This isn’t a polished episode. It’s not a masterclass or a list of tips. It’s just me, saying it out loud.On May 22, 2025, I watched my dad take his final breath. And nothing has been the same since.In this episode, I talk about what it’s like to witness death—and how it cracked me open in ways I never expected. The things I used to obsess over? The overthinking, the self-doubt, the constant need to get it “right”? I don’t have the capacity for that anymore. I’m not the same person I was before he died.If you’ve ever lost someone… if you’re navigating grief… or if you just feel like life has shifted you into a new version of yourself—this one’s for you.Unfiltered. Unscripted.

Bernd is chanting the mantra Asato ma sad gamaya during a saturday evening satsang at Yoga Vidya in Bad Meinberg, Germany. More mantra kirtan mp3 recordings can be listen at https://blog.yoga-vidya.de/category/podcast/mantra/ - or as videos at my.yoga-vidya.org/members/Mantras/videos Here is the full text in simplified transcription: Asato Ma Sad Gamaya Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya Mrityor Manritan Gamaya “Asato Ma Sat Gamaya” is a mantra from the Upanishads, it is a mantra that comes from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, 1.3.28, it is a mantra that also belongs to the Shanti Mantras, i.e. to the peace mantras, and it is also a prayer where we ask to be able to experience the highest. “Asato Ma Sat Gamaya” means: ”Lead me and lead us from Asat, from untruth, to Sat, to truth.” Ma means “me”. “Guide me, Ma, from unreality to reality.” Gamaya can be translated as “lead me to”, but you can also say “let me go there” or “let us go there”, “let us go from the unreal to the real”. “Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya. May I go and may I be guided, may you guide me, from Tamas, from darkness, to Jyoti, to light.” “Mrityor Mamritam Gamaya. And may I also go forth and may I be guided, may you lead me from mrityo, from death, to amrita, to immortality, to the nectar of immortality.”

Are people always asking you for favors? If you are feeling stretched thin, you guessed it – it’s time to draw that boundary. And how do you draw that boundary with calm and compassion?

Sharing personal stories of his time with Maharaj-ji, Krishna Das walks us down the path of recognizing grace, loving all beings, and keeping the heart open, no matter how hard it gets.Today’s podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self."Grace is always here but we're too busy, too involved in our stuff, our thoughts and emotions. We're too identified with our negative emotions. From our side, it appears we lose contact with the grace. But, that's not the case. We just lose awareness of the presence. Maharaj-ji doesn't go, doesn't come, doesn't leave us. He never lets go. Once he takes your hand, he never lets go." – Krishna DasThis time on Pilgrim Heart, Krishna Das responds to questions about:Hanuman’s favorite food and providing offerings from the heartThe ever-presence of Maharaj-ji and his grace, even when we are too busy to noticeThe struggle to connect with others and find a community Loving everyone, regardless of their actions or if we like/dislike themA short retelling of the story of Hanuman’s birth Working through addictions and the avoidance of painA memory of an almost-marriage in India, and how Maharaj-ji always saw right through Krishna Das’ egoHow it took Krishna Das 21 years to begin singing to Maharaj-ji as his primary practice"The big community is human beings, that's our real community. Our work is to allow our hearts to open to all beings, even the ones we don't like, even the ones that are doing terrible things. It's not our job to judge—it's our job to love everyone as best we can, and that's hard enough." – Krishna DasSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

They told him to be strong. So he hid his pain, swallowed his tears, and smiled through the storms. This is for every man who was told to ‘man up.’ Your emotions are valid. Express them. Don’t bottle up or think that they are a sign of weakness.Your tears are natural because real men feel. Real men cry too. Crying doesn’t make you less of a man. It makes you honest. It makes you human.Lets find our safe space, accept and express the emotions and heal.Arjuna surrendered to Sri Krishna with tears in his eyes before the Mahabharata war. Sri Rama broke down in front of Sita. After Sati’s self-immolation, Shiva wept and roamed in grief, carrying her body. Bharata was shattered upon learning Rama was exiled; he expressed his emotions and refused the throne.Please share more examples in the comments.In Sanatana Dharma, emotions are not suppressed—they are purified and transformed.#MasculinityRedefined #ItsOkayToCry #MenCryToo#MentalHealthForMen #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay #BreakTheStigma #RedefiningStrength #HeFeelsToo #TearsAreValid #StrongMenFeel #ManEnoughToCry[Ramayana Lessons, Mahabharata Wisdom, Arjuna’s Tears, Rama’s Grief, Shiva’s Loss, Yudhishthira’s Regret, Sanatana Dharma Emotions, Vedic Masculinity, mens mental fitness month, mental health]Please support this podcast by pressing the follow button and support Chinmaya Mission Mumbai projects taken up by Swami Swatmananda, through generous donations.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 1 Text 213 gantuṁ vṛndāvanaṁ prātar ājñārthaṁ purataḥ prabhoḥ gataḥ śrīman-mukhaṁ paśyan sarvaṁ tad vismarāmy aho TRANSLATION Early in the morning, I went before Lord Jagannātha to ask His permission to leave for Vṛndāvana; but oh, when I saw His beautiful face I forgot all my plans.

इस कड़ी में अर्जुन को अभिमन्यु की दुखद मृत्यु का समाचार मिलता है और वे जयद्रथ वध की प्रतिज्ञा लेते हैं। अगली सुबह अर्जुन अकेले विशाल व्यूह को भेदते हैं, जबकि सात्यकि और भीम भी उनके पीछे आते हैं। रणभूमि में जबरदस्त युद्ध होता है – वीरता, क्रोध और शोक सब चरम पर हैं। अर्जुन का हर कदम केवल एक लक्ष्य के लिए है: प्रतिशोध।
