LOVE, SERVICE, DEVOTION, AND THE ULTIMATE SURRENDER by Ram Dass
Description
Bhagavad-gita is a precious stone in the spiritual treasury of India, which many consider not the Volume of sacred verses, but a living manifestation of the divine. In the summer of 1974, in fragrant Boulder, Colorado, in a warehouse that served as the main hall of the fledgling Naropa Institute, some say a small miracle occurred: the awakening of the living presence of the Geeta as it unfolded in a series of wisdom teachings led by Ram Dass. With love, service, dedication and utmost dedication, you are invited to experience these legendary gatherings.
The story of the warrior Arjuna and his divine friend Krishna serves as a metaphor for the recurring dilemmas we face as we spiral into the depths of our spiritual journey. During these sessions, Ram Dass illuminates the main verses of the Gita with insights spanning many traditions, from the ecstatic poetry of Rumi to the Basho koans, from devotional chanting to monastic silence, from Sri Ramana’s self-exploration to Saint Paul’s devotion to Christ.
Destination? A new look at the critical points of controversy and questions that all spiritual seekers must face time and time again: if all this is Divine perfection, why bother seeking at all? Is it possible to awaken without a teacher or guru? Why am I experiencing these strange spiritual “gifts”? Will I be lost in their power? If I am conscious and kind, why not indulge in all the joys of life? Since everyone suffers and dies, will my compassion ultimately matter?
With irrepressible love and intelligence (and a good dose of skillful mischief), this epic encounter with Ram Dass provides new answers with every repetition, like a lifelong friend who comes to meet us at every turn of our journey.

More information on self-help:
Self-help or self-improvement is self-directed improvement — economic, intellectual, or emotional — often with a substantial psychological basis.
There are many different group Self-Help programs, each with its own focus, methods, associated beliefs, supporters, and in some cases leaders.
Concepts and terms stemming from the Self-Help culture and the twelve-step culture, such as recovery, dysfunctional families, and codependency, have become firmly established in mainstream language.
Self-help often uses publicly available information or support groups, both online and in person, where people in similar situations come together.
Since the early examples of independent legal practice and home counseling, the connotations of the word have spread and are often applied in particular to education, business,
psychology and psychotherapy, commonly disseminated through the popular self-help book genre.
According to the APA Psychological Dictionary, potential benefits of self-help groups that professionals may not be able to provide include friendship,
emotional support, experiential knowledge, identity, meaningful roles, and a sense of belonging.
