Neem Karoli Baba was one of the greatest spiritual masters of our time. Even today, many years after his death in 1973, Baba continues to touch people's lives in many different ways.

In 1973 Ma’s guru, Neem Karoli Baba, first appeared to her and has been teaching her ever since. Through Ma's work, Neem Karoli Baba’s blessings have continuously graced her students' lives. His presence is felt in every aspect of life at Kashi.

Baba's main teaching can be crystallized in the words, "Feed everybody." This command to feed pertains not only to physical food, but to the food of the heart, direct and unconditional love.

Following in his footsteps, Ma Jaya and her students are engaged in service activities, touching people with AIDS and other diseases, children from backgrounds of abuse and neglect, and many others.

"Having seen Him, all is seen. Having heard Him, all is heard.
Having touched him, all is touched. Having known him, all is known.

Ma Jaya - speaking about Neem Karoli Baba

While Neem Karoli Baba never gave sermons or speeches, he taught through the immediacy of his profound ability to love. As many people who experience his presence today say, "He is as alive today as ever." In this way, he maintains the ability to touch the lives of many in tangible and lasting ways, opening those who turn to him by awakening a great and never-before-known depth of love within themselves.

"Love the poor... serve them.

Give everything to the poor, even your clothing.

Give it all away.

Jesus gave it all away, including His body."

- Neem Karoli Baba

In 1976 Ma moved to Florida and established Kashi Ashram and the Foundation’s several branches. She teaches internationally, and in many cities around the U.S., groups of her students gather for Satsang. Her interest in bringing together people of diverse faiths has found expression in her role as a trustee in the Governing Council of the Parliament of the World’s Religions for many years. She emphasizes individual spiritual growth and does not require her students to embrace any particular set of doctrines or beliefs.

"All religions are the same.

They all lead to God.

God is everybody...

the same blood flows through us all,

the arms, the legs, the heart,

all are the same.

See no difference,

see all the same."

- Neem Karoli Baba
