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
