Chanting is a way of getting in touch with yourself. It’s an opening of the heart and letting go of the mind and thoughts. It deepens the channel of grace, and it’s a way of being present in the moment.
KRISHNA DASSurrender happens by Grace. All we’re doing is cleaning up the room so when Surrender walks in, He can sit down.
