Book Recommendation: Miracle of Love
In this Year of Adoration (2010), I can think of no more fitting a book to recommend than Miracle of Love: stories about Neem Karoli Baba, compiled by Ram Dass. (Note: You may also watch My recommendation of this book, given during an expanded video discourse on devotion and the Year of Adoration, delivered on 31 December 2009 in Melbourne, Australia.)
Many have come to know Ram Dass by way of his breakout bestseller, Be Here Now, which he wrote about and after his time spent in India, in the divine company of his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba. Miracle of Love is a compilation of stories and lilas, written and spoken by scores of disciples and devotees of this great Master, as well as accounts collected from seekers and travelers from all walks of life, ones who had the great blessing of being in the company of this renowned saint. The stories are at once compelling, intriguing, varied, and often entertaining, as the reader gets quite an insider’s look at (and vicarious experience of) all the magic and wonder that happens in the presence and company of saints, this one in particular.
Himself an embodiment of Hanuman (the Hindu deity known as the embodiment of devotion, and celebrated for his devotion to his Master, Rama), it is no wonder that so much of Neem Karoli Baba’s life and message was to inspire in others that same fathomless level of devotion to God and Guru. What is most fascinating about Neem Karoli Baba is his utter simplicity. Spending much of his time sitting upon his “tucket,” devotees would surround him and drink of the love he emanated, all the while becoming more and more devoted to him… thereby to God… and ultimately to self—the whole meaning, magic, and purpose of devotion. This book is itself a lesson and training in the Art of Devotion.
Those who choose to see devotion as an act of weakness have yet to discover why Bhakti yoga is the highest—and fastest—path to God-realization. Why is that? Simply put: Devotion is quickest path to self-love, and the journey to God-realization is the journey into absolute and total, unconditional love of and for all aspects of self. And it is by our devotion to another (and all others) that we master loving ourselves. Add to that the fact that, when your gaze and devotion is directed at a God-realized being, you are receiving the darshan of that one (his blessing, which is an infusion of his actual God-vibration), you are receiving a direct transference of spiritual power, and you are accelerating your soul’s evolution faster than by any other means available to humankind.
Reading this book will change the way many people see the act of devotion. It is My intention and hope that, by reading this (and other books by and about fully God-realized Masters), you will find greater strength, inspiration, encouragement, and will become smitten with a newfound love of God. Most of all, may you discover the true spiritual power and myriad benefits to be gained through the selfless and masterful practice of devotion.

Las Vegas Events – April, May 2010
From April 8 – 12th, Markus Kasunich and Zimmaron Zsido traveled to Las Vegas to hold Satsangs on behalf of the Louix Dor Dempriey Foundation and to promote Louix's upcoming visit. On April 9th, they held a Satsang in which Markus led a guided meditation. Afterwards, Markus and Zimmaron shared intimate stories about their profound walk with their Guru, including being on worldwide pilgrimages; showed unreleased film footage of Louix; and held an open Q&A session. They also held a Satsang on April 12th which included a ceremony with Pancho, The New Generation Crystal Skull, before returning to Prema Drala. Both these events were promoted by the Awareness & Consciousness Group of Southern Nevada.
On May 19th, Louix gave darshan at the Wingate Hotel in Henderson, Nevada (just outside of Las Vegas). Guests continued to arrive throughout the evening, as 75 people received individual anointings of all different kinds from Louix. Pranam serenaded the room with devotional music as the bliss intensified and people experienced heightened states of love and joy.
On May 22nd, Louix held a One-Day Retreat at the same venue. He began the retreat by leading a guided meditation wherein everyone summoned their closest guardian angel, and reconnected with that Divine Being. Following this meditation, Louix partnered everyone and asked that they stare into each other's eyes, and see and feel their angelic presence. After a mid-day break, he answered many questions from the participants, giving them specific guidance on how to deal with many life circumstances. Having absorbed His love and precious wisdom, everyone left with a more profound experience of God and Self.
