It's about paying attention so that when these moments happen, I can be conscious of them. So, when the ‘love serve remember' message comes through in the form of a mushroom, in the form of Maharaj-ji, in the form of someone asking me for some change, in the form of my own mother, any way that it approaches, my practice is to try to remember." –Dakota WintAbout Raghu Markus:Raghu Markus spent two years in India with Neem Karoli Baba and Ram Dass.
