What You’ll Discover in These 6 Weeks
In this 6-week transformational course, Krishna Das will guide you through the skills and competencies you’ll need to release negative thoughts and return to kindness, compassion, and love.

Module 1: Meeting the Spiritual Path (May 13)

In this opening class, Krishna Das (KD) will share how his own moments of recognition started him on his spiritual path…

… and how YOU are likely becoming more and more aware of your own need and longing to find a more fulfilling way of living in this world.

Along the way, you’ll explore the true meaning of spiritual practice and why it’s so different from religious practice.

Krishna Das will also walk you through the causes of suffering and the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism.

In this first module, you’ll discover:

What KD learned from his early life and hidden pain
How to recognize what your dissatisfaction with your life means — and your desire to find a deeper, more meaningful way of living
The Path of Yoga: including the concepts of Karma, Bhakti, Jnana, and Raja Yoga
The books that have impacted KD’s journey, including Autobiography of a Yogi, The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, and Zen and Japanese Culture
A guided practice: Awareness of Breath
A short opening chant with KD

Module 2: A Life-Changing Meeting With Ram Dass (May 20)

As the path becomes real, you’ll begin to understand that real love exists in the world… and that, as KD puts it, somehow you’ve tripped and fallen onto the Path to that Love.

This week, KD will share how reading the epic poem Ramcharitamanasa rewired his brain for a whole different type of love…

In the story of Ramacharitamanasa, the individual soul has been kidnapped by the ego, held captive by the senses and the many distractions of the external world — until it’s rescued and returned to the presence of God.

KD will share how this striking story can apply to your life, too — opening you up to this new type of love.

In this module, you’ll also explore:

How KD first crossed paths with Ram Dass — and how it changed his life and spiritual path forever
Why KD knew he had to go to India in search of Ram Dass’ legendary guru Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaj-ji) — even though he’d just been offered a spot as the singer of a soon-to-be very successful rock band
A powerful practice: repetition of The name with breath (japa)
A brief-yet-transformative chant

Module 3: Going to India & the Power of Devotion (May 27)

This week, you’ll explore the ways you’re likely seeing the world through the lens of what Krishna Das calls “our Western neuroses” — the result of being born into a culture that often seems to only believe in sense pleasures and emotional love.

You’ll also discover one of the most revered hymns of the Indian devotional tradition, the Hanuman Chalisa — and explore how these 40 powerful verses can fill you with divine energy, remove obstacles on your path, and fulfill your true desires.

In this session, you’ll:

Discover how chanting really works — and why Sri Ramakrishna taught that every repetition holds the potential of openness, awareness, and freedom
Explore the wisdom of the Old Devotees: Dada Mukherjee, Tewari, and Krishna Kumar (KK) Sah
Discover how Ram Dass’ stories of the legendary guru Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaj-ji) inspired Krishna Das to leave behind his rock-star dreams — and seek out this remarkable Being
Hear the story of Shiva Puja with the Tewari family in Nainital
Chant the Hanuman Chalisa along with KD

Module 4: Refuge & Shelter in the Heart (June 3)

What is the Path of Loving Devotion — and what does it mean for a Western person in a modern world?

This week, you’ll deepen your understanding of this path as Krishna Das shares devotional chants and stories that have brought this path to thousands of seekers…

The words of these chants are called the divine names — and as you’ll discover, they come from a place in your own heart that’s deeper than your thoughts and emotions.

From the repetition of the names, you’ll move more deeply into your own true nature — and gain a new understanding of yourself as you finally experience the grace of trusting your own heart.

As you chant along with Krishna Das, you’ll release thoughts and emotions that create suffering and pull you out of yourself.

In this module, you’ll discover:

Powerful quotes from saints and scriptures that can deepen your journey
How devotional chanting helps you directly experience the liberating power of faith, compassion, and surrender
How to develop faith and confidence in your practice and your life
How the practice of chanting can remove the obsession we all have with our small “s” selves — what Krishna Das calls “the movie of me” — as you free yourself from the negative emotions (fear, anxiety, and more) that stem from separation
A series of uplifting chants, led by Krishna Das

Module 5: Kindness, Compassion & Grace (June 10)

At this point in your journey through this course, you’ll discover how to plant the seeds that will grow into a life of joy, happiness, and freedom from your Shadow…

This week, Krishna Das will share stories of his time with Maharaj-ji (Neem Karoli Baba) — and explore the many ways he taught and transformed his students.

KD will also share the story of how he once hurt his knee in India so badly he could barely walk — and how Maharaj-ji shared a Bible passage that taught him to surrender to the higher power and the deeper place within.

You’ll hear the story of how Krishna Das’ Guru continues to teach, train, and guide him — even now, 45+ years after He left the body.

In this module, you’ll explore:

Krishna Das’ experience in India that saved him and showed him it was OK for him to be alive and that maybe everything was going to be OK!
His Guru’s teachings on how you can find God by serving others
The Hungry Hearts chant — and what we can learn about the spiritual practice of serving others from the story of its creator, Zen master and social justice activist Roshi Bernie Glassman
The 4 Immeasurable Qualities and how they manifest in our lives: Equanimity, Loving-Kindness, Compassion, and Sympathetic Joy
The powerful Loving-Kindness (metta) meditation and chanting practice

Module 6: Pujas, Prayers & Practice (June 17)

In your closing week with Krishna Das and your new community of seekers from around the world, you’ll synthesize everything you’ve been learning.

KD will share the subtle, yet deep nature of the real changes he’s experienced through committed practice — changes you can experience too, even after this course comes to a close.

As you’ll explore, it’s essential to consistently exercise your letting-go muscle — and discover how happiness allows you to remain fully engaged with whatever’s happening in the moment.

You’ll come to understand that your natural state is joyful, and not dependent on external circumstances.

In this final module, you’ll discover:

The true meaning of grace and surrender — and how they help you recognize your life as your Path
Powerful quotes from saints — including Ramana Maharshi, Ramakrishna, and Buddha — that you can apply to your spiritual life right now, and moving forward
KD’s memorable and impactful “happiness story” featuring the Dalai Lama
A discussion about grace versus personal effort
A closing chanting practice with KD and your new global community

The Devotional Chanting Bonus Collection
In addition to KD’s transformative 6-week virtual course, you’ll receive these powerful bonuses to complement the course and take your understanding and practice to an even deeper level.

Kirtan Wallah
Audio Album From Krishna Das

With the release of his 14th album, Kirtan Wallah (one who sings kirtan), Krishna Das offers a Westward-leaning album, fully embracing his American roots in rock and country — while embodying the spirit of deeply devotional Indian chants. You’ll hear traditional melodies, bansuri flute, acoustic guitars, country swing, and so much more.

Trust in the Heart
Audio Album From Krishna Das

On his 15th album and newest full-length release, Krishna Das has woven together an elegant, uncompromising collection. The groove is restrained, sparse, and deep, creating the perfect space for the Divine Presence to manifest. KD offers the bare essence of kirtan — a calling out to the divine presence within ourselves.
