His experience is that you will never have exactly what you want and that you are already what you're looking for. His sense is that you don't need to be taught as much as you need to be understood and heard. He is well versed in several spiritual maps but he knows that who you are is beyond any map. You are the changeless and you are always changing, and he relates to you as both. Since you are what you're looking for, he is only always pointing you to a deep trust in your own deepest life: Being itself. He does this in one on one sessions and in groups through talks, guided meditation, questions and answers, gazing transmission and silent sitting. His presence enlivens that which is guiding you from within and calls you into your own life. He welcomes you into an awakening that is totally yours, and totally beyond you. Krishna invites everyone to roll up their sleeves and celebrate the paradox of being both Infinite and finite simultaneously. His sleeves are rolled up too.

Krishna
can be a catalyst for the awakening transformation of your life. He also
appears to be a pretty ordinary guy. For most of his life he has been driven
by a desire to know the power that moves the universe. In this mad quest for
authentic spiritual realization he has been blessed to come across the right
people at the right time. Besides working as a spiritual coach and teacher
and being trained in hypnotherapy, he has also been a cabinetmaker, an auto
assembly line worker, a New York City taxi cab driver and a bus driver. He
has lived real life as a down to earth human being and knows that the truth
of spirituality is always tested there. 
“This
weekend was unlike any Waking Down event I've attended. Krishna Gauci taught
the Waking Down Dharma but also shared from his own further explorations.
The teaching flowed in such a beautiful, enlivening way that by the end
everyone felt as if they'd been co-creators of a timeless moment of profound
grace. Revelations came through the teachings, such as Krishna's explanation
of why gazing is such a profound practice, as well as through powerful
practices. I have never been to such an impactful Waking Down event. I most
highly recommend it.” 
“Although
I’ve been involved with Waking Down off and on for nearly a decade, the
recent addition of Krishna Gauci to my “tag team” of spiritual teachers
played an instrumental role in finally catalyzing my Second Birth last year.
Hence, as both a devoted Krishna admirer and a coordinator for Chicago
Waking Down events, I was understandably elated when Krishna agreed to hold
a weekend workshop in my neck of the woods. As it became obvious by the end
of the first full day of Krishna’s masterful guidance and energizing
transmission, many other participants were equally grateful to find
themselves in his benign presence. His consummate skill in navigating the
peaks and valleys of spiritual self-exploration allowed us all to feel held
and nurtured even in the face of some very deeply expressed wounds. For
every growing or established Waking Down community, or any place interested
in hosting an advanced spiritual teacher who is also well versed in the
esoteric traditions, I highly recommend Krishna and his wise and
compassionate counsel.” 
“I
have worked with Krishna Gauci in sittings, weekend and day long retreats,
and on conference calls with other participants. Krishna is a profoundly
realized teacher, with vast presence and deep wisdom. He has a gift for
meeting students exactly where they need to be met and sometimes gently,
sometimes boldly imparting this wisdom along with his palpable transmission.
Krishna is also a virtual encyclopedia of Eastern religions and traditions,
not only having read about them, but having studied them, practiced them and
contemplated them for decades. His perspective is unique, wide and well
considered. And, lastly, Krishna is a regular guy from New York. He’s
utterly human, totally accessible, and a kind, good man. I am uber-grateful
for the time I’ve spent with him, and look forward to future training,
sharing, and evolving with Krishna.” 
“I
feel fortunate that my first introduction to Waking Down in Mutuality was a
sitting with Krishna Gauci. Krishna is a skillful guide to the paradox at
the heart of the Waking Down dharma, his wisdom sourced from sustained
practice in Advaita Vedanta and Vajrayana in living dialogue with other
forms of the non-dual perennial philosophy. 
“Ready
for a good kick in your WDM process? Want a profound treat? Then work with
the radiant and wise, yet still down-to-earth, waking down teachers Krishna
Gauci and Vivian Coles. I attended Krishna and Vivian's workshop, Radiant
Awareness in Waking Down in Mutuality and experienced a deeper understanding
of consciousness, radiant awareness and devotion at several different
levels. Krishna and Vivian bring their own radiance along with years of
experience to a workshop that will deepen your recognition of consciousness
and stimulate your awakening process wherever you are in that process. By
focusing on consciousness, these workshops emphasizes how awakening, down
(embodiment) and mutuality are not disparate concepts but are blended into
different gradations and shades of experience. In addition to foundational
WDM practices such as gazing and sharing, the workshop appeals to many
different styles providing a presentation on an elegant model of WDM and
consciousness, guided meditations to increase body-feeling awareness, and
experiential activities to expand your radiant awareness capacities. I loved
it and highly recommend it!” 
Thank
you, Krishna and Vivian, for making the trip to Atlanta. The presence of
your transmission was palpable, and your useful analogies helped make
abstract concepts easy to grasp. I really enjoyed the welcoming energy of
the group and felt really at home. I look forward to meeting the two of you
again.
