The author of this astonishing audiobook first became involved in the practice of devotional yoga at fifteen in 1970. Since that time Sripad Jagannatha Das has traveled the world in pursuit of his goal of self-realization through the Vedic tradition. Spending many years in India under the tutelage of many advanced devotees, Das has now reached the venerable age of sixty-nine and his quest to teach is stronger than ever. In this touching-spirited memoir, the yogi recalls his walk on the yogic path and how the deep divinity of bhakti yoga has colored his life.

The Hanuman Chalisa is a Vedic devotional hymn in praise of Hanuman authored by the poet sage Tulsi Das. The word "chālīsā" means the number forty in Sanskrit, as the Hanuman Chalisa has forty verses. Lord Hanuman is a great devotee of Sri Ram and one of the central characters in the epic Ramayan. Hanuman is also an incarnation of Shiva. The qualities of Hanuman—his strength, courage, wisdom, celibacy, devotion to Lord Ram, and the many names by which he is known are all in the Hanuman Chalisa. Devotional recitation of this sacred prayer is done by millions every day.

Thereafter, on a trip to India—like Clark Kent changing into Superman—he became the much-beloved spiritual teacher Baba Ram Das. His 1970s iconic book Be Here Now turned on a generation to the deep, non-sectarian spirituality within us all.

Throughout history, some of the most thoughtful minds have advocated that life does not end with the death of our body, but continues via a process known as reincarnation. The Vedic literature of India advocates that the soul, or atma, gives life to the body. Life does not arise from a particular combination of material elements as some modern scientists theorize. At the time of death, we leave one body and enter a new one. That is called reincarnation.
