148 Culture & Dharma – Why New York Doll David Johansen’s Death Hit Me Hard
Discussing my shock at hearing of the death of singer David Johansen of the New York Dolls, a band I love, and how it floored me ... in comparison to not having such an emotional connection to people I know. A discussion of death, not Sanatana Dharma related. Live 3.2.2025.
0:00 – Hearing the news of David's death had me crying on the sidewalk
1:40 – Iggy Pop & Stooges & New York Dolls were best of 1970's NYC underground/punk scene | raw attitude | David the chameleon
5:19 – Emotionally touched by David's death though not the biggest fan | being touched by someone's art
8:37 – Emotional connection with a stranger but not own relatives
12:36 – Including New York Dolls in forthcoming book as sign of connection
15:50 – Closing thoughts | David's final words from Sweet Relief Musicians Fund (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDcyke9Nbrk)
For seekers who’ve outgrown spiritual fluff. This isn’t about trends, vibes, or blind devotion. This is real talk for real seekers.
🎙️ Each episode is part of a larger journey. This isn’t random content—it’s a structured path into deeper truth, not easy comfort.
I’m Premanand Das Bhagat (Aaron Joy), in Portland, Maine, USA.I followed the so-called spiritual path—believed everything and anything, joined a cult, and ran in circles. Through honest effort, deep unlearning, and painful self-awareness, I found clarity in Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism).
Now, I speak to those who feel the same disillusionment. If you believe in asking questions, rejecting lazy universalism, and using logic and scripture together to navigate this chaotic world—you’re in the right place.
🕉️ I'm a Integral Vedic Counselor, Certified Spiritual Life Coach and Ayurveda Specialist. I'm a student of Dr. David Frawley and devotee of Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya, following the non-Advaita, non-Universalist Vaishnava lineage of Ramanuja. My spiritual name was a gift from Dr. Chaturbhai Babaria (Swaminarayan Gurukul USA).
