Peace Now Podcast

Written By Sitaram Dass

Sitaram Dass was a guest on the Peace Now Podcast, which explores “the relationship between meditation practice and addiction recovery. We’re interested in the pathways towards liberating change and transformation.”

From the show notes:

Today I'm talking with Sitaram Dass about meditation practice and grace. We explore a number of interesting topics that can help us on our journey. These topics include:

1. How painful behaviors and personality patterns are suboptimal expressions of core emotional needs

2. Getting absorbed in poetry and creative passions

3. The teachings of Ram Dass and Neem Karoli Baba

4. His poem “moaning for love scraps”

5. The relationship between non-dual states of mind and devotional Bhakti practices

6. The difference between Guru Kripa and spiritual bypassing

7. How core values are evidence of grace
