Beyond Buddha with Steve Bhaerman (aka Swami Beyondananda)

MP3 Download

Set aside your Baghavad Gita, your Koran, your Bible and your New York Times and join one of the happiest mediums you’ll ever find for an hour of the lighter side of enlightenment. Many of us have enjoyed Steve Bhaerman’s extraordinary view of the world as revealed by the persona of Swami Beyondananda in syndicated columns, books and live performances. His unique blend of humor, politics and spirituality will make you laugh out loud while you shake your head at the ironic truth the Swami finds in the simplest of metaphors. He shares his vision of Nonjudgment Day as a day when “all of the nations at United Nations begin all of their sessions with the Hokey Pokey. The Palestinians and the Israelis, they put their whole selves in—that is commitment. They pull their whole selves out—that is detachment. They turn themselves around—that is transformation. And that’s what it’s all about.” (hosted by Michael Toms)
