“We’re always here and where we are, Mahraj-ji is. He said, ‘once I take your hand, I never let go, even when you let go of mine’. If we know about Maharaj-ji, if we’ve even heard of him, it means he has already taken our hand and we probably already let go a thousand times. He never lets go—life after life after life.” –Krishna Das

Different cultures call it by different names, they conceive of it differently, but underneath the thoughts it’s all the same…What Jesus realized is the same thing that the yogis in India realized, that the Zen Buddhists, Sufis, Muslims realized. They don’t get stuck in the difference of the forms. It’s just names; they’re all the names of the same thing which is our own true nature.” –Krishna Das

Ep. 192 – From Turmoil to Tenderness: Lessons in Devotion and Release
1 mei 2026 · 1 uur 53 min
In this extended Q&A special, Krishna Das offers powerful insights on navigating the turmoil of the human experience through devotional practice. Lees meer
This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das offers down-to-earth advice on:
The name of God as an echo of our own being
Tuning ourselves into the mantra
Replacing greed and anxiety with compassion and kindness
The delusion of self and other
Depression and falling into the trap of self-obsession
Building up the strength to let go through daily practice
Coming back home to ourselves, to our breath
The lingering connection we have to those we have lost
Looking for love within ourselves instead of outside ourselves
"Depression expresses itself in many different ways. In general, through regular practice, we obsess about ourselves less and less. Over time, how we feel retreats into the background. It’s no longer the most important thing in your life. You wake up ‘How am I now? How am I now?’. All day long, all life long, we are always judging how we feel. As time goes on, you don’t give a shit about your state of mind anymore. You’re here now, which is where we are.” –Krishna Das

What perpetuates negative karma
The spiritual law of cause and effect: how love generates love, anger generates anger, and intention shapes reality
Knowing that we are here in this incarnation for a reason
The many forms that spiritual practice can come in and finding what resonates with you
How to live selflessly and cultivate compassion, even when feeling lost or searching for meaning
"Every action, every thought, is a karma which has an effect at one point or another. Whatever it is right now is a result of the past of our own karmas, the karmas of the world, the karmas of our culture, our family, and our own particular personal stuff. That can't be changed because it is here, it's in the moment. What can be changed is how

Freeing ourselves from egoistic suffering
Grab a copy of KD’s favorite version of the Ramayana HERE!
“Finally, I blurted out, ‘Maharaj-ji, how can I serve you in America?’ Now come on, I wasn’t at all concerned with how I was going to serve. I was concerned with how I was going to live in America. He looked like he bit a pickle. That’s when he said, ‘Asking about service, then it’s not service. Just do what you want.’ So what did he mean…you can help people, you can do many things to help, but Maharaj-ji was saying that I had to figure out what I wanted and that would be a service to him.” –Krishna Das

People we know will get sick, suffer, and die, and we’re going to have to deal with those situations. We must find a way to live everyday in the best way we can.” –Krishna Das

"Grace is always here but we're too busy, too involved in our stuff, our thoughts and emotions. We're too identified with our negative emotions. From our side, it appears we lose contact with the grace. But, that's not the case. We just lose awareness of the presence. Maharaj-ji doesn't go, doesn't come, doesn't leave us. He never lets go. Once he takes your hand, he never lets go." – Krishna Das
This time on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das responds to questions about:
Hanuman’s favorite food and providing offerings from the heart
The ever-presence of Maharaj-ji and his grace, even when we are too busy to notice
The struggle to connect with others and find a community
Loving everyone, regardless of their actions or if we like/dislike them
A short retelling of the story of Hanuman’s birth
Working through addictions and the avoidance of pain
A memory of an almost-marriage in India, and how Maharaj-ji always saw right through Krishna Das’ ego
How it took Krishna Das 21 years to begin singing to Maharaj-ji as his primary practice
"The big community is human beings, that's our real community. Our work is to allow our hearts to open to all beings, even the ones we don't like, even the ones that are doing terrible things. It's not our job to judge—it's our job to love everyone as best we can, and that's hard enough." – Krishna Das

Calming down the mind via chanting
The magnetic force and energy within in India
Being in relationship with everything all the time
How real love does not come and go, and is not conditional
“We're in relationship to everything all the time. We have relationships with this table, the computer, the harmonium, the iPad, the floor, the walls, the house, with other people. We're in relationship to everything in the world all the time. When we're in a romantic relationship, we feel loved in the way we want to be loved and we think it's coming from the other person—it isn't. It's coming from our own hearts.” – Krishna Das
Check out the harmonium tutorials mentioned by Krishna das to learn about playing KD-style chords and chalisas!
“If you don't love yourself, then what? Where do you sit? Where do you rest? Your self, your true self, is not different than God, not different from the guru. If you don't learn to appreciate and accept all the different parts of yourself, you can't find rest inside." – Krishna Das

There's mantras for robbing banks, for finding buried treasure, for controlling snakes, for becoming president of the United States, but kirtan is the chanting of the names, which is only good for one thing, finding real love. It's not good for controlling other people, getting rich, anything except finding real love and connecting deeply to our own true nature” – Krishna Das

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
