Miracle of Love: Stories about Neem Karoli Baba (Ram Dass) 5

I purchased this book about 20 years ago and have read every page of this book ever since many, many times. I feel like I know maharaji and he knows me. I feel like he is responsible for little miracles in my life on a regular basis. This book is usually close at hand- I may put it down for a few months, but there it is back again and I am so grateful that maharaji is there to save me, help me, protect me. I traveled to India in 1978 and took sannyas with another guru then and am still connected by heart with that master, but maharaji is something so special anyway. I will typically read from this book 8 or 10 times a week and this is after 20 years! I would like to meet Ram Dass too because I feel like I know him from the book. It has a lot of Ram Dass in it. I would also like to visit the temples in India and feel the vibe of maharaji, that would be so sweet. Hope you get to know him too.

Miracle of Love: Stories about Neem Karoli Baba (Ram Dass) 5

This book arrived via synchronicity, LOL. I forgot the details, but I had just finished reading a book by Ram Dass from the library or some such, and made a mental note to try to find more books on Neem Karoli Baba. Within a couple of weeks, it arrived! We are Book Scouts and Online Booksellers (since 1998) and I was working on listing some of our new acquisitions... pulled this one from the stack and said, "Oh no he didn't" (a Shrek Cliche), it immediately became my property and was read, piecemeal, until redundancy. Actually, it is still kept by my bed and read almost daily.
I find the stories inspirational. All other texts on spirituality and such are by those telling you what you should do (and maybe they have and maybe they havent themselves), or what others have taught you should do, or relate stories of Saints/Messiahs/Guru/etc. that are second-hand hearsay and even hundreds of years after the person lived. Not so here.
If these stories are true (or even some of them true), it seems that Neem Karoli Baba is greater than Jesus Christ or Buddha or even Ramana Maharshi!
Why? Because there are too many stories related of basically miracles and evidence that what he promoted as the nondual God is TRUE. How could it be otherwise? However, and unfortunately, he never wrote books like Ramana. He did not start "schools" and "systems" such as Buddha did. He did not espouse a Gospel or start a religion, as Jesus Christ did.
His teachings were individualized and correct for the particular Devotee(s), situation, and time. Being Here Now Absolutely.
Wow. This text cannot be taken as Teachings such as found by reading Ramana Maharshi. They are stories (tiny snippets actually), and not directed at the Reader.
But, again, I find them extremely inspirational. Again, if this man was real and the stories real, then this is evidence of the Truth. And, it is the Truth for All. Reading this book reminds me of that and supports my hope. Hopefully, it will for you too.

"Miracle of Love" truly is a miraculous book. To read its pages is to experience the presence of Neem Karoli Baba.
My thanks to Baba for his blessings, and my personal thanks to Ram Dass for collecting, writing and editing this treasure. "Miracle of Love" served as an inspiration for writing "Divine Play, the Silent Teaching of Shivabalayogi", as well as "Swamiji's Treasure, the God Realization & Experiences of Shivabalayogi."

Miracle of Love: Stories about Neem Karoli Baba (Ram Dass) 5

Neem Karoli Baba has been my guide since I first began reading the books of Ram Dass, starting with Be Here Now. He had been comming to me in dreams for many years, unrecognized,(once on a speeding green and white dirt bike, blanket flapping, bursting through a small room I was trapped in,grinning at me with great pleasure in the ride, showing/leading the way out...) Then I "discovered" the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram and Hanuman Murti in Taos, New Mexico (a mere 5 hour drive). What a shock of recognition that that funny,playful, powerful Guide was my Guru. He led me to my living teachers and still was there when I was with them. He brought me to many spiritual spaces, and pushed me into Sufism/Islam. I feel him in and around me when I remember him. He stated: "I am here and I am in America. Whoever remembers me, I go to." He is Alive, at the very least in this collection of stories. If you sincerely ask for his help, he will come..."God will give you everything you need for your spiritual development." These stories are choked with the sweetness of the Love of the teller, and reflect the sweet Love of that endearing Rascal, Neem Karoli Baba. RAMRAMRAM

Miracle of Love: Stories about Neem Karoli Baba (Ram Dass) 5

Of the greatest spiritual teachers in living memory, Neemkaroli Baba was the essential teacher of unconditional love. This love and the deep devotion it inspired shines through all the short stories of this book, all gems of simplicity, immense kindness and of an abolute mastery of life.
If you want to be inspired by this great soul and connect with your own purity of heart, then this book is for you. Today, as in the past, Maharaji touches many directly in profound and life-changing ways. This book has been a vehicle to allow many people to make this connection.
