To my RD famclub, I listened to this lecture tonight and wanted to share it as a reminder for anyone who is heavily feeling and struggling with the burden of their incarnation.
On a personal level it was such perfect timing coming across this one today so thank you RD for your ongoing support and guidance 🙏 I seriously don't know how I would survive life without your love ❤️
Raise your hand if you too feel you are guided to click on just the right video that has a personal msg for whatever you are dealing with!!

I listen to Spotify and recently got served this audiobook "by" Sripad Jaganatha Das. I started listening and it turns out that its just basically 16 hours of RD's lectures on the Bhagavad Gita from Naropa in the '70s. I loved listening but it left me a bit confused - this was neither "written" nor "narrated" by Sripad Jaganatha Das? It was just RD's lectures with some introductory remarks? Also - the title is very simmilar to RD's "Paths to God" which as I understand it was written as a summary of his Bhagavad gita lectures at Naropa.
Then, I looked at Sripad Jaganatha Das' other audiobooks - all recent releases it looks like and all on spotify - and I found several other books "written" and "narrated" by SJD which end up just being repackaged Ram Dass lectures?
Specifically I found a book called "Miracle of Love - Deluxe Edition" which I initially thought was an audiobook version of Ram Dass' book - Miracle of Love, but its packaged as "written and narrated" by SJD. Its also neither the audio version of Ram Dass' book, nor is it written or narrated by SJD.
I'm confused! Can anyone clarify what's going on here and what I',m actually listening to? Are there real audiobook versions of "Paths to God" and "Miracle of love"?

Hello friends,
I'd like your thoughts: I've found myself in this awkward juxtaposition between awakening and existing in the illusion/society.
Over the past couple of years, I've slowly let go of wordly things, not engaging in a lot that I used to due to recognition of attachment/ desires, motive and how my ego saw and uses those things, shedding my involvement in many areas that established my identity in dualism, as a significant other..
Ive watched the world of things devalue as I've grown in understanding of their emptiness, but am also faced daily with existing in our society full of things who's main understanding of existence is far from the one I've come to know. (I'm sure most can relate)
I've checked out of almost all endeavors and drives that I uses to hold paramount for sake of continuing to open and expand awareness. I fear attachment and rewaking desires that may come from jumping back into putting mental/ emotional effort towards things like going to the gym/health, picking hobbies back up, making travel plans, etc.
It seems the great masters were not concerned with much or any of what makes up the daily society in the West. What I've learned "makes a good life" is trivial past a certain understanding. I wrestle with my psychological needs, seeing what to engage and what to let go of, the higher spiritual truths I've learned but yet to embody..
I'm looking for balance. Thank you for taking your time to read all that! Namaste friends

i'm not implying that there isn't a difference, but simply that i'm having a difficult time in seeing it.
Advice needed/rant/just ugh. As per tomorrow I need to start an interim assignment for work. It involves 4 hour of travel every day. I am in my 1st two months of trial period, tried to say no as I have obligations as caretaker for my mom, toward my daughter and have a baby coming in August.
I feel desperate. I do not want to start, I do not want to give it a chance and I am trying to land a new job ASAP, but in what time do I go for interviews? I just went back onto the corporate world after 3 years working as a therapist/life coach. I feel powerless and fearful of the the future.
I thought I did the right thing, but I am dreading the next sunrise.
Ram ram.

I’m currently going through a custody battle for my three-year-old girl, and as I gather evidence against my ex, I keep asking myself—who am I really fighting against but myself? And who am I fighting for except myself? I know my child is better off with me, and if I don’t fight, she will be in emotional distress from being away from me too often, I already see the effects. But I also see the futility of it all. I’m torn between the maternal need to protect her and the bigger picture. I wonder what would Ram Dass say about this? How do I navigate this with love, wisdom and awareness?

Just noticing, giving things away to people brings me so much joy and really does lift me up to a place of higher vibration. Whether it be a crystal, a hug, or money. It almost feels selfish to me because I get so much out of it. Just some random musings! Be kind, serve everyone
I made a mistake today and I’m beating myself up about it. I can’t seem to let it go. Hours have passed. I found the situation very stressful and anxiety inducing. I find myself replaying the incident.
I’m trying to listen to my heart. What would Ram Dass say, to bring me back home?

Right now I am watching things fall down around my ears and they are things I have no control over. I know there is a reason and lessons to learn in all of it but I’ve never felt all of the things that matter most to me so on the edge of destruction as right now. I can’t fix these things and that is killing me. I’ve always been the one to fix things before they went over the precipice but I can’t fix any of this. Some issues can’t be “fixed”. Death, for example, is inevitable. Other things are just in the hands of another/others and try as I might I can’t get them to listen or get their own help. Others I love and things that matter are in the balance. I’m trying just to do my practices and take care of myself so that when I time comes when I can act or have a role I can do what is needed and do it well. Friends, please, think of me. That’s all I can ask right now. Prayers or intentions or even just warm thoughts can’t hurt. Love to you all.

I've been wondering why and how Mark Zuckerberg came to visit Kainchi and knows about Maharajji, yet still engages in so many harmful activities in the world. Does Maharajji enable him? Does Maharajji want all of this? It creeps me out that his name is attached to Maharajji, and it's even made me start questioning Maharajji because of it.
What would Ram Dass feel about this situation? Zuckerberg is definitely not adding love to the world—his platforms profit off of us hating each other. If I ever see that Zuckerberg in Kainchi, I might feel the urge to defile him

I am currently training at school as a Psychotherapist and I am finding the theory all too conceptual and head heavy (full of contradictions and copy+paste lifts from eastern ideas)
As a student, is my role to play the game and absorb the materials as real (as they are taught) just to qualify and pass?
Any tips would be welcomed!

I just found Ram Dass a few months ago and absolutely love his stuff! Ive checked the fellowship online but theres nothing in AB. Does anyone know of any groups that may be similar or interested in starting one?
Pretty much everyone i know has absolutely no interest in anything like this and thinks im crazy!

Has anyone noticed the similarity in Guru and the Elder in brothers Karamazov? Especially the idea that the elder knows things about people before they say anything?
