"zander" (they/them) talks to The Universe in the form of "Matthew/Pavan Das" (he/him). After diving in through Pav's entry to the world of the spirit, we explore the practice of kirtan, shifting the culture from God as judger to lover, the non-dual space within our practice of self-love, serving Ram Dass, the new arena that opened after his body's departure, and desire being another side of intention.

For this very special episode of the Sacred Community Podcast, host Hari Scott Whitmore interviews Dassi Ma and Rita Green. Rita served the great saint Siddhi Ma in India for over 40 years. Dassi Ma was Ram Dass’s primary caregiver for the last 15 years of his life and is now the president of Hanuman Maui: Ram Dass Loving Awareness Sanctuary.

Pavan das made this sweet and silly video of Dassi Ma and Rita Green, two esteemed elders on the path of love, discuss how to make chai Maui style!

Pavan Das created this beautiful short film of Stever Dallman discussing the birth story of the Hawaiian Hanuman Murti that lives at Hanuman Maui: Ram Dass Loving Awareness Sanctuary.

Songs and Stories Inspired by Ram Dass

Pavan Das filmed this touching video of Dassi Ma, Ram Dass’s longest caregiver and closest student, share memories and teachings from her time with him.
