What they’re usually asking is what it means, or what I believe, or what kind of spiritual box it puts me in. The truth is for sure messier than that. When I got the tattoo, I was ungrounded. Not falling apart exactly, but not settled either. I wanted something to hold onto. Part of me wanted people to know I was spiritual. I won’t pretend that wasn’t there. And part of me wanted a reminder—something physical—of my relationship with Krishna, because that relationship already felt real to me, even if I didn’t fully understand it. What first drew me in wasn’t theology or philosophy. It was the maha mantra. Hearing it, chanting it, feeling the repetition work on me without asking for clarity first. And then the stories. People telling stories of Krishna and Radha—little moments, glances, mischief, longing. Their pastimes. That kind of love. https://happykirtan.com/blog/leading-my-first-full-kirtan monthly 0.5 2025-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6845ff3bcf4e665c69d21608/421eab0c-3c14-43f6-9afa-bd4e8ccc7e52/IMG_9293.jpg Blog - Field Notes From the Path:Leading My First Full Kirtan - There’s a monthly kirtan in Charlottesville, held at Unity Church. I’ve played there before. It’s a big space — beautiful in its own way — but not particularly intimate. Different people take turns leading each month. And this time… they asked me. I said yes. But not without fear. https://happykirtan.com/blog/the-seed-of-dharma monthly 0.5 2025-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6845ff3bcf4e665c69d21608/354ad80f-13be-49b5-9544-904015dff2d7/Seed+of+dharma.jpg Blog - The Seed of Dharma - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6845ff3bcf4e665c69d21608/a7ead4ce-c182-415f-bce5-5c01c72ab665/%E2%80%9CMaybe+dharma+isn%E2%80%99t+where+you+belong.+Maybe+it%E2%80%99s+how+you+love.%E2%80%9D.jpg Blog - The Seed of Dharma - “Maybe dharma isn’t where you belong.
