General Satsang: Here & Now Podcast Discussion Ep. 253
June 18 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm PDT
Dharmic Anger Soulpod Meetup
This episode of Here and Now is from a talk in Melbourne, Australia, in 1981.
- Ram Dass begins with questions about surrender, astrology, the renounced mind, and Meher Baba. He speaks about how the best teachers only want you to get free and why it might be useful to spend some time on the astral plane.
- Ram Dass responds to questions about how to enjoy letting go of anger, homosexuality, and the illusion of separateness. He tells stories of his time in India, touches on the concept of dharmic anger, and explores the importance of tuning to one’s own heart.
- Ram Dass finishes the Q&A session with queries about evil, love, and using hallucinogenics on the spiritual path. He talks about relative reality versus absolute reality, the art of social action, and why there are no rules in the game.
“Once you are without anger, then you can get really angry. I mean, there’s nothing more beautiful than dharmic anger.” – Ram Dass
After you listen, dive deeper – share, discuss, explore, and practice! The Ram Dass virtual Soupod Satsang provides a space for folks worldwide to connect and bring their inspirations, curiosities, and insights, as well as things we might not otherwise talk about with others. It is a nourishing, welcoming, and refreshing space open to everyone, whether this is the first time you’ve listened to a podcast or your 253rd.
Hosted by Jackie Dobrinska. Come meet the friends you haven’t met yet. If you feel nervous about talking face-to-face with new folks, just listen to these testimonials by others who were in your shoes.
We look forward to seeing you there!

In our 75 minutes together on zoom, we will:
- Start with a short centering,
- Have a short summary of the episode
- Share our own stories, curiosities, and inspirations in breakout rooms,
- Chat and/or chant as a whole group to create deeper connections.
It may feel uncomfortable to join a conversation with others you may not know. Yet, many participants with similar hesitations have shared that they felt immediately welcomed, included, and at ease. See some testimonials here.
Whether you are an introvert or extrovert, new to the teachings or have been here 50 years, tech-savvy or not, these meetups are for anyone and everyone interested in deepening into the teachings of Ram Dass. It provides a space to come together in spiritual community to connect, learn, grow, share and practice.
Please listen to the most recent Ram Dass podcast episode.
General Fellowship Mission Statement
The general fellowship is dedicated to building community and connections around the teachings of Ram Dass and Maharaji. It provides opportunities to gather together – virtually and in person – to share our experiences, inspirations, curiosities, and wisdom, recognizing that we are all on the path of learning together. We use the space to celebrate and consciously practice the teachings – loving each other exactly as we are, sharing our authenticity and truth with kindness, remembering God is always here and present, and feeding each other, as we are all hungry for something and we all have something to give. We meditate and chant together, listen to Ram Dass lectures, and discuss as a group.
Everyone is welcome.
To register, sign up for the Ram Dass Fellowship, and check “General Fellowship” under the Fellowship Group Options. You will be added to the mailing list and will receive links prior to the event.
