Trechos dos livros “Paths to God” e “Polishing the Mirror”, de Ram Dass.Ram Dass, nascido Richard Alpert (1931-2019), foi um renomado professor espiritual, psicólogo e escritor americano.Formado em Harvard, tornou-se professor de psicologia e colaborou em estudos pioneiros sobre os efeitos terapêuticos de substâncias psicodélicas. Após uma viagem à Índia nos anos 1960, conheceu seu guru Neem Karoli Baba, que o renomeou Ram Dass (“Servo de Deus”). Essa experiência transformou sua vida e o levou a mergulhar na espiritualidade. Ele se dedicou a integrar ensinamentos espirituais orientais à vida moderna ocidental.Ram Dass ensinava a importância da prática espiritual na vida cotidiana, enfatizando a presença, a compaixão e o amor incondicional. Seu livro Be Here Now (1971) tornou-se um clássico espiritual, incentivando leitores a viverem no momento presente e a explorarem a interconexão da vida. Ele também abordava temas como a aceitação da mortalidade, a busca pelo significado da vida e o serviço desinteressado como caminho espiritual.Ram Dass foi uma figura central na introdução da espiritualidade oriental ao Ocidente. Sua abordagem inclusiva e prática influenciou gerações de buscadores espirituais. Seus ensinamentos continuam vivos por meio de seus livros, palestras e a Fundação Love Serve Remember, que promove sua mensagem de amor e serviço.

"(From Jesus) Surrender to me does not mean to fret, to be upset, or to lose hope, nor does it mean offering to Me a worried prayer, asking Me to follow you and change your worry into prayer. It is against this surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be nervous and to desire to think about the consequences of anything. It is like the confusion that children feel when they ask their mother to see to their needs, and then try to take care of those needs for themselves so that their childlike efforts get in their mother's way. Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the soul, to turn away from thoughts of tribulation and to put yourself in My care, so that only I act; saying, "You take care of it".(Repeat the following prayer 10 times.)O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.Amen" - Father Ruotolo Dolindo "A beautiful prayer to Krishna is, 'please let me feel your warm affection as I chant.'" - Mahatma Das "Without a name, without a body, tell me about yourself. Tell me something about yourself without mentioning your memories or mind. Can you tell me something? Nothing can be said... That's You." - Nisargadatta Maharaj“‘Lest ye become as little children, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.' Unless you start again, become that trusting, open surrendered being, the energy can't come in. That's the kingdom of heaven; the energy, cosmic consciousness, the same thing.” – Ram Dass"He was crucified so that his spirit could spread throughout the world. He sacrificed his body for the dharma. He never died, he never died. He is Atman (the Soul), living in the hearts of all." -Neem Karoli Baba

Episode SummaryThe storied and kind-hearted Jai Uttal drops into the show for an extended conversation about music, monkey gods, gurus, India, sobriety, family, and ultimately the spiritual path of healing through love. We begin with an exploration of Jai's current practice of hyper-local kindness in a world where that resource is becoming increasingly scarce. From there we dive into Jai's latest musical offering, Hanuman Chalisa for World Peace. Not only does Jai share with us the intimate practice he's had with this widely venerated chant for over five decades, but he walks us through the creative context in which his first published recording of the Chalisa came to life. In his telling we gather the rich array of inspirations that bring about his creative gifts.Gradually, Jai invites us into the richness of his life, as he retells how the winding threads that have made up the fabric of his life came to be. We come to understand the overlapping events and energies of kirtan, India, gurus, dreams, drugs, anxieties, singing, but mostly love and family, have been ripples of his life. Along the way we hear about his intersections with Steve Jobs, Ali Akbar Khan, Neem Karoli Baba, Ram Das, and others. We hear about his initiation into kirtan, Indian classical music, and his profound relationships that unfolded with musical and spiritual masters. We also hear about the struggles with finding his voice, performing, and managing the pains of life with drugs and alcohol before he found his true loves in his wife Nubia and in becoming a father to his son, Ezra. In the beginning, middle, and end, the beloved monkey god, Hanuman, walks with us, serving as a back-drop of Jai's own spiritual journey as he realizes the profound and ordinary teachings love and devotion have in his, just like every other human life. A beautiful conversation that bares the heart in a way that we can't help but be moved by. About: Jai Uttal is a husband, father, neighbor, and friend. He's more widely know for being a Grammy nominated sacred music composer, recording artist, multi-instrumentalist, and ecstatic vocalist. Jai combines influences from India with influences from American rock and jazz, creating a stimulating and exotic multi-cultural fusion that is truly world spirit music.Jai has been leading, teaching and performing kirtan around the world for close to 50 years, creating a safe environment for people to open their hearts and voices.

He is a filmmaker and director, most recently coming out with Brilliant Disguise. Brilliant Disguise tells the unique story of a group of inspired Western spiritual seekers from the 60s, who in meeting the great American teacher, Ram Dass, followed him to India to meet his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba, familiarly known as Maharaj-ji. Two days before he left his body, Maharaj-ji instructed K.C. Tewari to take care of the Westerners, which he did resolutely until the day he died in 1997. Silver's #1 charting MGM/UA/Warners film, “The Compleat Beatles” is the critically acclaimed biopic movie about history's most famous band. The term ‘rockumentary' was first applied to this two-hour movie. Rolling Stone recently described the film as a “masterwork.” Silver's Warner Brothers' feature film, “No Nukes” also started the whole trend of music/activism feature documentaries.“We are overwhelmed in so many different ways. This, everybody, is the first thing to do. Many people will say ‘I find it difficult. My mind wanders. I can't really meditate.' It's called practice. You start with 3 minutes, you go to 5, 10, 15, 20. You do it because this overwhelm is absolutely untenable for us without some practice.” – Raghu MarkusSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

His album ‘Live Ananda' (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.KD spent the late '60s traveling across the country as a student of Ram Dass, and in August 1970, he finally made the journey to India, which led him to Ram Dass' own beloved guru, Neem Karoli Baba, known to most as Maharaj-ji.Krishna Das now travels the world sharing his kirtan practice and wonderful stories of his life, of Maharaji-ji, of his life on the Path and discusses bringing chanting into our lives through retreats and workshops.

This episode features a wide-open, informative, and fun-filled conversation with my new friend, Mokshani, who is the ambassador of our local Ram Dass satsang. Listen along as Mokshani opens up about how her spiritual path has made the most profound impact on her mental health, the miracles that ensued on her recent trip to India, her career as an occupational therapist, and her observations about the ways she's seen Western medicine begin to integrate more ancient Eastern wisdoms into its practices. We also discuss the most fun and fascinating aspects of living here in the South, and our shared lifelong appreciation for classic rock and boy bands. For context, when we discuss Maharaj-ji, we are referring to Neem Karoli Baba who was Ram Dass's very beloved guru and was also believed to be the reincarnation of the Hindu monkey god, Lord Hanuman. There are many stories recounting Maharaj-ji's playful spirit and I think he may have mischievously been messing with me as I set up the audio for this interview, so my apologies for the sound quality and that my voice sounds a bit distorted— though, fortunately, Mokshani does not. I know you'll thoroughly enjoy her magnetic energy and her way of being as she shares her take on life. Also, we decided to record outside because it was such a pretty day so you'll get to enjoy lots of ambient noises from the surrounding birds, planes, helicopters, and wind. I appreciate your grace as I continue to learn on the job! On a more serious note, I happen to be publishing this episode just one day after a horrific event took place, where over 100 people lost their lives in a stampede that occurred at a satsang event in Hathras, India. Our hearts go out to our brothers and sisters in India who are suffering as a result of this incident, as well as to all beings who are suffering around the world right now. Ram Ram Hype Song: Hanuman Chaleesa by Krishna DasLyrics and TranslationShare your thoughts, feelings, and questions about the episode with Destiny at intentionalbusinesspodcast@gmail.com You can follow along on Instagram at @destinyonearth

All of it is related to our spiritual awakening. “Then there's a deeper level, like when I first met him he asked me why I'd come back and I told him it was to purify myself more. He said, “I am always in communion with you.” And I have more and more deeply understood that to be the case, and in fact that's now who he is for me. He is a being who is with me always, and sometimes he's with me so closely that I am him – I'm saying things to people or I'm acting a certain way towards people and I look at their reaction and I see that they're not reacting to me, they're reacting to him.” - Ram Dass on Neem Karoli Baba Love Love Love Play Play Play Hey!!!

Two days before he left his body, Maharaji instructed K.C. Tewari to take care of the Westerners, which he did resolutely until the day he died in 1997. K.C. Tewari—in the guise of a headmaster of a boys school in the foothills of the Himalayas—was secretly a High Yogi, frequently able to go into altered states of trance, known as Samadhi, at any moment.“I think the greatest compliment that Ram Dass gave him, and it wasn't an exclamation of any sort, he said Aldous Huxley had a very great relationship with the mystery” – Raghu MarkusSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Grammy-nominated Kirtan singer and GoOD Friend, Krishna Das (KD) joins Nikki to talk about the first mantra he was given by Ram Dass (that saved him from a car accident), his experiences meeting Indian saints like Anandamayi Ma, his personal spiritual practice (chanting versus meditating), one of his favorite Christian Saints, St. Seraphim of Sarov, his time in India with Neem Karoli Baba aka Maharajji, and his time now, still living in the boundless presence that is his Guru. They cover how to manage doubt,  how to grow in Faith, and KD shares the mantra he turns to when maya/illusion gets very loud. Finally, KD leads a the beautiful 'Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram' chant. Watch on Youtube! राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम "The words of these chants are called the divine names and they come from a place that's deeper than our hearts and our thoughts, deeper than the mind. And so as we sing them they turn us towards ourselves, into ourselves. They bring us in, and as we offer ourselves into the experience, the experience changes us. These chants have no meaning other than the experience that we have by doing them. They come from the Hindu tradition, but it's not about being a Hindu, or believing anything in advance. It's just about doing it, and experiencing. Nothing to join, you just sit down and sing. The repetition of the holy names reveals a presence hidden within the heart. Something begins to happen that's very disturbing - we get happy." - Krishna Das  The 'Sri Ram' Mantra is known as the victory mantra. 'One gets success and victory in all his ventures who chants this mantra. It is a miracle mantra which can make the impossible tasks possible.' Sri - Honorific title to show respect and reverence Ram - the Light of your Soul  Jai - Victory or Triumph Victory to the Light within me. "Just take Ram's name and all desires will be fulfilled." - Maharajji to Dada in Miracle of Love "Q: Maharajji, what can I do to gain pure love for Ram? -- Maharajji's Answer: You will get pure love for Ram by the blessings of Christ. Hanuman and Christ are one. They are the same." - Miracle of Love "Standing or sitting, eating or lying down, if one chants 'Ram, Ram' constantly, one will be able to gain His Grace, there is no doubt about it. A person, who is anxious to gain God's Grace, can experiment on this and test its truth. He, who constantly chants 'Ram, Ram', will become Ram." -Sri Sitaramdas Omkarath Aditya Hridiyam Mantra Meditation with Ram Dass  - "All evil vanishes from life for him who keeps the Sun in his heart."  "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." - Ephesians 2: 8-10   Chants of a Lifetime by Krishna Das   राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम To claim your free gift, leave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it and send it to me at nikki@curlynikki.com!  Join us on Patreon to support the show, and tune into and participate in live video Q&As with me!  Support the show राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम

The cave still remains at the back of the temple and there is a strong feeling of continuity of spirit there. Once Maharajji, Siddhi Ma, and Jivanti Ma went at night to the site that was later to become the temple at Kainchi. While the Ma's sat by the roadside, Maharajji crossed over the river and didn't come back for four or five hours. When he did, he said, “I hear the sound here.

"I'm here because I followed the path of practice that my Guru laid out for me." - Nina Rao Nina Rao learned traditional chants (bhajans) from her grandfather in a village in south India when she was nine years old. The chants quietly stayed with her until she rediscovered chanting with Krishna Das in New York in 1996. For many years Nina has been Krishna Das' business manager and accompanies him onstage.

This will happen the moment you desire one thing. Your challenge has been that you desire more than one thing, and so you are not able to see that all desires are the same. If you choose in darkness, then shadows will enfold everything you perceive. But if you choose in the Light, then they will shine as you shine, and be blessed by your Holy Desire. Passion and desire stand together in your mind and cannot be separated. We will now open to the One Desire that will lead you to the goal you seek - the Peace of God. Nothing else in this world can satisfy you now. You have come too far." - James Twyman, Jeshua Code "I have called you to remember the reason you chose to be born. You have chosen to answer that call, for the song that was planted in your soul is now ringing in your ears." - James Twyman, Jeshua Code "You have been taught to chant the word YES to open the channels of your soul, preparing your heart for the Great Work that lies before us. It doesn't matter what language you use. It is the feeling you generate that creates the opening.  There is a sound in Hebrew that essentially means "It is so." This is a more powerful interpretation of the word YES. The sound is Yesh. Say it a few times out loud. Make the sound long and draw it out for at least a few seconds. "V-E-S- H."  Chant it over and over, as often as you can. Call to the Christ in You, and it will awaken. Will you believe me when I tell you that the rest will happen on its own? What do you wish to see in the world? Peace? Harmony? Adopt the vision that was given before time began..."- James Twyman, Jeshua Code

So learning words can help us understand a state to strive for, but ultimately through determination and persistence on the path, we must come to the state to know the Reality of the state. Does this make sense? So ultimately, we have to open the inner eye of wisdom which can see all the worlds that exist within Allah. (Bawa says there are 124,000 worlds!)

What sound does a Star make? Ask yourself this question and listen to the silence that follows. Every time you're noticing thoughts today, pause, and come back Here. To the Scintillating-Silence. Hear your Light. Feel your Light. When you dissolve thoughts in this Light, you're dissolving the problem. Whatever it was you were thinking about is also clearing-- the sky of your mind is clearing, revealing the twinkling Star, the Sun, that you are, that I Am.    With you in and AS the Shining, Nik nikki@curlynikki.com p.s.  How I weathered the (inner and outer) storm- 1. Prioritized meditation and silent sitting  2. Limited access to me- reduced meetings, phone calls, text messages, excessive news watching, and went inside myself ("Worldly people go outwards but you go inwards like the tortoise withdrawing in his shell." - Neem Karoli Baba) 3. Whenever fear or doubt would arise, I'd immediately retreat if I could, to hear God's voice, the voice of Silence, over my own.  4. Trusted that everything would be okay no matter what, and that whether the storm appeared to hit our home or not, the practice, the work was the same-- to open my heart.  5. Smiled and help others find theirs. “My challenge to you as fellow pilgrims on the journey, is to cultivate the stability of living on two planes of consciousness simultaneously—as Christ said, ‘In the world but not of the world,' to be fully passionately involved in life and also be totally equanimous and centered. This is not an either/or, it's a both/and.”   - Ram Dass Support the show: ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings _________________________________ Today's Quotes:  "As the depth of Love increases, the intensity of fear slowly decreases." -Amma "Pray to God for the power to remain aware of the Self in all conditions and circumstances." -Anandamayi Ma "When you go within yourself-- I don't care what the trouble is-- and Christ arises, awakens, it says to the storm within you, 'Peace, Be Still,' and there is a great Calm. You have entered meditation; you have left the storm of the mind and entered the Silence." -Bill Skiles  "As for the Word-- His wisdom meditates on It,  His teaching utters It,  His knowledge has revealed It,  His patience is a crown upon It,  His joy is in harmony with It,  His glory has exalted It,  His character has revealed It,  His rest has received It,  His Love has incarnated It,  His faith has embraced It." -The Word of the Father Appears (Naghamadi Texts, translation by John Lash)  Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

"Acknowledging the good that is already in your life is the foundation for all abundance."-Eckhart TolleCeaselessly acknowledging God by feeling Love, and knowing this Love as the source of 'the good that is already in your life', is the foundation for all abundance. Today we practice remembering that this feeling of God, our Joy is the foreground of our experience, not the background.  We eat joyfully, drive joyfully, breathe in Joy, walk in Joy... we do everything we normally do on a Sunday morning, but with conscious Joy.  We do all of it as if we  are existing  and moving in and through a Joy bubble... feeling this same Joy within and without.  The more we remember to feel this all-pervasive Joy, the more our life changes. The instant you feel Joy is the instant the changes begin.“Whoever works for God, his work will be done by itself.”-Neem Karoli Baba aka  Maharajji "For one who sees Me everywhere, and everything in Me; I am never lost to Him, and he is never lost to Me."-Sri Krishna (Bhagavad Gita)   "Wherever you concentrate, and on whatever centre, there must be a you to concentrate, and that is what you must concentrate on."-Ramana Maharshi"A fully Krishna (God) Conscious person, although situated in this material world, does not see anything but Krishna."-Unknown*Krishna is the God of Love in Hinduism"I Am so often not recognized.
