    Thank you Gotham so much for sharing Deepak with the rest of us. I guess he is a dad and most of all a true human being.

    I admire you sharing your dad in the way you see him. I admire him for all the work he does.

    Namaste,

    Rea

    Dear Gotham,

    Your father thinks he is always right and you need to make sense of it by yourself :)

    My son struggled with the same.

    Guess we all do.

    At a certain moment we all are able to melt the mixture of our father and mother into a wonderful own realization.

    You are their offspring, you are their next step on the evolutionary ladder.

    Eventually you become their inner child.

    You are doing great! Wishing you lots of insights on your journey ahead!

    Love and success from the Heartphone

    Nice and interesting… next time could you please ask him… about his confession of causing the Baja earthquake during one of his meditation sessions… true or untrue curious minds want to know.

    Dear Gotham,

    I truly hear you, I love Deepak as a teacher but I also have a parent who is successful and seems to be always right, and I am trying to find my way and my own answers so to speak in this world, having your perspective is light-hearted and I truly appreciate you sharing it in your own delightful way! Best, Priya

    This is so awesome! Thank you Gotham. I can't wait to see this documentary too. I love when you say he's addicted to starbucks and his blackberry, lol. He is human after all! But one question, why doesn't he have an iPhone? Or did I see one in this trailer?

    I am a fan of your dad and it's so great to see him in this context, love it!

    Sounds like a strong and beautiful sharing…

    I reflect lately, how, in a lifetime, there are so many vicissitudes of learning and transformation- and parts of ourselves some people will never know…

    Happy blessings to you!

    Back at last, how are all my fellow-grandees? Oh, good, better, best–bewitching!

    In, out of police cells, courts and straight into the pool of truth to wash away the British rule of the bullies.

    Watch this space, better still, magnum opus. jb

    Wow! Love your perspective, your very own and truthful one.

    thanks for sharing

    I love this. Gotham you, your Dad and family amaze me. My feeling use to get hurt when I hear people smear negativity about my favorite people ie (Deepak Chopra) Then I realize that I need to get past it. The video shares a lot. I enjoyed the clip. Can't wait to see the rest. When ever I want to feel closer to Deepaks spiritual wisdom I chuck on down the 405 to the Chopra Center. Thanks

    Gotham that is very emotional, when our fathers grow old they tend to see what we see by in a different perspective. Tolerance is what should drive and judge our actions, because fathers and mothers are important in our lives no matter their ages. – Jordan
