sitaram

Sitaram says, "I spent several years serving my beloved teacher Ram Dass on Maui. It was during this time that I committed myself to the practice of kirtan and the path of Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of service and devotion to God. I also received the rare chance to be in close proximity to a man who truly lives from the heart. Whether he was lecturing on stage, at the dinner table with friends or alone in his room, Ram Dass rested in and acted from a place of love. I believe that this is the most important thing anyone can learn- to live from the heart, to act from the heart, to sing from the heart.

This is Ram Dass’s main teaching, and it continues the teachings of his guru, the great saint Neem Karoli Baba, who said “Love everyone, serve everyone and remember God.” I try to make these three words, love, serve and remember as the foundation of everything I do.  I can’t think of any better map to navigate life with."

Daniel finally wrangles Lorin into being on his podcast after 3 or 4 years of hounding him.  They talk a lot about sanskrit, and about how it is a language of love and sacrifice.  They talk a lot about the different ways one can meditate, and suggest that people start with the ancient practice of 'not being mean to yourself for twenty minutes. Lorin then reads from his book, 'The Radiant Sutras', and discusses meditation for difficult times.  Visit Lorin at his website http://lorinroche.com, and you can listen to the teaser trailer on Sitaram Das's Patreon account, here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/episode-201-7546116
