“Varanasi will confront you with a lot of things you won’t be confronted with anywhere else in the world. This uncomfortability is what spirituality is. A lot of people think that spirituality is the sunflowers, the sunset. These things are very beautiful, but when it all cracks, that’s the ‘real real’. When you watch a body burn, you think of everything in your life…your fate is ash, your fate is dirt, you will spend more time being dead than being whatever you are right now." – Dakota Wint

Full Interview with Raghu Markus From Ep. 2

Tuesday, March 17, 2026 • Duration 21:20

This interview was featured in Ep. 2 of The Flower Heads Show. Listen to that full episode here in The Flower Heads Show podcast feed, or watch the video version over on Be Here Now Network’s YouTube Channel.

Raghu Markus, executive director of Love Serve Remember Foundation, chats with Dakota Wint about meeting Neem Karoli Baba and sustaining spiritual practice without psychedelics.

Recorded in Rishikesh, India, Dakota and Raghu discuss:

The day that Raghu met Neem Karoli Baba
God, humanness, and experiencing the ineffable
Intention of truth and the universe rather than the individual ego
Neem Karoli Baba’s apparent immunity to psychedelics
Instructions from Neem Karoli Baba: Feed people, love people
Integrating psychedelic teachings rather than continuing to return to them for answers
Having faith and letting go of our self-fixation

About Dakota Wint:

“In that time, I was so invested in the psychedelic as being the answer, and maybe lacking faith and spirituality because it doesn't have the same direct experience as the psychedelic. But now, slowly, slowly, eight years later, we're back here, and I think I have changed my mind. My mind got changed. My mind got rolled." –Dakota Wint

About Raghu Markus:

Raghu Markus spent two years in India with Neem Karoli Baba and Ram Dass. He has been involved in music and transformational media since the early 1970s. Currently, he is the Executive Director of the and hosts the Podcast on the Be Here Now Network. Along with Duncan Trussell, Raghu also recently co-created .

For more conversation about faith, spirituality, and psychedelics, listen to this episode's full interview with Raghu here in The Flow Heads Show's podcast feed, or watch the video version over on Be Here Now Network’s YouTube Channel.

What it means to trust the mystery and release control
Spirit messages during an indigenous psychedelic ceremony in Mexico
The profound truth that arises in moments of silence
A powerful reflection on faith from Raghu Markus

About Dakota Wint:

"All spiritual practice is about remembering, for me. This is my spiritual practice. It's about paying attention so that when these moments happen, I can be conscious of them. So, when the ‘love serve remember' message comes through in the form of a mushroom, in the form of Maharaj-ji, in the form of someone asking me for some change, in the form of my own mother, any way that it approaches, my practice is to try to remember." –Dakota Wint

Dr. Robert Svoboda is the first Westerner ever to graduate from a college of Ayurveda and be licensed to practice Ayurveda in India. During and after his formal Ayurvedic training he was tutored in Ayurveda, Yoga, Jyotish, Tantra and other forms of classical Indian lore by his mentor, the Aghori Vimalananda. He is the author of twelve books including Prakriti: Your Ayurvedic Constitution and the Aghora series, which discusses his experiences with his mentor during the years 1975 – 1983.

In the years since 1986, Dr. Svoboda has traveled extensively, spending three months per year on average in India. He often speaks on Ayurveda, Jyotish, Tantra and allied subjects in locales across the world.

“Something that Vimalananda emphasized repeatedly is that the least important part of Aghora is the external part, the part where you’re applying a bunch of ashes and showing off, because that’s the superficial part. The important part is what's on the inside.” –Dr. Svoboda

Ep. 6 - The Monks Who Tried to Beat Death.. And Won

Episode 6

Tuesday, July 21, 2026 • Duration 26:28

What does it mean to become a living Buddha? This time on The Flower Heads Show, Dakota explores the legend of Japanese monk Tetsu Monkai, the mystery of sokushinbutsu, and awakening to our own Buddha nature.

In this episode, Dakota explores:

Becoming a living Buddha via mummification
The legend of Japanese monk Tetsumonkai
The immortal diet of sokushinbutsu
Dakota’s mountain journey to see the living Buddha-body of Tetsu Monkai
Transcending the body and seeing our own Buddha nature
Waking up from the habitual entropy that we are all lost in

“I sit there under Tetsumonkai. I got to sit there and look at his mummy body, his sokushinbutsu, his living Buddha-body. I had a deep realization—I saw in that moment that the meaning of Tetsumonkai is that there is no Tetsumonkai. Becoming the immortal Buddha is to transcend the body, to die within the body, to realize the truth while you are in the body. When you look at Tetsu Monkai, you’re looking at your own Buddha nature.” —Dakota Wint
