In ultimate reality everyone is free. Right now we live in a time, Kali Yuga, which is a dark time where the light is being hidden, and I don't think it's stretching credulity at all to think that.
Ever wondered how a rock musician can transition into a spiritual guide? Meet Krishna Das, a Grammy-nominated artist who swapped his electric guitar for the harmonium. In this episode of 'Wolf In Tune', hosted by Richard 'Wolfie' Wolf, Krishna Das takes us on a journey from his early days in a rock band that would later become Blue Oyster Cult to his spiritual awakening in India.
His life took a profound turn when he met the legendary teacher Ram Dass and his guru, Maharaj-ji. Imagine going from playing in smoky clubs to chanting divine names in serene temples. That’s the transformation Krishna Das shares with us. Krishna Das opens up about his years with Ram Dass and Maharaj-ji, including some eye-opening stories like when Ram Dass introduced his guru to LSD.
He delves into the roots of compassion, the quest for inner freedom, and the vital role of consistent practice. Ever thought about the power of chanting? Krishna Das explains how this simple act can elevate your spirit and bring a sense of peace that words alone can't describe. He also touches on the limitations of music in achieving lasting change, reminding us that true spiritual growth requires effort and dedication.
Richard and Krishna Das explore the similarities and differences between chanting and other mindfulness practices. They discuss how music can be a tool for self-transcendence but also acknowledge its boundaries. Whether you’re a musician seeking deeper meaning or someone curious about the spiritual side of life, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt stories that resonate on multiple levels. So, if you’re looking to understand how music and spirituality intertwine, tune into this episode.
It’s a harmonious blend of personal anecdotes, spiritual wisdom, and the transformative power of chanting.
