishnu, part Lion part Human. It was done to go around a boon granted to the demon Hiranya Kashyapu who asked for death at hands of "neither human nor animal" as one of the conditions in a boon as an alternate to immortality. The 10 incarnations or Avatars are described here: www.hinduismfacts.org/dashavatar/
Still sounds good after all this year's. It's hard to believe this memorable track is nearly a quarter of a century old. The band's impact at the time was so strong that Noel Gallagher called them "the greatest band in the world". "K" truly stood out with its topnotch songwriting and the skilled use of Indian music not heard since The Beatles. What a time to be young and fully alive to revel in it all.
This is almost 30 years old. That is crazy. I remember it like it was yesterday. The 90s was an incredible time for British music. The variety of different styles. I love Kula Shaker and this song in particular. A lot of influence from the 60s in this one. Especially the guitar, with the Hendrix chord etc. Love it!
This reminds me of seeing Kula Shaker at the Viper Rooms as a young man, while on business in L.A. A beautiful English girl and I snogged in the crowd and I never saw her again. I took one of Quentin's plectrums from his mike stand as a keepsake and still have it today, 20 years on.
I saw them live a few years ago. A very good show. Crispin held the door open for me in the theatre as I am disabled . He is one of the nicest people in rock music.
He really is!! Myself and three other fans waited close to four hours in the snow for them in Glasgow 2016, literally couldn’t feel my feet and when he came down he was horrified we’d been waiting so long and got on to the security guard for not letting us wait inside the door. He apologised and said they’d been meditating for hours and didn’t think anyone would be waiting on them coming out!! 🤣🤣 Saw them a third time in Glasgow again 2023 and joked to his roadies saying “tell him his mad fans from Dundee are here and we’ve got a bus to catch can’t be waiting on him umming for five hours tonight” and low and behold he went and got the band straight away!! 😍🤣 They just get better and better in my opinion, been a fan since I was 10 and saw them in Dundee 1996 or 1997, was gutted when they disappeared and overjoyed when they reappeared!! Really hope they keep bringing out album after album and don’t go anywhere again although songs like this are timeless, we can always come back to them!! 🙏🏼🥳
This is the type of song that you don't have to listen to everytime on tv, radio or online but you still remember it. I haven't listen to this song for years and years but i still memorized the lyrics. Amazing.
guess what . All great popular bands has attempted indian spiritual realms and they have come out creatively richer , mentally sharper and physically stronger. ALL INDIAN INFLUENCE AND MYSTIC POSITIVE AURAS AND REPARATIVE VIBES.
I was in a serious car car accident at age 22 girl racer in a ford fiesta called betsey and got out fully intact because I had this playing on tape. The only retrevial part was the radio tape player. It must be a lucky song. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Finally found this song! Heard this once on MTV when I was around 8 or 9 years old. Never got the title nor the artist but the tune and rhythm stuck and would sneakingly play in my head from time to time and somehow had a calming effect. Thanks for the upload!
heard this over the radio in Singapore when I was living there in the 90s.. couldn't remember the song title or artist but was always haunted by the melody .. thanks to "Google what's this song" and humming the basic melody.. I am now reunited with something that escaped me over 20 years ago! First time hearing it even more closely now, I appreciate it even more and I have to say, I love that bassline and female voicing..
Wow thats an awesome story always love the feeling you get when you finally discover a song that alluded one for so many years. Damn man glad you found this song, I'm of Hindu faith and this song is actually a Hindu prayer. I'm from South Africa and back in 1996 my older brother bought this album and I love it too this day. Still own it
@@CMONCMON007 Thanks for taking the time to share your story and the info about the song man! I was sure I wasn't the only one who appreciated this treasure!
This, and indeed the entire album deserves way more views than it has. I got this when it came out in the 90s. Was sensational then. Is still sensational.
Just look at the devotion that the band has for the higher power ..I am roman catholic and yet it takes me closer to God ...he sings with such devotion
JAY GOVINDA!!! JAY NRISIMHA DEVA JAY NRISIMHA DEVA!!! SRIMATI RADHARANI AND SRI KRSHNA BLESS FOREVER ALL HIS DEVOTES IN ALL THE UNIVERSE SPECIALLY KULA SHAKER BAND!!!
+Jose Diola Glad to know you found it. Crispian and the boys had a hit with this song. When they were promoting this CD, I saw them in Union Square, San Francisco.
+Basil II Macedonia Yes, it doesn't have the thematic content or hackneyed story line that is typical for an American hit song. But then these guys are Brits (who generally still have some connection with India and Hinduism).
Nice to hear an orthodox Christian that believes Jesus is God respecting all facets of humanitys' beliefs worldwide. Good job fella! We are one people.
If you have ever sung along with this song you are blessed, you don't have to believe, just chanting the Supreme Lord's name the way he instructed his devotee Arjuna is enough. Peace and love to you all.
As a Hayley Mills lifelong fan can't believe I just found out about her son Crispian fronting this band! Hayley seems to have the typical "nutty" Hollywood life even though she didn't live there! But seems happy now. Love this band.
Still listening to this. First listened to this almost 5 years ago. Never gets old. Very beautiful song. Still makes me feel in awe about life in general whenever I hear it. Wished thered be more bands like this.
My very very very first concert at the age of 14, in 1995 ❤️ in 1995 autumn. They were first part of the presidents of the usa - remember " lump ". I remember when kula shaker began, it was just ... Wouaouh 😍😍😍 indescriptible for me 🎵🎶❤️😍🌟🌠🌠🌠🌟🌟
Just discovered these guys even though 80s & 90s were my "generation" of music. This song is moving and his vocals are epic just before the killer wah wah guitar solo. As a musician and singer I am humbled by the blending of Eastern and Western culture and music.
as an indian, something about this sounds familiar to the music that my ancestors would play on the tabla and sitar. how did this make its way to the west?
In 2003 at age 20 I went on an aeroplane for the first time from Newcastle to my new home in Verona, Italy... the whole experience of flying blew my mind but the icing on the cake was looking out the window as we flew over the alps with this track on my personal CD player and just seeing mountains for as far as the eye could see. It was a profound experience 🙏🏻
Was 10 years old when I saw this song that time there was channel v it was coming on that channel loved it straightaway and still love it today after 25 years of the song
Kula Shaker once did a gig in the Walthamstow Standard & unfortunately for them no bothered to watch them ( They came at 10.30pm) . The reason I remember this was my band was supporting them at 9.15 when the venue was still packed. A great gig for us ( encores , stage invaision) as well but a disaster for them . Anyway 4 months later their album goes straight in at Number One. Life is strange eh.
Thank you, Kula Shaker. I only just found you when my brother from Florida sent this song to me in Las Vegas. You’re awesome! I’d love to have a cuppa tea with you! (I drink coffee 😜)
Fantastic band. These for me were the greatest band of the 90's Brit era K came out of nowhere and I was amazed at how good the entire album was. . Them OCS, Suede and Blur. Reef were incredible too but more of a Rock band.
Came across them from growing up listening to random CDs from my Dad's CD collection..It's funny how now at 20 years old, I've gone back to listening to all their songs over everything else.. completely agree with the lad who mentioned they were timeless in the comments
This song has such sentimental value to me... grew up listening to this song... Listening to it today brings back memories of beautiful days spent with my maama who was a devotee, listening to the music, singing along and enjoying being in the peaceful and serene presence he always gave off. 4years now since he passed on. Jai Sri Krishna, I know he is at peace...
I was like HS when this first came out so it means 25 years ago? Yay! I found myself listening to this now because I read on Tiktok about Govinda and there I remembered Kula.Shaker made a song out of it.. aaaaaah 90s kid!
I first heard this song on a double CD compilation of British/UK alternative music around 1997/98 that I bought in a bargain at a local retailer named ‘ The Warehouse ‘ in Lower Hutt, Wellington, NZ in 1998 and while I was doing a night shift job I had the CD radio playing the music in the background. About 3am this song played echoing through and after hearing it? I was hooked. Has a really cool Indian sound and groove that I can’t get sick of. As for the band ‘ Kula Shaker ‘ very underrated and deserves more notice for its time.
Boston gig show at Avalon club still the best.Of course they are going to NYC or Los Angeles.We get to see the band in a great environment.Bostons too small for you ?Lol.Love these songs
Was 11 yrs when I found this album at the tiny CD shop in a small town in Japan. Fell in love instantly. After 27 years this band's music is still shining.
finally after 15 years found this song. i found it very accidentaly. its not because the lyrics or meaning i like... but its just the rythm and the music im attracted to it. thanks.
Oh that's right because only an Indian can sing Indian music.... uggg so glad I was born when I was... this song is fantastic. Opened my eyes to what their religion was all about.
Back in the 90s, I was the only one in the class who love them. I didn't mind though.
You and me dude! Rock on..
I saw them two days ago in concert in Milan. Good concert!!!
You had good taste.
Same here mate think there album was called K wasn't it
Same here, man. To this day, I'm 45 and no one I know has heard of them. I could tell some people that Crispian Mills was the guy that sang the vocals to The Prodigy song Narayan, but what would be the point?
Instead I keep "Tattva" and "Hey Dude" and "Govinda" to myself, as long ago music that has been forgotten, but that I will always remember.
something was going on in Britain in the late 90s early 2000s. and it was beautiful. i so got what Kula Shakur was on about
yep and i'm guessing you were there my friend. Better times! ❤
@@AmIBovverredG they were :)
Early nighties. Mids were Britpop. End rap. Early nighties hung over from a crossover of rave and whatnot

What's that got to do with anything?
@@DaveTaste Well it's an Indian Hindu song and Hinduism is almost non-existent in Muslim Pakistan.

well said man x
Further proof of Gallagher's idiocy.
@The Triumph Yeah listen to "Kashmir" by Led Zep or "Believe" by Lenny Kravitz.
One of the most interesting and underrated bands of the last 25 years
The first album was absolutely and achingly brilliant. Everything on it was spot on and cool. And such energy!
I'm amazed this is the first time I've heard them. They should be a much more common name!
It was essentially the ego of Crispian Mills supported by a backing band that had next to no personality between them.
Everything that ever happened is underrated hey

As a Hayley Mills lifelong fan can't believe I just found out about her son Crispian fronting this band! Hayley seems to have the typical "nutty" Hollywood life even though she didn't live there! But seems happy now. Love this band.
Still listening to this. First listened to this almost 5 years ago. Never gets old. Very beautiful song. Still makes me feel in awe about life in general whenever I hear it. Wished thered be more bands like this.
Magnificent! I'm going to see them September 9th at Brighton Music Hall, oh yeah, saw them back in 1997, awesome show!!
Yes, great band, but underrated and timeless Vedic mantra ...who is happily listening in 2018 ? Greetings.
2023!
サマソニ最高でしたー！！！
So ethnic... So traditional... Awesome.... Too bad this band only few hit songs
Their entire catalog is spot-on! Not a bad track amongst them and there are more than a few!
My very very very first concert at the age of 14, in 1995 ❤️ in 1995 autumn. They were first part of the presidents of the usa - remember " lump ". I remember when kula shaker began, it was just ... Wouaouh 😍😍😍 indescriptible for me 🎵🎶❤️😍🌟🌠🌠🌠🌟🌟
Just discovered these guys even though 80s & 90s were my "generation" of music. This song is moving and his vocals are epic just before the killer wah wah guitar solo. As a musician and singer I am humbled by the blending of Eastern and Western culture and music.
as an indian, something about this sounds familiar to the music that my ancestors would play on the tabla and sitar. how did this make its way to the west?
In 2003 at age 20 I went on an aeroplane for the first time from Newcastle to my new home in Verona, Italy... the whole experience of flying blew my mind but the icing on the cake was looking out the window as we flew over the alps with this track on my personal CD player and just seeing mountains for as far as the eye could see. It was a profound experience 🙏🏻
Over 400 dislikes ? How can you not love this iconic song and fantastic album ?
Whoever disliked this are uncultured pigs.
Fanatics
Was 10 years old when I saw this song that time there was channel v it was coming on that channel loved it straightaway and still love it today after 25 years of the song
Same here, my dad used to love this song on Channel V.
Seeing them tomorrow again for the first time since Glastonbury 97
Hey, I hope they were just as good as they were at glasto 97, I was there too and remember dancing like a loon with a huge candle.
Govinda Jaya Jaya
Gopala Jaya Jaya
Radha Ramana Hari
Govinda Jaya Jaya
Literal meaning:
Govinda (Krishna, the Divine Cowherd), Glory, Glory
Gopala (Krishna, Finder of cows), Glory, Glory
Radha Ramana Hari (The Divine Mother, spouse of Krishna), Glory, Glory
Govinda, Victory, Victory
Gutzan oops. For more than two decadedes I always thought he said Mata Hari (the sun). Thanks!
Kula Shaker once did a gig in the Walthamstow Standard & unfortunately for them no bothered to watch them ( They came at 10.30pm) . The reason I remember this was my band was supporting them at 9.15 when the venue was still packed. A great gig for us ( encores , stage invaision) as well but a disaster for them . Anyway 4 months later their album goes straight in at Number One. Life is strange eh.
I want the 90's back!! This song was actually quite good!!
+Marite Rossi the 90s rehashed the 60s so you could wish them back
Thank you, Kula Shaker. I only just found you when my brother from Florida sent this song to me in Las Vegas. You’re awesome! I’d love to have a cuppa tea with you! (I drink coffee 😜)
Terrific music, extraordinary vocal. Sorry for the band, lost in oblivion without getting what they deserved.
They've just brought out a new album.
touring later this year in uk
We're gonna be supporting them! Totally psyched!
Rudy Warman & The Heavy Weather just saw you guys at The Forum and was thoroughly impressed. 🤗
thats what happens when you make comments praising the nazis
En noviembre 2022 los tendremos en Concepción - Chile
Fantastic band. These for me were the greatest band of the 90's Brit era
K came out of nowhere and I was amazed at how good the entire album was.
. Them OCS, Suede and Blur. Reef were incredible too but more of a Rock band.
Came across them from growing up listening to random CDs from my Dad's CD collection..It's funny how now at 20 years old, I've gone back to listening to all their songs over everything else.. completely agree with the lad who mentioned they were timeless in the comments
the great lost band, the tragedy is so few have heard them,
+Clive Foston Very underrated.
+Clive Foston Not lost, comeback tour starts in November with new album.Enjoy!
+Ged Rooney ,That's fantastic thanks for the info!!!
Welcome!
If they were to rise up again at this era, they'd be accused of cultural appropriation.
Please update this gem with a 4K scan too!
This song has such sentimental value to me... grew up listening to this song... Listening to it today brings back memories of beautiful days spent with my maama who was a devotee, listening to the music, singing along and enjoying being in the peaceful and serene presence he always gave off. 4years now since he passed on. Jai Sri Krishna, I know he is at peace...

I was like HS when this first came out so it means 25 years ago? Yay! I found myself listening to this now because I read on Tiktok about Govinda and there I remembered Kula.Shaker made a song out of it.. aaaaaah 90s kid!
Still Audio bliss - and a guitar tone that stands back for non one. How about some HD quali reboots - remasters in Hi-Definition of these videos ? ;))
Greetings from India,Kula shaker does an amazing job of explaining who Lord Krishna is, Love this song and group! Great video -- Best wishes!
Some bands sometimes just get it right first time. Their first album is still as fresh and exciting as it was yesterday in 1996.
It's heart wrenching to see that Kulashaker has only 19k subs . What's this world on too . Underated beyond words ....
Woke up this morning with this song in my head. That's how legendary it still is 25 years later.
That’s how I am here, too
These and cast were the most underated bands during the Britpop era...
I first heard this song on a double CD compilation of British/UK alternative music around 1997/98 that I bought in a bargain at a local retailer named ‘ The Warehouse ‘ in Lower Hutt, Wellington, NZ in 1998 and while I was doing a night shift job I had the CD radio playing the music in the background. About 3am this song played echoing through and after hearing it? I was hooked. Has a really cool Indian sound and groove that I can’t get sick of. As for the band ‘ Kula Shaker ‘ very underrated and deserves more notice for its time.
Krishna! This is so lovely.
Boston gig show at Avalon club still the best.Of course they are going to NYC or Los Angeles.We get to see the band in a great environment.Bostons too small for you ?Lol.Love these songs
Only just discovering this band. My partner saw them when he was 15 and always talked about them. Wish I listened.
Krishna still listens to it everyday. He loves it ❤
Was 11 yrs when I found this album at the tiny CD shop in a small town in Japan. Fell in love instantly. After 27 years this band's music is still shining.
Rediscovering this song again since its release.....it hits differently now.
finally after 15 years found this song. i found it very accidentaly. its not because the lyrics or meaning i like... but its just the rythm and the music im attracted to it. thanks.
Have seen many bands in my 75 years of life and this band is the top ten greatest bands
First time in the year 2000. Still goes on ... n 2018 still continues. Gr8 band kula shaker.
The bass-line and the guitar solo are legend. Love it!!!!
I saw these in Amsterdam in 97, amazing and I still love em xx. Badly under rated xx
Imagine how much criticism this would receive if released today!
Oh that's right because only an Indian can sing Indian music.... uggg so glad I was born when I was... this song is fantastic. Opened my eyes to what their religion was all about.
Um ..no, I prefer to use my imagination for something more positive thank you! 😂🎉❤
