Pavan Das guides a variation of Anapanasati to awaken the heart of Loving-Awareness in this 30-minute meditation.

Sitaram Dass recites the Sacred Community invocation, discusses its importance, and shares how Sacred Community is “Loving-Awareness practiced together.”

Sitaram Dass is interviewed by his good friend Hari Scott Whitmore for a discussion on the beginnings of his spiritual path, his time with Ram Dass, and the Bhakti Path.

These words from Sitaram Dass were adapted from the upcoming book, Loving-Awareness: Awakening the Heart-Mind through the Path of Grace. They describe SCP’s core interspiritual stance of Loving-Awareness actualized in the teachings of Love, Service, Remembrance, and Truth.

"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.

This is a live recording from a 5-day silent Loving-Awareness retreat led by Durga Stef and the members of Kripa (Hari, Krishna Prem, Pavan Das, and Sitaram Dass).
