When we feel separated from Source we are prone to "mistaken identity" That is, we think we are alone! We are not listening to our soul and we are not aware of true identity when we are depressed. You are never alone, even in the middle of a hurricane, and some die- guess what, we are all going to die and come back again~as we have been for yugas. This does NOT mean I approve of brutality or ignorance. Can I fix it- only in myself!

I read somewhere that sadness is simply an attachment to the past which
we'd rather feel when we're scared of the future. I have looked at it that
way ever since I and it has worked every time for me. So in that light
feeling sadness while doing yoga is a good sign.It shows that you are
getting close to leaving the past behind and entering into a new phase of
your life. Just ask yourself what it is you might be scared of about the
future.

I know it is common to talk about depression as the result of a chemical
imbalance in our culture. But I believe the chemical imabalance is the
result, not the cause. It comes when we are depressed too long. Depression
is more directly related to forgetting something that we really need to
pay attention to. It is when we turn off th elife force. Say when we
realize we would rather be dancing than making burgers at Mc Donald's but
we gloss over the soul's desire and keep doing the work for money reasons.
Depression is a deeper form of boredom and they both come at first when we
need to pay attention to something that matters to us. When we find it we
get excited again. So when you felt depressed during the period you were
doing the Kirtan Kriya, I would look at it more deeply. Kirtan Kriya is
about facilitating change in one's life. But what do you want to change or
change into? If you're scared of what you'd like to create in your life or
resist the change in some way, depression is a natural outcome!
