We are starting a special mini-series featuring Ram Dass and guests from his Satsang on Maui.
This episode kicks things off with Kirtan by Uma Reed, as Ram Dass humorously explores the wonder of aging and seeing the entire world as God.

“Aging is wonderful, all you have to do is stay conscious.” –Ram Dass
In this Satsang with Ram Dass, the group talks about:
- Dealing with pain, injury, illness, and other effects of aging
- Seeing the body as simply a vehicle for this plane of reality
- Ram Dass’s book Still Here and aging with awareness
- Focusing on our consciousness rather than concerning ourselves with the body’s decline
- Ram Dass’s story of seeing Krishna in a police officer
- Playing our roles while we are in this worldly plane
- Karma Yoga and seeing the entire world as God
This talk was recorded in 2008 at one of Ram Dass’ quarterly Sunday Satsang gatherings in Studio Maui.
“I’m learning the aging process has to do with the body and my consciousness need not be concerned with my body. The body is a car, it’s a transport for this plane.” –Ram Dass
