This is Rambdas here and now, and I'm Ragu Marcus.

0:23.4

This talk from Rambdas harks all the way back to July 18th to be exact.

0:31.4

1976 when he did the last darshan.

0:36.4

It sounds like a movie at his dad's farm in Franklin, Franklin, a New Hampshire.

0:45.4

And many of you know that people used to gather there over the years.

0:51.4

Starting when he came back from India in 1968.

0:58.4

It's a place that's actually document. You can go up on the site and you can see all the Sufi dancing and Rambdas giving talks and chanting and yoga.

2:37.4

And I truly remember that moment myself and you can have more than one moment, it can be a number of moments.

2:45.4

It can be moments that happen throughout your life but that's very special moment is the first time that you actually experience that deep, deep clarity that there is a way, there is a path, there is something beyond senses.

3:04.4

And so Satsang is an incubator for that place.

3:11.4
