Krishna Das offers his perspectives on selfless service, committed practice, and uncovering the presence that has always been within.
This time on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das discusses:
- Doing selfless service for others anytime and anywhere
- Keeping up with our practice in order to receive the fruits
- Asana and Pranayama to clean our energy channels and heal the body
- Uncovering the presence that already exists within us
- Guru devotion as a means to dissolve the separate self
“Service can be done anytime, anywhere. It doesn’t have to be your job, so to speak; it doesn’t have to be a big deal; it doesn’t have to make you money. Real service is learning how to treat other people with the same love and respect that we would like to be treated with. You can do that now. You don’t have to wait for permission, you don’t have to wait for inspiration.” –Krishna Das
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.
