From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Neem Karoli Baba was a Hanuman devotee and teacher (guru) in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. He died in 1973. He is best known in the west for being guru to a number of young westerners who were drawn to Indian spirituality in the 1960s and 70s. These disciples include the author Ram Dass and the musician Krishna Das, and many others known informally as the Das'es. He practiced a style of bhakti yoga involving ecstatic chanting and preached service to others and unconditional devotion to God.
