Stever Dallman, PhD joins Sitaram Dass for a discussion on the topic of Love. What does Unconditional Love mean? How do we practice it? What does it look like within an interpersonal relationship? How is Love an active and transformational force? How do we surrender to it?

This is a live meditation recording from Sitaram Dass where he uses the mantra, SitaRam, as an anchor to bring our devotional heart into the presence of grief. In this way, we are reminded that our hearts are capable of holding the entire human experience.

In this excerpt from the audiobook, Exploring the Hanuman Chalisa, Sitaram Dass discusses different ways we can approach the idea of God in form. He expounds on the concept of "multilogical thinking" as a way to elasticize our ability to utilize seemingly-contradictory perspectives and worldviews, and he offers some guidelines on the "protective factors" to keep us safe, minimize harm, and stay aligned with reality as we explore these various beliefs.

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.”
