His alter ego, Steve Bhaerman recently completed a book with cellular biologist Bruce Lipton, Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future and How to Get There from Here. Offering a heartening view of our evolutionary future based on modern science and ancient wisdom. the book has been called “world-changing” by spiritual luminary Deepak Chopra as well as political commentator Thom Hartman. So we will have lots to explore and giggle about.
In the guise of Swami Beyondananda, Steve Bhaerman is a fount of comedy disguised as wisdom – or is it wisdom disguised as comedy? Noted author Marianne Williamson called Steve “the Mark Twain of our generation” because the comedy isn’t just hilariously funny, but also offers sharp social commentary and spiritual perspective.

So far, he has also opened centers in Holland, Spain, Lithuania, Sweden and Taiwan. Rinpoche is greatly appreciated by his students for the way he tirelessly makes himself available and helps them realize qualities of wisdom, peace of mind and compassion. Rinpoche is head of numerous humanitarian and cultural preservation projects in Tibet, India and Nepal. Since he left Tibet in 1998, he has worked closely with His Holiness, the Dalai Lama and his government. Namkha Rinpoche is an old friend of Lodi Gyari Rinpoche, special envoy of HH the Dalai Lama in Washington D.C. and spokesperson designated by the Dalai Lama to engage in negotiations with Chinese leadership. Namkha Rinpoche has always wanted to follow His Holiness’ advices and to serve the main goals set up by His Holiness, among which the improvement of the Tibetan people’s living conditions and the development of world peace through peace of mind, as well as mutual respect between religions. This partnership with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and its government has now been made concrete as His Holiness has accepted Rinpoche’s invitation to teach in Switzerland in August 2009 and continues in 2010 to come to the US sharing spiritual teachings.
Rinpoche’s main visions and projects, are first, to establish cultural preservation and humanitarian aid in Tibet.
