of happiness and a little-known saint named Neem Karoli Baba (or Maharajji). One Track Heart: The
Story of Krishna Das follows Kagel's journey to India and back, his struggles with depression and drug
abuse, and his eventual emergence as Krishna Dasthe world-renowned spiritual teacher, chant master
