Ram Dass explains the origin of the title "From Bindu to Ojas."
"Bindu is sexual energy and Ojas is spiritual energy
and
it's the transformation of energy within the
body
through the conversion of a form of energy...
it's called the raising of kundalini."
From Baba Ram Dass lecture at the Menninger Foundation,
Journal of Transpersonal Psychology Vol. 2, No. 2 (1970)
From Nooruddeen Durkee: As we were working on the cover of the core book, FBTO, Ram Dass thought the mandala was too esoteric by itself, so he decided to add a kitchen chair to make the picture more understandable and easier for a person to relate to.
Over the years, many copies of From Bindu to Ojas
have lost their mandala paste downs.
This example of the Core Book autographed by Ram Dass.
Note that the original twine binding of this copy had worn
out and was replaced.
