This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das
explains:


Learning to chant the Hanuman Chalisa 

Working with addiction as a part of the spiritual path 

Developing the ability to stop hurting ourselves 

Looking within, not without, in order to do spiritual work in
all parts of our daily lives

Comparing Hanuman with the Holy Spirit 

Remembering that nothing lasts in this world

Relationships as a neurotic need rather than true, deep love

The universal experience of heartbreak and all situations as
impermanent 

Opening the heart, quieting the mind, and connecting to a
deeper place within ourselves 

Considering others and doing what we can to help 



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 develop the ability to stop hurting ourselves
because we have the soul. If we’re just hurting ourselves and
engaging in addictive, dangerous, destructive behavior, it’s like
we’re beating ourselves up. This program that’s running, this
self-hatred program that’s causing this behavior, it is spiritual
work to try to free yourself from that.” – Krishna Das
