The Krishna Das Pilgrim Heart Hour features Krishna Das’ no-nonsense take on everyday struggles for finding balance on the spiritual path. Through the honesty, humility and humor of his own personal experiences, he points to the possibility of navigating life’s trials with a true inner yearning for truth. His own practice of kirtan or chant is the well stone of his ability to share from his spiritual heart. As KD says, “Love is a disease - we catch it from those who have it.”© Be Here Now Network Hinduism Music Spirituality

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 DasAbout 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.

All I did was distribute the prasad. I would give out this water, the nectar from the feet of the Goddess. The temple was right next to Maharaj-ji’s room. I’d be sitting there blah all day, and for some reason I would look up and he’d be peeking at me through the window. The minute I’d look up, he’d close the window. He did it every day. It was so funny.” –Krishna DasSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  • Ep. 195 – Descent into the Heartspace

    Ep. 195 – Descent into the Heartspace
    Aug 5 2026

    Enjoy this descent into the heartspace where Krishna Das connects us to our true nature of pure awareness and unity with God.

    This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das explores:

    • Different translations of the Ramayana
    • Bhakti and repetition of the name as one of the easiest paths to follow
    • Descending deeply into the mind and heart
    • How Maharaj-ji instructed Krishna Das to wear red
    • Union with god alongside worldly enjoyments
    • Remembering to orient ourselves to our true nature
    • Watching the breath, separating breathing from awareness of breathing

    “The eye receives information from the outside world. But, the eye has no consciousness—it’s a physical thing. What has consciousness is our true nature, which is aware of all the sense input that comes in. Who we truly are underneath all our thoughts, emotions, objects of experience, we are that awareness.” –Krishna Das
