- Neem Karoli Baba
A life-long personal student of the legendary Neem Karoli Baba, (known as Maharaji), as well as H.H. the 16th Karmapa, Byron Katie and others, Ram Giri is deeply committed to help you awaken to your true potential.
Born in 1951 in Germany Ram Giri inherited the nightmare of WW II and the Holocaust. His struggle with deep depression, fear, anger, shame and low self-esteem led him already as a teenager on to seek effective ways to end his suffering and find self-realization.
Soon a series of powerful spiritual experiences opened his inner awareness and directed him to India and to Maharaji. This led to a lasting inner transformation.
He lived as a yogi and ordained monk in the Himalayas and became an accomplished practitioner of several traditions of yoga, meditation and healing. Later he was a founding member of Kashi Ashram in Florida where he continued his very focused spiritual practice for 25 years, while married and raising two wonderful daughters.
Ram Giri holds a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology. He has practiced and shared the gifts of therapy and of the world’s wisdom traditions with people from all walks of life who struggled with all kinds of probelms. He has lectured worldwide on spiritual and psychological topics and is an Associate Professor with Union Institute and University.
He offers his expert guidance to individuals, families and groups through consultations, training and support in using the Skills.
In 2006 Ram Giri used the Skills at Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Poland and proved their effectiveness and power to shed light into even the deepest darkness. This experience is a central theme in his forthcoming book, “Love in the Darkness: India, Auschwitz and the Heart of God.”
