The Krishna Das Pilgrim Heart Hour features Krishna Das’ no-nonsense take on everyday struggles for finding balance on the spiritual path. Through the honesty, humility and humor of his own personal experiences, he points to the possibility of navigating life’s trials with a true inner yearning for truth. His own practice of kirtan or chant is the well stone of his ability to share from his spiritual heart. As KD says, “Love is a disease - we catch it from those who have it.”

One of my favorite podcasts! The wisdom and teachings that Krishna Das shares are more relevant now than ever, and there are valuable takeaways in each episode. Not to mention his music isn’t half bad either! ;) One of the many treasures found on the BeHereNow Network. Thank you KD for sharing your experiences and insights with so much honesty and openness

I love KD’s podcast and his open-hearted sharing of his life experience. His lectures and q and a sessions are chock-full of wonderful stories about Maharajji and India, as well as other great teachings.
His chanting has changed my life in such a profound way and the portal to guru, God, and self is available to us all.
Thank you for being of service. Love you.

By year 10 of dealing with Parkinson’s Disease, the insomnia had drained me. Getting adequate sleep became within reach when I began playing the podcasts all night long: instead of following my anxious mind’s fears and drama, when I awake mid-night, I focus on the calm, wisdom, humor, and joy that’s there in the episodes. Thank you KD, thank you Sharon, thank you Be Here Now folk. You do honor to NKB.
