"Sanskrit is considered to be a revealed language. What that means is that the sound is actually the sound form of the Divine. It's called 'The Name.' So, these Names, these sounds, are actually the form of that blissful reality that we all are already, the love that lives within us." – Krishna Das
In this episode, Krishna Das dives into:
- A flowing "Hare Ram / Sita Ram" chant on harmonium to kick off the episode
- Sanskrit mantras as the Divine Names that help us uncover the love that lives within us
- Experiencing Maharaj-ji, not as something separate, but as the love that lives within us
- Cultivating our inner strength in order to stay strong, open, and extend our heart to the suffering of the world
- The transformational effects of psychedelics on KD's life, and Maharaj-ji's advice around them
- An uplifting Hanuman Chalisa (4 A.M. Chalisa), as well as a resonant chant to Lord Shiva to close out the podcast

Willpower is what directs our energy. Many of us have issues with directing our energy and going after things. We usually use willpower to go towards things we desire or to steer away from the things we think might hurt us. This, however, is actually just reactive. It is not really conscious willpower. Krishna Das says that developing willpower is a part of becoming more aware and taking accountability for all of our actions. Practice definitely helps us open up and find our inner strength.
“Every time we come back from dreamland to the chant or the mantra or to our breath, or whatever our object of concentration is, we recommit to being with the mantra, to listening to the mantra, to hearing the mantra. That is an act of will.” – Krishna Das

In this Hanging in the Heart Space session originally live-streamed on April 29th, 2021, Krishna Das shares personal stories and answers questions around what it means to meet a Saint in a dream, how to work with attachment as a parent, what it was like meeting Maharaj-ji's recently passed son Dharm Narayan Sharma, why he doesn't always listen to Ram Dass' relationship advice, how we can offer love to others through chanting, if it's possible to 'destroy' the ego, and how practice is like planting seeds of enlightenment. To close, he shares kirtan of Narayana/For Your Love, as well as the Hanuman Chalisa.
"There's no button to push to make the ego go away – that's what spiritual practice is for, that's what it's about. The names that we chant are the names of our true being, which is not separate from everybody else, which is the same as everybody else. The essence within us is the same essence that's in everybody. What's looking out of my eyes right this moment is the same thing that's looking out of your eyes." – Krishna Das
