Show Notes:
Keys to the Mind // Maharaj-ji & Siddhi Ma // India & The Bible
Opening the Q&A section of his February 11th, 2021 Hanging in the Heart Space virtual session, Krishna Das contemplates Maharaj-ji's statement, "I have the keys to the mind," and Siddha Ma's response, "It's all grace, but you have to act like it isn't." He then drops a rare story potentially connecting Maharaj-ji with Paramahansa Yogananda's mystical guru, Lahiri Mahasaya; before sharing a surrender-themed encounter with Maharaj-ji and The Bible in India.
"Meditation is chanting, and chanting is meditation. It's sneaky because when you sit down to meditate you get very serious. But when you chant you don't have any of that heavy egoist overlay. You just chant, and pay attention, and the chant keeps bringing you back when you're gone-that's meditation." - Krishna Das
Dealing With Loneliness // Maharaj-ji's Darshan (19:30)
Krishna Das answers a question pertinent to our current times: how to deal with loneliness? Outlining the subtle, yet powerful distinction between 'lonely' and 'alone,' he shares how spiritual practice can save us from 'being devoured by our minds.' Prompted to describe Maharaj-ji's darshan, Krishna Das depicts his immense sweetness and beyond-the-body presence while sharing a hilarious story of offering him apples in India.
"If you imagine in your heart of hearts what it is you want to feel-what would be the feeling that is #1, the feeling you long for, whatever you want to call it-that's what it was like with Maharaj-ji." - Krishna Das
Ramayana Ektara Bhajan // 'Hey Mata Durga' Kirtan (37:42)
Krishna Das shares a story from the Hindu Epic, The Ramayana, before offering on Ektara (an Indian one-stringed instrument) the same devotional bhajan/prayer that Sita sang to The Goddess to express her love for Ram.
"Sita looks down from her bedroom window and she sees Ram for the first time and completely falls in love with him. This is like the soul getting a glimpse of the Supreme Soul. After that, the soul only wants to merge with the Supreme Being." - Krishna Das

I follow these men that walked with Maharajji; Krishna Das, Ram Dass, and Ragu. I listen to them all the time, so for me Maharajji is my guru too. Shri Ram, jai Ram, jai, jai Ram. 🙏
Same here, amen...
🙏🙏🙏
Maharaj ji was God element
I learn and consume Maharaj through these stories too
Just right now i am coming back from Maharaj ji's church lane house, I stayed there for around an hour
I take refuge in the fact that Maharajji said chanting Ram, even if I'm not feeling worthy or devoted, will accomplish everything
Thank you for these wonderful stories and the beautiful chant 🙏
This never gets old
🙏💙🌻
Not really 😋🥰🥰
Very soulful Krishna Das ji, i can sit and listen to you discussing about Maharaj ji whole day and night
One feels Maharaj Ji Baba Neeb Karori the moment Krishna Das starts talking in his soul full of voice. I can feel his melted heart. He can cry anytime talking of Maharaj ji. His love is soooo visible. 💖💖💖

Just be here now
Wow that’s crazy when you close your eyes to remember him I can feel the energy of that moment as you are thinking of him. It’s as if that moment is eternal and it’s energy can never diminish. And it’s also a very sweet energy I never understood what a sweet energy could feel like but now I’m kinda getting the feel of it.
Ram ram
Thank you for sharing!
Ramayan story beautifully narrated.
One correction - the condition of svayamvara was to string the bow, not break it.
The bow of Shiva used to be worshipped in the palace with reverence, Janaka would not want anyone breaking it even as a challenge..
Shriram when he bent the bow to string it, by his strength, the bow broke !
And then Parashuram appeared in anger to avenge the disrespect to Shiva's bow ! and the leela of his garvaharan - (taming of ego/arrogance) happened 😊
Nice!
Lovely🦋❤
You are real I love that
K.D. on fire here . Thank you , as always xx
Ahhhhhhhh sooooooooo
The best part, i just want to listen, thats all, just sweet
That instrument 😍 been wanting him to play that!
19:37 it is true we look for these pleasure buttons all the time to avoid being eaten by our thoughts, and stop being lost in thought even if it’s just for minutes
3:20 it’s all Grace but you have to act as if it isn’t Maharishi
12:33 He Used To Talk About Jesus / Corinthians / Grace & Surrender
Kd is taking about this passage.
Corinthians 12:7-9: And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.
5:14
"I" decide to sit down and meditate. The thoughts didn't listen to "me".
@ 14:10 - In order to save me from the abundance of revelations -- When I was Born and through my youth it would have been way to much for me to understand comprehend or absorb the Truth so the Lord put a thorn in my side to dampen or attenuate the revelations.
14:30 my Grace is sufficient for you. - pretty straight forward.
14:37 My strength is made perfect in your weakness ---- Divinity will Shine forth as 'you' or Ego surrenders
19:10
I find it interesting that the comments section from my cellphone has been blocked,ONLY ON YOUR WEBSITE,s.
