Ep. 03 - Chanting and Awareness

Krishna Das discusses the relationship between chanting and
awareness during the Heart of Devotion workshop at Princeton
University. Our natural state is one of awareness, but our thoughts
continuously pull us away from this presence. Chanting helps to
create a sense of spaciousness by offering the mind something to
focus on. Each repetition is like a seed of awareness that grows
throughout the process. The practice slowly dissolves the more
transient aspects of our personhood, and what’s left is the true
presence in which the spirit resides. See Privacy Policy at
