The caption is taken from the book ‘Excerpt from Chants of a Lifetime’ by Krishna Das. “Chanting brings me to a place of love within me, which for me is my guru, Neem Karoli Baba. From the outside, he was a little old man wrapped in a blanket in whose presence I felt unconditional love. Inside, there was (and there is) nothing in him that wasn’t love. I have to talk about my master because all that I have of true, lasting value comes from my relationship with him. I’m trying to sell you No. There is no one to join the group. We have already joined it. This is called “human race”. Maharaj-ji, who was beyond any sectarian beliefs, repeatedly said That we are all part of one family and the same blood runs through our veins.- Excerpt from Chants of a Lifetime, Krishna Das.
Responding to the post, actor Rajkummar Rao said, “Anushka, thanks for sharing this with us. Can’t wait to visit the ashram soon.”
