Neem Karoli Baba

The life and legacy of Neem Karoli Baba — Hanuman devotion, Kainchi Dham, and the simple teaching of Love, Serve, Remember that reached Ram Dass, Steve Jobs and beyond.

Neem Karoli Baba is a biography by Indian author Parvind Kumar tracing the life of the Hindu saint associated with Hanuman devotion, seva, and unconditional love. It follows his early life and years of wandering, the founding of Kainchi Dham, and his influence on Ram Dass — whose encounter with Baba helped introduce his teachings to a wider Western audience, followed by Steve Jobs's visit after Baba's death and Mark Zuckerberg's later connection to the temple.

Rather than presenting every tradition as historical fact, the book distinguishes historical record from devotee tradition and spiritual interpretation, centering on Baba's deceptively simple teaching: Love. Serve. Remember.
