3.01 A Conversation with Krishna Das: Love Everyone. Serve Everyone. Remember God.
“It is better to see God in everything than to try to figure it out.”- Neem Karoli Baba
Powered by RedCircle
The legendary kirtan* singer, Krishna Das, joins us today as we discuss the hinderances we face in carrying out his guru’s teachings. His guru, Neem Karoli Baba, taught above all to love everyone, to serve everyone, and to remember God. How can we love ourselves if we think we are worthless? How can we remember God in this crazy world? Krishna Das answers ours questions, and graces our podcast with his chanting of Govinda Hare Gopal Hare.
Also discussed today: Ram Dass, living from the heart, Sri Siddhi Ma, drug addiction, dreams, and chanting.
*Note: Kirtan is a practice of bhakti yoga (devotional yoga) that uses call and repeat, reciting or praising through song / chantings an aspect of divinity.
