I see people here criticizing Bhagavan Das for what he says in this clip, but I can accept his word because I can see that he is speaking from experience. by getting so tripped up on what he looks like and what he has done to attain these pearls of wisdom, people miss the point - thereby proving his point even further. even further - he wasn't just some dude who decided to take a yoga class and thought that he's being spiritual. he literally devoted years of his life to wandering India and learning from gurus there until he "got it" and I'm sure once he did, he had a pretty good laugh. he seems like the laughing type to me. truth can come in strange disguises, and sometimes it can seem like nonsense or contradictory statements. you either get it or you don't. there aren't any adequate words for it, but once you get it, all of the words make sense. he's talking about the need to experience it. and that's not something that someone else can do for you or push you to do or even explain to you. but he can describe the need for it and offer a few words of advice.
He is Real and Raw and he comes from his heart. This whole movie was just someone's Bad trip projecting onto him. He is a sound healer/lover of Spirit and a wisdom keeper and yes in some respects a teacher,but he is not your Guru and people shouldn't project onto him as that, just because he has a lot of spiritual power and love. Hes the victim in this movie and a good persons Mis-perception of him.Sorry Jeff, I know your intentions were good, but you really missed the mark on this one.You really got into your head(intellectual mind) about it all...What you felt initially wa's the pure truth in our opinion. Myself and many others that lived in communities over the last 20-plus years where he has lived, can confirm there's never been one instance that we have heard of him crossing the line in any way on anyone. And these were pretty open Hearted Tantric communities. We have all benefited from his presence immensely and he has a gift to the world to share through his singing to the Divine it and it is truly out of this world. For anyone who really truly wants to know him better, read his book, it's all right there All of it...Check it out. He's not sugar-coating anything.....
People who have known him truly and dearly for many many years should stand up for him and let all the haters be haters... They really don't know him. He comes from the heart and Truth and he is a benefit to mankind and people should experience what he brings to the world first, before they just blindly believe whatever so and so says. People are not enlightened (Sorry Jeff) and people have clouded minds and perceptions of reality and this movies producer is a prime example of that
What he said is exactly True. Most of we Indians never do Yoga. Most of us are blindly following Westerners. There are very few people who still kept and Practicing and Transmitting Yogic practices in Pristine way.
Hey thank you for introducing Ram Das to Maharaji and so grateful to your spirit. Some people in the comment section don't get it... that's ok. When you were telling peple to camp, be alone, cry, listen to the birds and watch the light change, is that what you experienced during all of your travels apprenticing for masters - all your stories about going from ashram to ashram... your experiences with different places, starving in some, parasites in others I think... but is that your experience. It appears you spent ungodly (or very godly) hours alone... is that true? You never really talk about you actual experiences in day to day life in that book you kind of skim over it... I guess you were pretty details. I just want more. Love those stories.
1:31 Chopping Wood and Carrying Water...that IS the Way...when it Is. Until then... At first there is not knowing and a degree of bliss, then a long search for knowing, and finally not knowing again and total bliss.
But what if you took up other people's "way" to get more spiritual & found that it worked for you? I ascribe myself to no one religion, but take from several different traditions of spirituality & for me, I find it works. Namaste
So why is he dressed up playing guru singing Indian chants, if he’s saying be with your own path, your own culture? He doesn’t sound wise, he sounds like a salesman. I don’t hear his heart, just his mind.
He told me at age 46 he was... to do everything that you feel you are, full steam. I said would you tell a heroin addict this? Yes. If you want to do heroin do it full steam. Listen folks, don't listen to him. You are not your own God. Anything goes if you are. Wow silly people you will fall for anything.
Bikram Choudhury says the same thing about people in India...that they've gotten fat and lazy(in mind, body, and spirit)and no longer do hatha yoga/raja yoga. THATS WHY Bikram now employs instructors from the U.S. to teach the students in India yoga again. and BTW, who ever said yoga was from India in the first place? i do believe that yoga is far more ancient on this Earth and did not originate in only one particular point on the globe...
Sir, Hatha Yoga is not the real yoga..it's just some physical exercises developed in India during 17/18th centuries...Other forms of Yoga that you should be knowing ..Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga etc..and remember Yoga is purely an Indian word which originated and developed in India...there may be some physical exercises that might have developed in some other parts of the world..but that's only physical part of it..the other aspects have no match anywhere in the world..
it all started with the first religious experiment we took on that wasn't our own , that would be christianity. Christianity was a religion started in the middle east, it was not our religion (northern europeans) we had our own religions before christianity, those were our roots are true paths,if we were to follow our ancestors, but we were imprisoned but this cult from the middle east and took it for our own, and lost all but the most basic knowledge of our original religions
Kinda Ironic that a guy who adopted the name "Bhagavan Dass" and who makes his living and practice singing in Sanskrit should be the one to criticize people utilizing foreign spiritual paths (as if the teachings of a Jewish Rabbi from the Mideast weren't also foreign in a way) Can other culture be criticized for adopting materialism and technology that they didn't develop? When he gives advice on what to actually do, he's more on point. I find that when people are in criticizing mode, they tend to be more hypocritical.
Hi I didn't take what he said as a criticism more an observation of whats going on. I presume he is self aware in that he followed others only to find the answers came from within rather than with out. Would you be so kind as to watch this clip again and see if your mind/heart has changed? Would be cool if you could do so then repost your new or unaltered experience. cheers mate
Marcus Liddell If he was self aware, he would have referenced himself and all the ridiculous layers of pretense/artifice he has accumulated, but he doesn't. I wonder why not?
His point is that we take claim on these thing but we modify it to meet our desires instead of practicing it in the way it was taught. So he does have somewhere to to stand with his argument because he did go to the Himalayas and live in an ashram and learn from teachers who carried on the ancient teachings. The west does not do that we fit it around our material desires instead so that we may stay in our material ways and so further entrapment by Maya blocking us from realizing our true nature of inseparable oneness with all things in existance as well as all plains of existance. But essentially don't choose the path that involves renunciation if your not ready to renunciate. You must go all the way or not at all. Ram Ram
@@kutanath4988 darling Bhagavan Das didn’t adopted it in a yoga class . He was the first white male walking through India and had many teachers there. Or have you purified your body for a year
I think by "white" he means Americans who live in an overwhelmingly consumerist culture and operate from that mindset. No need to get all offended. Or is there? Also, he is a Christian. He just don't look like one. Or does he?
He is so desperate to appear wise and above it all, meanwhile Kermit Michael Riggs calls himself Bhagavan Das and lectures white people (of whom he speaks so contemptuously here) on someone else's religion. Utter nonsense. Christianity isn't just for one people. Islam isn't just for one people. Hinduism isn't just for one people. Buddhism isn't just for one people. This is gibberish.

He has a vast amount of experience, his biography is riveting.

Nico yes his bio is amazing.

This man changed my world. He is the reason I travelled to the source. I am forever indebted to his spirit 🙏

At least he knows and admits what he is, what you see/hear is what you get
But what if you took up other people's "way" to get more spiritual & found that it worked for you? I ascribe myself to no one religion, but take from several different traditions of spirituality & for me, I find it works. Namaste
all yogas (hindu, zen, tibetan etc) are technologies to realize that very thing..
Hello friends, dandavats. What's the music in the final of the clip? (The one that plays only a few seconds)
I love jumping into cold water.
So why is he dressed up playing guru singing Indian chants, if he’s saying be with your own path, your own culture? He doesn’t sound wise, he sounds like a salesman. I don’t hear his heart, just his mind.

Listen folks, don't listen to him. You are not your own God. Anything goes if you are. Wow silly people you will fall for anything.
Umm. Pot calling kettle black?
At 2:06 he completely forgets what he is droning on about, causing him to switch from "guru mode" to "pick-up mode".
no, wrong conclusion mate, fail
Marcus Liddell ...listen to the mother... listen to your body... mmm, yeah baby!
Kuta Nath you are misinterpreting his words. Peace.
At Least he is Real. And he doesn't claim to be anyone's Guru. It sounds like you pretty much have your own ideas...
@@marcusliddell youre such a brown noser Marcus

His autobiography is weird. I bought it. drink drugs wives his ex wife kills herself w cocaine. his advice is weird here.
he's selling spiritual materialism to seekers. no different than selling luxury cars to power players. once a salesman, always a salesman.
who? chant w/bhagawan das...magic bliss and tears of joy
Wow is he judgemental...what a joker
This from a guy who went full yogi, heh, heh.
I disagree.
Bite your critical tongue poseur.
Very dangerous =mix= of semi truths and distorted views... i
You sure About that? I guess you think you have got it all figured out...Good for you
It sounds like you are talking about yourself
