Join Sitaram Dass for an immersion in mantra meditation, devotional chanting, and storytelling drawn from the gods of India and his time with beloved teacher Ram Dass. Through these practices, the heart opens naturally, revealing the boundless Love that is our true nature.
Bhakti Yoga—the yoga of devotion—teaches that Love is both the path and the destination. By weaving together sacred sound, story, and song, Sitaram Dass invites us to experience devotion not as an abstract idea, but as a living, embodied practice.
For several years, Sitaram Dass had the blessing of serving Ram Dass during the final chapter of his life. Reflecting on this time, he shares:
“I received the rare chance to be in close proximity to a man who truly lived from the heart. Whether lecturing on stage, sitting with friends, or resting quietly in his room, Ram Dass acted from love. To live from the heart, to act from the heart, to sing from the heart—this is the most important thing anyone can learn.”
This spirit carries forward the timeless teaching of Ram Dass’s guru, Neem Karoli Baba: “Love everyone, serve everyone, and remember God.”
