A remembrance of Krishnadas:
Krishnadas came to Eugene for a year in the middle 1980’s when we had no sheikh for our gatherings. His style was quite eccentric, and we became fast friends. He loved to sing and taught us harmony as well as many breath practices, all for developing the breath.
He was completely dedicated to Murshid Sam Lewis, both during and after Sam’s time on Earth. I never saw or heard of him as disloyal to his Teacher, ever. His devotion was completely steadfast for his teacher.
In my early Sufi years, I was having vision-dreams; KD was very helpful in clarifying their meanings for me, as my own intitiator lived in a faraway state. His guidance has proven itself for years.
KD’s devotion to this path was complete-and probably still is! I imagine him walking up a long spiraling path to the top of the mountain, hand in hand with Murshid Sam.
Peace and belsssings to you, KD, and may God preserve your secret.
Ya Fattah, brother; Toward the One.

Krishnadas was a true Madzub with an wonderful love for God. His eyes would tinkle and shine with an intensity that I have rarely seen. And he could be a mix of stern task master one minute and love puppy the next. I remember sitting at the dinner table at Allah’s Acres after a long work day as Krishnadas taught a four part round while dinner sat getting cold. We would go over and over the parts until it was as close to perfect as we could get. Silly and joyful and sublime. I remember sitting under a tree at Allah’s Acres on a 5 day retreat led by Wali Ali and Krishnadas. On about the 3rd day, after doing the Zikar of Inayat Khan for several hours one morning and in my ignorance feeling like I was starting to get somewhere, KD suddenly sat down in front of me and just changed the note a step, the next thing I knew I was in tears, and could only laugh or cry with each continued round of the zikar. Ya Allah, released beyond thought
Toward the One , KD you put the hu in human
