    This week, Krishna Das responds to questions on:

    The concept of Sub Ek, or, all oneMaking peace with the many paths to GodHow relationships help us see where we need to work on ourselvesHaving compassion for ourselves so we can extend kindness to othersRecognizing the impact of our actions on the worldFreewill versus the karmic seeds that we are born withDealing with discomfort instead of seeking out pleasureChoosing whichever practice feels right to usBeing open to whatever arises during our practiceThe subtle transformations that occur throughout our spiritual journey

    “If we’re hard on ourselves, if we don’t have kindness and compassion for our own selves and our own stuff, we really can’t be kind for other people. We can pretend to be kind, which is what most of us do, but real kindness comes from recognizing that we’re all in this together. We’re all here together in this world and all of our actions are very powerful.” – Krishna Das

    The experience and manifestation of enlightened beingsMaharaj-ji’s guidance on chanting and repeating the name of GodCleaning our hearts so that there is room for Maharaj-jiRecognizing everything as grace but still continuing to do our practiceUnderstanding what a real guru is versus what a disciple isDefining the soul as the way we can experience consciousnessBecoming a pure servant to the guru through seeing them in everyoneTraining our minds to think of others instead of only ourselvesBeing aware of what we are singing when chanting so that our practice is truly devotionalFinding light in the darkest moments

    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.

    “The experience of all enlightened beings is all the same but the manifestation can be very different. Some sit up in a cave and nobody ever sees them and they do all their work silently, invisibly, from wherever they are. Others are more visible.” – Krishna Das

I believe that Maharaj-ji is the whole universe and Maharaj-ji is that love. The love is where I want to be. I don’t need to know anything more than that.” – Krishna Das

    “Maharaj-ji said, he would point to us, he said ‘all one’. All paths lead to the same goal, the same place. That’s what I believe. So I feel completely at ease repeating any of the names of God. I am an all-inclusive repeater. It doesn’t matter to me; I like Hanuman, but I feel very close to Jesus also. For me, it’s not a problem because I believe they are all the names of that One.” – Krishna Das

    “There is nothing wrong with love. The spiritual path is nothing but love. Relationships can really show you where your work has to be done and what work you have to do. Because you will see that they’ll be times when that beautiful romantic relationship looks like and feels like shit and torture. I guarantee it. Sooner or later. It may not last, but you’re going to go through everything in the relationship if you are really in relationship and you’re being honest with yourself and the other person. Relationships are wonderful opportunities to do a lot of work on ourselves.” – Krishna Das
