Krishna Kant Shukla is a physicist, musician, poet, ecologist and educator.[4] Currently, he lives in Varanasi, Bharat(India) and travels all over the world, giving music concerts and lectures. He is a disciple of the late Pandit Kumar Gandharva and Ustaad Ali Akbar Khan. His concerts and interviews have been aired on National Television and Radio in India several times.[5] His interview on a U.S. radio station has been widely acclaimed.[6] His interview has also appeared on the front page of Times of India.[7]
His music concerts consist of singing the poetry of the self realized saints of India, such as Kabir, Gorakshanath, Tulsidas, Tyagaraja, Surdas, Meera on a base of Indian classical music. He has also translated these songs into English and reads out his translation before singing the song in the original vernacular.[8]
He has also extensively researched and recorded the folk songs of rural India, which are becoming extinct. Some of these songs belong to endangered living oral folk traditions that are over fourteen hundred years old. He also sings these songs.
His lectures on "Spiritual ecology" have also received wide acclaim in India and abroad.[9] This is a newly emerging field in the general area of Religion, Science and the Environment.
He is founding trustee and member of Saha Astitva Foundation,[10] a charitable organization that has built a model eco village and organic farm in a tribal area in Maharashtra. This project is the practical aspect of his work on Spiritual Ecology.
Dr. Krishna Kant Shukla is considered by many to be a national treasure. He is an empaneled member of Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), an arm of Ministry of External Affairs (India) Government of India. This entitles him officially to represent India and Indian culture as a Cultural Ambassador in foreign countries.
