In this soulful and deeply personal conversation, the world-renowned chant artist explores his journey from a depressed young man in New York to finding his spiritual path in India at the feet of the legendary guru Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaji).Krishna Das shares profound insights into the nature of happiness, the transformative power of chanting (Kirtan), and the painful yet necessary process of letting go. He recounts miraculous stories of his guru's "fierce grace" and explains how repetition of the "Name" serves as a doorway into one's true nature.👤 About the GuestKrishna Das is an American vocalist known for his performances of Hindu devotional music.
