“When you love one person unconditionally, you love all beings unconditionally. There is no middle ground. Unconditional love is the state of oneness — the non-dual state of all one, as Maharaj-ji used to say, all one, sub-ek.” – Krishna Das
This week on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das holds a talk on:
- Freeing ourselves from abusive situations
- Finding love and support from people in similar circumstances
- Loving from our soul and being unconditional
- Letting other people be themselves
- Understanding our parents as their own people with their own issues
- Having an appreciation for being alive
- Creating boundaries when necessary
- All the negativity that can come from hatred and anger
- Working on our own reactivity
- Psychedelics as a pathway to unconditional love
- Making positive karmas for ourselves and doing our practices
“If you get caught in reacting, that’s your problem, not theirs. Even though we may be angry at them, even though they may have done things that hurt us in many different ways, they are allowed to be who they are. It’s up to us to clean our hearts of the reaction, the betrayal, and all the hurt and the pain.” – Krishna Das

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.
