The Bhagavad Gita is a gem so precious in India’s spiritual treasury that many regard it not as a volume of sacred verse, but as a living manifestation of the Divine. In the summer of 1974, inside a balmy Boulder, Colorado, warehouse that served as a main hall of a fledgling Naropa Institute, some say a minor miracle occured: The reawakening of the Gita’s living presence, as it unfolded in a series of wisdom teachings led by Ram Dass. With Love, Service, Devotion, and the Ultimate Surrender, you are invited to experience these legendary gatherings.

Rd. Northern California –
Highly recommended for the spiritual path
Again Ram Dass delivers. I have traveled the spiritual path for many years and there is a great quantity of material on the subject but Ram Dass gives a clear and insightful message for the western yogi.

Where’s the chanting?
I own the original cassette tape version, and was very disappointed to discover that so much of the footage – both from Ram Dass’s lectures and from the kirtans, the latter of which were the heart of the recording – had been cut out. It has been over-edited.

More like Ramdass’s adventures in spiritual seeking
Ramdass is a great and very engaging speaker/teacher. You can listen to him regardless what is the topic he talks of, or how controversial it may be. In that way this is a great and very engaging talk, recorded in the 70s at Naropa. The point is just that it is not a whole lot about the Gita. He refers to the Gita now and then, but it is largely about his own adventures in spirituality – which of course includes considerable adventures with psychedelic drugs and a lot of stories about his guru Neem Karoli Baba. It is interesting, and there are things you can learn from him that you probably would not learn from anyone else. Such as the conflict between ahimsa and eating meat. And of the serious differences between Buddhist and hindu traditions. Along with it you will hear a lot of stuff which is to me a little disgusting, such as how many acid trips he took and why he thinks such dangerous experiments are ‘sometimes ok’. All said and done, worth hearing if you are up for it. And definitely not the Bhagavad Gita.

Ram Dass puts spirituality into easily understandable terms, speaking from personal experience with anecdotes and stories to amplify his message. His approach is practical and down to earth, given from a Western point of view. This is important, since much of Eastern Philosophy comes to us from an Eastern culture, making it that much harder for a Westerner to grasp. His message is from the heart. Ram Dass is a brilliant speaker, enjoyable to listen to. This CD is based on the Bhagavad Gita, so may require a basic review of the Gita’s story line for some. Well worth the cover price.
