Baba Rampuri Gives Satsang

Baba Rampuri addresses the World Psychedelic Forum in Basel, Switzerland on March 21, 2008. The title of his talk is "The Edge of Indian Spirituality." He speaks about inner pilgrimage, finding that place where worlds meet, and how an oral tradition passes down knowledge through the millenia. He connects the current exploration of consciousness through alchemy and plant deities with the oral tradition of India as well as the hermetic traditions of Europe. Baba Rampuri is the first foreigner to be an initiate of the Naga Sannyasis, (Naked Yogis), India's most ancient order of Yogis, and the author of BABA, Autobiography of a Blue-Eyed Yogi.

Baba Rampuri, an American expatriate, has lived in India since 1970, when be became the first foreigner to be initiated into India's most ancient order of yogis and shamans, the Naga Sannyasis.
He is now a guru with a number of disciples within the order.

During his long discipleship in this mystical and sometimes dangerous world, he received traditional teachings in Language, mantra, tantra, ayurveda, logic, ritual, and, encompassing all the above, the way of the yogi in the Yoga Tradition. Baba says, "Your tool of knowledge is language, because its boundaries establish the possibilities of the world."

After founding the Hari Puri Ashram in the Himalayan foothill town of Hardwar, in 1984, Baba has since become a member of the Council of Elders of Datt Akhara, Ujjain, Central India, and the special envoy of its Pir. He divides his time between his ashram in Hardwar, Ujjain, and Goa. He hosts an international camp at Kumbh Melas (the most recent being the Ardh Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, 2007), hosts retreats, teachings, and initiations in India, and gives lectures and teachings throughout the world on consciousness and inner exploration.
