Ep. 132 – Peaceful Coexistence with Krishna Das and Nina Rao

Reflecting on our ability to peacefully coexist, Nina Rao and Krishna Das join Chris Grosso to talk politics, practice, and more. This week, Chris, Krishna Das, and Nina all converge upon: Maharaj-ji’s response to being visited by politicians Keeping the heart calm and open regardless of what is happening around us Recognizing everyone as a part of our own selves Coexisting with all beings, human and non-human Living out our karma and doing the best can to not harm anyone Considering feelings about the upcoming election How it took returning to the west for Nina to connect to devotional practice Finding a way to unlock the love that lives within us Connecting to the guru even after they have left the body The ways we are born programmed by our culture, parents, etc. Chris’ experience with Ketamine therapy for his mental health Chanting as self releasing rather than self expressing 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. 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.
