This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das holds a talk on:


The experience and manifestation of enlightened beings

Maharaj-ji’s guidance on chanting and repeating the name of
God

Cleaning our hearts so that there is room for Maharaj-ji

Recognizing everything as grace but still continuing to do
our practice

Understanding what a real guru is versus what a disciple is

Defining the soul as the way we can experience consciousness

Becoming a pure servant to the guru through seeing them in
everyone

Training our minds to think of others instead of only
ourselves

Being aware of what we are singing when chanting so that our
practice is truly devotional

Finding light in the darkest moments



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.

“The experience of all enlightened beings is all the same but the
manifestation can be very different. Some sit up in a cave and
nobody ever sees them and they do all their work silently,
invisibly, from wherever they are. Others are more
visible.” – Krishna Das
