WORKSHOP RECORDINGS
A live recording from the free online event, Navigating Uncertainty by Vasu Jon Seskevich
This audio was recorded from over nine different livestreams throughout 2020 during the Covid-19 Pandemic. In these lectures, Sitaram Dass explores each line of the Hanuman Chalisa, using sacred scripture, humor, modern psychology, and stories from his time serving his beloved teacher, Ram Dass. In this way, the Chalisa's timeless relevance can shine through in our modern, daily lives.
This is a collection of talks and chanting from an event led by Sitaram Dass, “Transformative Ecstasy: exploring the inner essence of the devotional mood,” that was recorded live on 9/28/19 in Arcata, CA.
