Pilgrim Heart with Krishna Das

This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das speaks about purifying the heart via connecting to Maharaj-ji and recognizing your awareness. "Maharaj-ji is like the sun, and I am just a fruit hanging on the tree. I ripen at my own rate according to the way the sun shines on me and my own karmas. It is up to him to keep my heart open and it is up to me to keep remembering him.” – Krishna Das Watch these full sessions live on the official Krishna Das channel: youtube.com/c/KrishnaDasMusic See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Speaking about chanting and meditation, Krishna Das helps us in navigating constricting systems and releasing childhood pain. “When you bring a practice into your life, it gives you something to come back to. Otherwise, we are just gone.” – Krishna Das Watch these full sessions live on the official Krishna Das channel: youtube.com/c/KrishnaDasMusic See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

To close, he shares kirtan of Narayana/For Your Love, as well as the Hanuman Chalisa. "There's no button to push to make the ego go away – that's what spiritual practice is for, that's what it's about.
