  • The Guru and the Rebbe: Relationality in the Devotional Practices of Neem Karoli Baba Maharaj-Ji and Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson
    UCLA Journal of Religion Vol. 4, 2020 UCLA Journal of Religion Volume 4 2020 The Guru and the Rebbe: Relationality in the Devotional Practices of Neem Karoli Baba Maharaj-ji and Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson Jonah Gelfand Oberlin College ABSTRACT When reading through the stories of Hindu gurus and Hasidic rebbes, the similarities are immediately apparent. This paper will argue that these similarities are due to a parallel need among devotees for ‘relationality,’ which can be seen in case studies of the devotional practices of darshan of the Hindu guru Neem Karoli Baba Maharaj-ji and yechidut with the Seventh ​ ​ ​ ​ Lubavitcher Rebbe of Chabad, Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Additionally, it will be argued that the primary function of saints is to provide their devotees with an accessible form of divinity thereby fulfilling the underlying human desire to be in a relationship with the divine. Relationality’s central role will be proven by exploring a composite definition of the term that draws on four building blocks; the theory of intersubjectivity, Buberian Dialogism, and the practices of darshan in Hinduism, and yechidut in Hasidism. ​ ​ ​ ​ Keywords: darshan, yechidut, Chabad-Lubavitch, Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, Neem Karoli Baba Maharaj-ji, intersubjectivity, Buberian Dialogism 88 Jonah Gelfand The Guru and the Rebbe UCLA Journal of Religion Volume 4 2020 The Guru and the Rebbe: Relationality in the Devotional Practices of Neem Karoli Baba Maharaj-ji and Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson Jonah Gelfand1 Oberlin College Maharajji’s company was very special… his presence was more than inspiring; it was enlightening. While mediating in or near his presence, even though he’d be talking and joking loudly, one quickly reached the place of clear light, a place difficult to achieve without his grace and power.2 I know of no one who left the Rebbe without being deeply affected, if not changed by the encounter..

  • Entheogens in the Himalayan Foothills
    Entheogens in the Himalayan Foothills Ralph H. Abraham∗ 03 November 2015 Abstract Reporting a miraculous week of entheogens and sadhus in a temple in the montane jungle of the Himalayan foothills in 1972. ∗Mathematics Department, University of California, Santa Cruz, CA USA-95064, [email protected]. 1 1. Introduction In the Fall of 1968 I arrived in Santa Cruz, California, to begin a tenured position as Asso- ciate Professor of Mathematics at the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC). My first three years there were dominated by two opposite programs: political actions regarding academic freedom and civil rights at UCSC, and the hip cultural (and psychedelic) revo- lution in downtown Santa Cruz. During this time I lived in a twenty-four room Victorian mansion with an extended family. As hippies, we were very involved with spiritual and mystical ideas and literature, such as the books of Gurdjieff, Meetings with Remarkable Men and In Search of the Miraculous. We hosted many short term visitors with similar interests, such as Baba Ram Dass. I then found it convenient to go on extended leave for two and a half years. During the 1971/72 academic year I was living in Amsterdam, teaching catastrophe theory in the university. As the school year came to a close, I decided to go to India for the Summer of 1972, despite the monsoon season, to seek out gurus and ashrams. I happened across Ram Dass in the basement of the Kosmos (a center for spir- itual seekers), who gave me instructions for finding his guru, Neem Karoli Baba in India.

During the late '80s and the '90s, a flurry of sadhu activism coincided with the dramatic rise of a previously insignificant political party, the Bhartiya JanataParty (BJP). As a conservative Hindu nationalist party, the BJP allied with many sadhus, came to power at the center and in many states, breaking the monopoly that the relatively secular Congress party had held for more than four decades.

  • Focus of the Month 5.11
    Bobbi Misiti 2201 Market Street Camp HIll, PA 17011 317.443.1119 be1tyoga.com TOPIC OF THE MONTH May 2011 NEPAL and INDIA I went on an exploration trip of North India and Nepal. India can be so bizarre, yet fun and frustrating at the same time. i won’t miss the beggars or having to negotiate for EVERY little thing, not having hot water at the shower, and having the electric and internet work sporadically--I guess I will have a better appreciation for those things when I get home. I will miss the random craziness of the place, some of the people (especially the Nepali people), and their devotion to their way of life. I will be assimilating many nuggets from this experience into my life and psyche for a long time. I went on this trip looking for the spiritual side of yoga . and what I discovered is the most spiritual experiences I have had have been right here at home on my mat (and in Maui too). Actually some of my India experiences le+ me with a spiritual ,void- feeling! For example we stop to visit a temple, and people inside smear red on your forehead )you did not ask for it)and demand payment for it! Other people try to put you through some ceremony you don't even know what is going on--and again demand money. They demand money for where you leave your shoes, for even just looking at a shrine. And over ../ of the Babas or Sadhus, don't meditate or teach yoga or give lectures .

  • Q and a with Sadhguru
    Kavita Chhibber Home Articles Celebspeak Cover Stories Astrology News Contact Current Issue Celebrity Interviews Webcast : Q and A with Sadhguru By Kavita Chhibber Thank you again for the overwhelming response to my continuing conversations with Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, the founder of Isha foundation. The questions have been reformatted to make better sense. No question is off bounds with Sadhguru and I hope readers will continue to think about life and ask relevant, thought provoking questions so others can also learn from the discussion. Some repetitive questions have not been answered in this month’s selection. Please refer to previous Q and A selections. Others did not make it in time for the issue. Here are the selections for this month. Hi Kavita First, some feedback on your article..It was open and unbiased - and gave a refreshing view of a new guru - Jaggi Vasudev - almost made me want to see him - but ..Comments first! Just for your info I had heard about him - from another vehicle - please check - does he have a daughter who goes to Krishnamurti school in mudenhalli - because one of my nephews goes to school there and said - Sadhguru comes to visit his daughter - and comes laden with gifts but the daughter does not like her father at all -maybe school gossip - or is the old cliché - that all great beings have households that don’t like them and definitely do not find them DIVINE!!...anyway - Second, please ask Sadhguru clearly: 1) are all chronic diseases emanating from a distorted frame of mind-and therefore if the mind is calm - the disease should completely disappear? - if that is 100% true then why did so many great beings have horrible diseases till their death - Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Anandamayi, Ramana maharishi, Nisargadatta - all had cancer - Neem Karoli Baba died of heart failure- and had an ongoing heart condition..

Publications 84 Introduction 1 2 Introduction 1 INTRODUCTION t is with great pride, and still greater humility that we record in this report the major activities of Sri Aurobindo IAshram – Delhi Branch during the year that has just gone by. Pride, because many of the activities we undertook had the Mother’s approval, and therefore could reach a point that may be called ‘successful’. Humility, because very often we could not read the Mother’s Will, and therefore we failed. Humility, still more, because even the activities which were successful, were only a drop in the ocean of work that is going on in the world towards the Master’s and the Mother’s Mission of creating a human race with a distinctly higher level of consciousness than has been the norm for thousands of years, the Mission that may be called the ‘Makeover of Man’.
