The Art of Kirtan | Krishna Das | Talks at Google

Krishna Das is a world-famous Grammy nominated kirtan singer. The New York Times has even referred to him as "the Pavarotti of kirtan". Check out his amazing music on his KZbin channel here: / krishnadasmusic
On April 18th Krishna Das stopped by Google to lead a call and response Kirtan concert. He spoke about his music and ended with his hands in prayer and a bowed head: “As they say in India, ‘Take it easy.’”

Depression is living in the past; anxiety is living in the future. When you meditate you're brining your awareness back to the present, turning off the "default ruminative mode". So meditation is not about God or after life but to save ourselves in this life! The place of true contentment and God is inside us!

He is so honest. I love what he said about having to sing with people for his own survival. I can see it in him, if he didn't he'd just take drugs again and be totally lost. What a nice man, and I'm so glad he found his way out of depression and abusing his body. So glad I found this video.

` If we know anything about a path at all, if we know that there might be a way to live in this world, in a good way, with an open heart and without fear, it`s only because of the great beings that have gone before us. And out of their love, out of their kindness, they left some footprints for us to follow. So in the same way that they wish for us, we wish that all beings everywhere, all of us , be safe, be happy, that all of us have good health and enough to eat. And may we all live in peace and at ease of heart , ease of heart, with whatever comes to us in life.` Krishna Das: "The Art of Kirtan"

[@cathydombrovske9235]
