How all things are accomplished through the repetition of the
name 

Navigating parental relationships and seeing our parents as
people instead of only parents

Taking responsibility to cleanse our hearts of betrayal,
hurt, and pain

Practicing seva (selfless service) and offering love to the
world around us

Holding grief with compassion and allowing ourselves to move
through it with care

Simplifying our practice: treating others the way we want to
be treated

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.

 “Our relationship with our parents can be very
difficult. We don’t know our parents as people; we only know them
as our parents. We don’t know how many times their hearts were
broken. We don’t know how their parents treated them. We don’t
know what they’ve gone through that made them into the person
they are now...When your parents lay a trip on you, if you get
caught in reacting, that's your problem, not theirs. They are
allowed to be who they are.” – Krishna Das
