1968年冬天,Krishna Das遇到了Ram Dass,當時Ram剛從印度旅游回來。在美國和Ram Dass生活并旅行了一段時間以后,對Ram Dass的關于Maharaj-ji的傳聞促使Krishna Das也去了印度,在那里他遇到了他的導師,并接受了導師的祝福。
在印度住了近3年后,Krishna Das的心被印度教的瑜伽術所深深吸引。意識到他內心深處的渴望,Maharaj-ji帶領他逐步掌握了kirtan,一種對神的名字的詠頌。作為喜馬拉雅山腳下Durga廟指定的詠頌者,Krishna Das深深地沉浸入對Divine Goddess的崇拜中。
在印度的幾年中,Krishna Das幾乎一直跟隨著Maharaj-ji,把自己獻給神,并凈化自己的內心。在1973年上半年,Maharaj-ji讓他回到了美國。
Krishna Das 說道, “當我意識到這將是我離開Maharaj-ji的時候,我被嚇呆了,離開美國這么多年,我已經很長時間沒有穿過牛仔褲或者是謝了,我都不能想象穿上他們是什么感覺了,我不想問Maharaj-ji我在美國應該做什么,當時我下意識的反應就是:Maharaj-ji!,我在美國怎么能為您效勞?
“他帶著嘲笑的表情看著我,說,‘這是什么意思?如果你問你怎樣才能為我效勞,那就沒有任何必要了,做你自己想做的吧?!液喼辈荒芟嘈抛约旱亩?,我做我自己想做的事情怎么是為他效勞呢?我完全想象不出,我只是呆坐著。過了大概1分鐘,他看著我,微笑著問我:‘那么,你怎樣為我效勞呢?’“我的思路完全是空白,按計劃當時我應正準備離開德里,搭乘飛機趕回美國,他看著我,大笑,我最后一次跪在他面前,親吻他的腳,當我仰視他的時候,他微笑著看著我,“那么,你在美國如何為我效勞呢?”我感覺我當時好像在做夢,我飄過院子,并在此遠遠地向他鞠躬,此時,傳來一句話“我將在美國為你而歌唱”。
這之后不久,在9月的月圓之夜,Neem Karoli Baba坐化了,他必須找到轉世的人。頌唱,沉思,禮拜還有其他和Maharaj-ji在一起的快樂時光都變成了他在我心中播種的種子,這些種子將在他的感化下生根發(fā)芽。
在過去幾年中,Krishna Das在印度作了不盡其數的朝拜,拜訪了很多導師和精神圣人,以求得自身心靈的開放和純凈。他在印度各地的叢林中,修行所,圣地居住,并得以有機會可以去吸收印度幾千年文化中所蘊含的遠古的真理。他曾經向Anagarika Munindra和S.N. Goenka學習佛教的沉思,并得到了不同教派的喇嘛關于藏傳佛教的真?zhèn)鳌?
Krishna Das過去曾定期在世界各地的瑜伽中心舉行詠頌。他也曾和Ram Dass一起,為美國和印度的許多圣人和瑜伽練習者進行詠頌。
The spirituality of India is blended with modern, electronic influences by Long Island, New York-raised Krishna Das (b. Jeffrey Kagel). The founder of Triloka Records, Das continues to update the musical accompaniment to traditional Hindu chanting and satsong. Influential spiritual leader Ram Dass described Das as an example of someone whose heartsongs open the channels to God. Das connections to Indian spirituality developed in his early 20s. Having grown up on jazz, blues and rock and roll, Das was working as a school bus driver when friends inspired him to visit Ram Dass in 1968. Driving six hours through snow, Das arrived at his destination in New Hampshire. Although he only visited with Ram Dass for a few hours, the experience completely altered the course of his life. Two years later, Das traveled to northern India where he spent two years as a devotee of Guru Mahara-ji (Neem Karoli Baba). While in India, Das became involved with the spiritual aspects of the countrys music. With his visa expiring, Das returned to the U.S. in March 1972. In 1990, Das founded Triloka Records. The label has become a leading distributor of world music recordings. His debut album, One Track Heart, released in 1996, focused on updated chants from the ancient tradition of Bhakti Yoga (Yoga of Devotion). His second album, Pilgrim Heart, released in 1998, featured a guest appearance by Sting, who sang on the tune Mountain Hari Krishna and played bass on Ring Song. Das continues to conduct intensive seminars, workshops and chanting sessions, issuing Live on Earth...For a Limited Time Only in early 2000.
