The Chord of Love: Readings by Ram Dass & Devotional Songs by Amazing Grace 

In the 60s and 70s many of us journeyed to the East in search of 'something'. In the foothills of the Himalayas, some of us were graced to touch the living spirit through our guru, Neem Karoli Baba. Being with the devotees surrounding him, we were opened to "bhakti yoga" the path of the heart. Through song, poetry, myth and prayer, we were reminded that ultimately there is only the Beloved. Now, many years later, when even a few of us gather, we share, as you will hear on this recording, extemporaneously, the words and songs that remind us of the Beloved yet again. Join us in the Ocean of Love. 

15 - Meditation with Ram Dass

This meditation is drawn from Theravada (Southern Buddhism) called "Anapana" - just bringing you to right here, and it's done through the breath. Out of all of our individual differences, what is common to us is we are all breathing in, breathing out. 


Ram Dass Breathing Meditation

Ram Dass first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard Alpert, a prominent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary. He continued his psychedelic research until that fateful Eastern trip in 1967, when he traveled to India. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharajji, who gave Ram Dass his name, which means “servant of God.” Everything changed then – his intense dharmic life started, and he became a pivotal influence on a culture that has reverberated with the words “Be Here Now” ever since. Ram Dass’ spirit has been a guiding light for three generations, carrying along millions on the journey, helping to free them from their bonds as he works through his own.
