This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das thoughtfully discusses:

  • What it means for the guru to have a key to our minds
  • Teachings from Siddhi Ma: knowing that everything is grace, but acting like it isn’t
  • Putting effort into loving everyone, serving everyone, and remembering God
  • The story of Maharaj-ji in England with a military devotee 
  • Our subjective reality as the product of our karmic cycle
  • Reconciling our faith with spiritual practice and seeing God in many forms
  • Krishna Das’ take on Buddhism and dealing with the afflictions of the mind
  • Using chanting and mantra to release shame and stay rooted in the present moment
  • Letting go of the stories we tell ourselves and reclaiming the power to change our lives

About Krishna Das:

Layering traditional Hindu kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Grammy nominee Krishna Das has been called yoga’s “rock star.” With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das – known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD – has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling chant artist of all time. His album ‘Live Ananda’ (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.

KD spent the late ’60s traveling across the country as a student of Ram Dass, and in August 1970, he finally made the journey to India, which led him to Ram Dass’ own beloved guru, Neem Karoli Baba, known to most as Maharaj-ji. Krishna Das now travels the world sharing his kirtan practice and wonderful stories of his life, of Maharaji-ji, of his life on the Path and discusses bringing chanting into our lives through retreats and workshops. To date, KD has released 15 well-received albums, most recently Trust in the Heart released in October 2017.

"We have to make our effort to open to that grace, calm the mind, repeat the name, think of others. Like Maharaj-ji said, ‘serve everyone, love everyone, remember God’. There's not one of those three things that I can do completely, and so, my effort is required to open to the space where that's reality." – Krishna Das
