On this special day honoring women around the world, we are pleased to present this unique meditation from Ram Dass on the Divine Mother. Ram Dass recalls how Maharaji would always speak to the Westerners of the importance of Divine feminine energy. As young men and women in those early days with Him, it was clear that their path to becoming whole and complete in their search for unconditional love, compassion, and wisdom depended on our relationship with the Divine Feminine.

Ram Dass - Divine Mother Meditation

Meditations on the Gita combines readings from the Bhagavad Gita by Ram Dass with musical accompaniments by John McDowell, Steve Gorn and Gardner Cole. Chants by Ram Dass, Diana Rogers and Shyamdas further elevate and inspire this essential meditation experience.

The Bhagavad Gita is a jewel of Hindu spiritual literature. It represents the essence of the Hindu path to union with God and it presents us with a profound vision of the goal of the mystic's journey. It has been read and revered by spiritual teachers ranging from Mahatma Gandhi to Annie Besant.

Song is an appropriate image for the presentation of the Gita on this recording. Ram Dass' readings and verses from the Gita are set against an underlying wave of music which carries from verse to verse and allows for the contemplation of the words and the ultimate meditative space to unfold. The last three tracks segue into various meditative chants that include Ram Dass, Diana Rogers and Shyamdas. Meditations on the Gita is a unique presentation of Ram Dass' resonance with the teachings of the Gita.

I Am Loving Awareness (feat. Ram Dass)

Ram Dass leads a 28-minute Vipassana meditation on bringing our mind to one point through the breath. This process must be done gently, the mind must remain soft, subtle, buoying and light. 

As your mind begins to concentrate, emotions will rise to the surface - greed, lust, doubt, anger, agitation… just notice them, don’t feed them or judge them - then gently return to the breath.

We keep the awareness gently riding on the breath, noting sensations rising and then passing away, like leaves floating down the stream.

5. Finding Unity Through Honoring Diversity

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.
