Love Everyone
Neem Karoli Baba, more commonly known as Maharajji, was a revered enlightened Guru who inspired Ram Dass and countless others through his deep love and profound wisdom. In 1967, Ram Dass returned to the West from being with Maharajji in India and spoke about the incredible spiritual gifts he received from his beloved Guru. As a result, hundreds of Westerners flocked to India in hopes of experiencing the transformative love Ram Dass spoke of. Maharajji's teachings of unconditional love and unity left a deep life-changing impression on his followers. LOVE EVERYONE tells the stories of many of those Westerners who spent time with Maharajji, and shows how the seeds that were planted back in the early '70s grew and blossomed in the decades since.
"Love Everyone vividly captures a seminal moment in Eastern wisdom and spirituality making its way to the West. Parvati Markus's lucid account skillfully weaves this group memoir into a modern-day Pilgrim's Progress. While words will ultimately fail to capture the depth of our meeting with that truly remarkable being, Neem Karoli Baba, Love Everyone offers a rich mosaic of those magical days."
- Daniel Goleman, author of A Force for Good: The Dalai Lama's Vision for Our World
"I loved this book. It is the story of a generation (my own) that went to India to learn how to live, to actually be happy. It's the story of meeting Neem Karoli Baba and learning transformative new dimensions of love. It is the story of a time and a place that also symbolizes our own intrinsic human potential at any time, in any place."
- Sharon Salzburg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness
"The grace-filled stories of Ram Dass and those who met his beloved guru have inspired and opened the hearts of millions. Here you can join them on their beautiful journey and connect with the grace and love yourself."
- Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart
"After working with people from all over the world to eradicate smallpox, polio, and needless blindness, I've learned that nothing truly great can be accomplished without loving each and every one. But the trick is that not only saints like Neem Karoli Baba can love everyone; we can, too, when our hearts are open. This book will open your heart."
- Dr. Larry Brilliant, epidemiologist, author, and senior advisor at the Skoll Foundation
"'Parvati has opened the radiant heart of Maharajji and generously shares its miraculous warmth, inclusive love, and wisdom for anyone who cares to see, hear, feel, inquire, unmask, awaken, and transform. Maharajji's true love overawed both my New York motor-mind and youthful egocentric heart, changed my life totally, and has never left me-distance or death be damned. I highly recommend it!" ·
