This book is about Neem Karoli Baba. The date of birth of Neem Karoli Baba is not known. It is presumed that Baba was born around 1900. He left his body on 11 Sep 1973. He helped millions to start their lives and made it trouble free. He became a divine energy for people of all faiths, Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, men and women, young and old, Indian and western. Presidents, Vice Presidents, Governors etc, Amongst first of his western devotee was Dr Richard Alpert of USA a professor of clinical psychology at the Harvard University, USA. He met Baba in 1967. But even after he left his body in 1973 people came to his Ashram and their worries were solved. For example Steve Jobs CEO of Apple came to India and visited the Ashram in 1974, after Baba had left his body. After he went back to USA soon his fortune started building up and Apple became one of the biggest names in industry. Mark Zukerberg Founder of Face Book was also helped. Famous Hollywood actress and producer Julia Roberts, is a devotee of the guru Neem Karoli Baba. "Larry" Brilliant an American epidemiologist and author of "Sometimes Brilliant" participated in the successful World Health Organization (WHO) smallpox eradication program on the advice of Neem Karoli Baba. There are no books, or preaching by Baba. The only books that are available are from his Indian and western devotees who complied experiences of various devotees that came in contact with Baba. I hope this book would help the western readers to understand "Hinduism," Master/ disciple, God/ devotee relationships to solve mundane problems and rid of the worries anxiety and misery.

A celebration of one of the most influential spiritual leaders of our time: Neem Karoli Baba, the enlightened guru who inspired a generation of seekers—including Ram Dass, Daniel Goleman, and Larry Brilliant—on life-altering journeys that helped change the world. In 1967, Ram Dass returned to the West from India and spread the teachings of his mysterious guru, Neem Karoli Baba, better known as Maharajji. Ram Dass’s words about Maharajji’s life-affirming wisdom resonated with a youth culture that had grown disillusioned with the violence, civil discord, and crude materialism of modern civilization. Hundreds of Westerners traveled to India and experienced Maharajji’s extraordinary presence directly until his death in 1973. His simple directives—love everyone, feed everyone, and remember God—opened their hearts and awakened their souls. What these followers brought back to the West has since changed the landscape of everyday life. Meditation is now mainstream; yoga studios are in every town; and mindfulness is practiced in elementary schools and board-rooms everywhere, from Silicon Valley to Capitol Hill. A stirring piece of history, Love Everyone brings these stories to life, sharing for the first time the inspiring tales of the men and women who followed the siren call of the East to the foothills of the Himalayas, then returned to forever reshape the world. A compelling and inspiring tribute to Maharajji from the Western men and women who knew him best, Love Everyone is a profound teaching on the power of love, as lasting and transformative as the truth, wisdom, and bliss of Maharajji.

"Barefoot in the Heart" is a collection of transcribed oral stories of the Indian saint Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaji). It includes many anecdotes and first-person retellings of stories collected in India and the in the USA over a period of 9 years, by Keshav Das, including a small selection of unpublished stories originally intended for inclusion in "Miracle Of Love" by Ram Dass. "Barefoot In The Heart" is a divine raft to take us across the ocean of darkness to the glorious land of light. Every page is filled with Maharajji's nectar..... Profound gratitude to Keshav Das and his collaborators.... - Jai Uttal

T he material in this volume is culled from over two thousand stories about Maharajji gathered during five years from more than one hundred devotees. To these devotees who shared their treasured memo ries, I wish to express my deep love and appreciation. Some of them felt that no book could or should be written about a being with qualities as vast, formless, and subtle as Maharajji’s, and yet they contributed their stories nevertheless. I honor them for this kindness and I hope that in my zeal to share experiences of Maharajji with others who were not fortu nate enough to have met him, I have not misused their trust. Some devotees tell me that stories told by other devotees are not fac tually accurate. I have no way of ascertaining the authenticity of any single story. All I can report is that those o f us who gathered the stories were impressed by the credibility of those of us who told the stories. Though the responsibility for this manuscript lies solely with me, I am delighted to acknowledge a lot o f loving help from my friends:

For centuries, readers have turned to the Bhagavad Gita for inspiration and guidance as they chart their own spiritual paths. As profound and powerful as this classic text has been for generations of seekers, integrating its lessons into the ordinary patterns of our lives can ultimately seem beyond our reach. Now, in a fascinating series of reflections, anecdotes, stories, and exercises, Ram Dass gives us a unique and accessible road map for experiencing divinity in everyday life. In the engaging, conversational style that has made his teachings so popular for decades, Ram Dass traces our journey of consciousness as it is reflected in one of Hinduism’s most sacred texts. The Gita teaches a system of yogas, or “paths for coming to union with God.” In Paths to God, Ram Dass brings the heart of that system to light for a Western audience and translates the Gita’s principles into the manual for living the yoga of contemporary life. While being a guide to the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, Paths to God is also a template for expanding our definition of ourselves and allowing us to appreciate a new level of meaning in our lives.
