After giving a talk on Loving Imperfections, Sitaram Dass leads a 40-minute Loving Awareness mantra meditation. This meditation was recorded on day 3 of the 2024 Sacred Community Retreat on Salt Spring Island.
Sitaram Dass (K. Sandin, LCSW) (he/him) spent several years serving his beloved teacher Ram Dass on Maui, where he was shown the path of Bhakti, the yoga of service and devotion to God. He is a kirtan singer, social worker, author, and spiritual counselor. As the director of the Sacred Community Project, he works to lower the barriers of access to contemplative and devotional practices. His book, From and for God, is an intimate and contemplative collection of writings on the spiritual path.
