“Just For Now” is a simple and engaging guide to living fully in the present moment and freeing oneself from the mind’s constant chatter. This teaching helps release your consciousness from the illusory world of the mind, often trapped in thoughts of the past and future. It focuses on experiencing life directly and accessing the joy of being connected to the source of existence.
Self-discovery and freedom from suffering can only be realized through personal experience, by choosing to live in the present. Presence is directly perceived and understood through experience, not theory or discussion. This booklet compiles ten talks given by the author, Satyadeva Das, to a group of Chinese listeners via Skype over one year.
Inspiration: Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur
Teaching’s of Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur have been inspiration for the
author. Thakur quoted “Forget the past that sleeps, and never future
dream at all but act in times that are with thee and progress thee shall
call”.

Satyadeva Das
Born in 1950 in the San Francisco Bay Area, Satyadeva Das began contemplating the true
meaning of life at 13. At 19, a fortunate accident led him to Tokyo, where he met his spiritual
master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, founder of the
International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Initiated by Srila Prabhupada that same
year, Satyadeva Das has been on a journey of self-realization for 51 years.
Satyadeva Das conducts workshops on awakening and yoga philosophy in California,
Hawaii, China, and Japan, inspiring people to live happily in the present and understand
life’s meaning. His teachings draw on the timeless wisdom of ancient Indian spiritual
philosophy. This book is based on transcripts of his ten-day sessions on attentive chanting.
Professional and Personal Journey
Professionally, Satyadeva Das served as a paramedic for 25 years in the intense environments
of Oakland and San Francisco, dealing with death and trauma daily. Writing detailed reports
of each patient’s suffering led to depression and suicidal thoughts. This crisis pushed him
deeper into India’s ancient wisdom, helping him understand his mind and consciousness.
Practicing present consciousness, Satyadeva Das overcame repeated mental and behavioral
patterns, reducing anxiety and confusion, and returning to his true self. His approach helps
achieve a peaceful and happy life.
