"Love is what we are; we don't get it from somebody, we can't give it to anybody, we can't fall in it or fall out of it. Love is our true being."
~Krishna Das

Happy Monday beautiful hearts! Over the weekend I had the immense pleasure of attending a Krishna Das concert in Cleveland. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Krishna Das, he is an amazing spiritual seeker who began his journey back in the 60's.
From his website:
"Krishna Das met spiritual seeker Ram Dass; he traveled across the country with Ram Dass as his student, captivated by the stories of his recent trip to India where he had met the legendary guru Neem Karoli Baba, known to most as Maharaj-ji. Finally, following his heart, in August 1970, Krishna Das left behind his dreams of being a rock star and made his way to meet this remarkable Being. Basking in the love of Maharaj-ji in the three years that followed, KD’s heart was drawn to the practice of Bhakthi Yoga – the yoga of devotion and after two and a half years with Maharaj-ji, he returned to USA – alas, six months after his return, word came that Maharaj-ji had died.
“I will sing for you in the west” he had promised his beloved Guru in his own heart. This did not come easily. If you listen to KD in one of his many workshops or read his book ‘Chants of a Life Time’ you will know that it took almost 20 years for KD to sing with groups of people around the USA."
Being in his presence over the weekend was enlivening and peaceful all at the same time. If you have never tried chanting, I would highly suggest you try it just once in your life...it might just change your life. It quiets the mind. Soothes anxiety and rewires us to be more present.
May your Monday be full of song!
May You Sweetly Seek:)
In Gratitude,
Sarah
