Drawing on over five decades of devotional practice, Krishna Das offers down-to-earth spiritual guidance for beginners and seasoned seekers alike.

This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das gives wisdom on:

  • The miracles that happen around enlightened beings
  • How to cleanse and open the heart by letting go of old patterns
  • Krishna Das’ lifelong journey of awakening, surrender, and trusting life’s unfolding
  • Preparing the heart for prema-bhakti—the experience of real, unconditional love
  • Learning to trust yourself and discovering what’s truly right for your unique spiritual path
  • Moving away from the ego and going further into our true nature 
  • Seeing the guru in everyone and living with less fear, doubt, and mistrust
  • Remembering the essential truth of impermanence—nothing lasts forever, not even suffering

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.

“In those days, my heart was full of many things that the last 50 years have flushed out—sometimes, against my will. I didn’t want to let go of things, but you have to.” –Krishna Das
