Episode 12- Jon Vasu Seskevich

Jon "Vasu" Seskevich has been a trailblazing nurse clinician and primary disciple of Ram Dass's for 50 years. After two years of obsessively reading and re-reading Be Here Now in the early 70's while hitchhiking and practicing kundalini yoga, Jon endured a difficult LSD experience and took a shot in the dark writing Ram Dass a letter to ask his advice in processing the bad trip. Much to Jon's surprise, not only did Ram Dass write him back, but his return letter set in motion a lifelong teacher/student relationship between the two that directly led to Jon creating his own revolutionary career and curriculum in compassionate nursing care at Duke University between 1990-2019. Jon is a breathtakingly genuine and humble sweetheart of a man, a record keeper of the highest order, so in love with the world and earnestly devoted to cultivating path of the expansive Heart. For the Love Serve Remember heads and hardcores, this episode is an absolute gold mine - chalked full of mind-blowing first hand accounts of Ram Dass sewing the seeds of Love in the West, as well as the full circle experience Jon had being Ram Dass's nurse on one of his last pilgrimages to India in 2004.  My friend Jon "Vasu" Seskevich recorded this podcast on the day before he was to undergo heart surgery, which I have released in the early morning hours of his surgery (August 16, 2022) as living prayer for him and his extraordinary passion for alleviating the suffering of beings. As you listen, know that Jon is open to healing thoughts and  energy being directed his way. The world certainly has much still to benefit from this true saint, who is deep undercover agent for the divine. In the final moments of this episode performs a round of a rare English translation of the Hanuman Chalisa on his harmonium.
